Thanks for posting. I will never criticize the "teacup" grip ever again...

It amazes me how far firearms instruction has progressed from such humble and rudimentary beginnings. Still, we can thank folks like Applegate that actually cared enough to break the mold in mainstream tactical thinking at the time.

Good video. I wish I could find more of the 45acp tracer ammo.

This isn't a bad video. It's been a long time since I've seen some of this stuff.
