The article brought up some points we've seen before: hits count, not caliber and those that are trained for the fight usually win it. I thought his comments on the front sights of revolvers vs. autos to be... different as well as his point shooting comments.

Since this is in a major publication I thought I'd throw it out here to chew on.

Thoughts on the article? (with the obligatory )
If you want input make your point. I do not read civilian mag's to learn how to fight.

"and those that are trained for the fight usually win it."

So what do you say about the 100 police officers pinned down by 2 guys with AK's ??? Were they not trained? Did the ones that survived the engagement really "win"?

Let me put it another way, how long do you think the bad men with AK's would have lasted in front of same number of soldiers armed with just pistols? Against SF types (with just pistols)? Would the possible outcome be solely based on our training or might our "mindset" come into play?

BTW I'm not placing fault with our police, I am however pointing out that it's not just tactics or weapons that win fights, it's the mindset.
