WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

The Liberal geniuses running the Great State of Maryland decided to go to war against guns, so the world's oldest and one of the largest gun manufacturers in the world unbolted their machines from the shop floor and moved to Tennessee . . . S.L.

Beretta USA to Locate New Manufacturing Facility in Sumner County, Tennessee

NASHVILLE – Beretta USA officials along with Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty announced today the company will expand its U.S. operations by building a new firearms manufacturing plant in the Gallatin Industrial Park. Beretta, a global manufacturer of high-quality sporting and military firearms, will invest $45 million in a state-of-the-art manufacturing and R&D facility. Beretta will create 300 new Tennessee jobs. The company is expected to complete construction on the facility this year.

Beretta makes excellent guns; I carried a Beretta professionally for the better part of two decades and I know my way around an M9 as well as I know my way around an M1911. In fact, I'm thinking of investing in another Beretta just to show solidarity with the cause.

Look! They named a pistol after ME: the Beretta PX4 STORM Sub-Compact, available in 9mm x 13 round mag or .40 S&W x 10 rounds.

Come to think of it I do have a requirement for a sub-compact and 9mm is a very useful and utilitarian round. Might get a matched pair - one for me and one for the wife. The kids can inherit our .38 snub-nose revolvers.

Bye-bye Maryland! It was real, and it was nice, but it wasn't real nice!

TREAT YOUR WOMEN RIGHT

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute has a great firearms training program going. They have an incredible blog, they do great things in the name of marksmanship training and weapons safety.

As a small arms trainer/instructor for over twenty-two years, my area of expertise is combat pistol marksmanship. I am a strong advocate for instructing civilians in weapons safety and firearms training in general, and I believe the essence of the Second Amendment is an armed citizenry, ready and able to provide for the common defense.

A disclaimer, however; I am not affiliated in any way with Front Sight - although given the opportunity I would participate in their operation in a heartbeat. I hope that I may find the time & wherewithall to become involved, even if it means simply participating as a student - then I may properly endorse Front Sight.

It is within this theme that I present Front Sight's material here, and hopefully the opportunity will come to learn more about their operation.







These guys aren't part of Front Sight but I slid them in here because of the terrific accent, and there is some value to what the guy is saying:




He talks about doing a pause before you shoot - we used to call it "taking that thousandth of a second pause to actually aim before you pull the trigger." I know - what a concept, right?



Now back to Front Sight - this bird is terrific as well:
