no one says they cant shoot a glock.... its about comfort and ergonomics nick. surprisingly, the gen 4 glocks at shot show were alot better without the brick ergonomics.

there is a ppq avail on brian enos forums with 5 mags for 450.

So here it is.... Started already, youtube for Ed Brown.... second result... http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ed+brown&oq=ed+brown&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1727l2973l0l3203l8l7l0l1l1l1l284l1247l0.3.3l6l0

http://www.youtube.com/user/Sturmgewehre http://www.youtube.com/user/FateofDestinee shared the media room with these two too. Should of seen how companies were lining up to get time with these people.

final comment, I am not a fan of the guy, I do think he is a bit whiney, and even though I was rudely treated two years in a row by Ed, and would never buy any of his guns as a result of it, I would not of posted a video. Now this guy tom... 1 month on youtube... Name: Tom Channel Views: 201,626 Total Upload Views: 1,231,011 Age: 48 Joined: Jan 3, 2011 Latest Activity: 2 hours ago Subscribers: 11,042 1 million video views, 11k subscribers. Yep.... in one month, he had his videos viewed by as many people as the total circulation of Guns & Ammo.

Yes, these dumb kids. Here is a clue, every company out there, including shot show, went out of their way to kiss the ass of every one of these bloggers. These bloggers make a bigger impact that most of the gun rags that get thrown out. go ahead, google any gun out there, see what comes up first, some site, forum, blog, youtube video..... or some magazine article. http://www.youtube.com/user/hickok45 146k subscribers in 3 years, 51 million video views. http://www.youtube.c...cy?blend=1&ob=0 182k subscribers, 89 million video views. what was the readership of any gun rag out there? Want some more? Find a gun rag with 2 million subscribers. http://www.youtube.com/user/FPSRussia 2,120,230 subscribers, 355,942,803 video views, in less than 2 years. How many guns have those guys sold? And want to hear the silliest fact... any one of those bloggers, can be the next one. So what is more important to a company now... a magazine rag where there is no interaction or instant feedback and that gets thrown away, or some blog that gets on the top page of search results. Even if this guy is out to make himself successful, what do you think a magazine is doing it for? Because they care for glock's success or to sell advertising and subscriptions? I am one of those guys that went on a media pass through the forum. I spent time with CEO's/Executives of a few major manufacturers, met with 2 designers, from Sig, Mr Tanfoglio himself. In the media room, company representatives were in and out every few mins to do an interview with some web media. Just saying. =) The internet is here to stay. Over the past 2 years, I have met with easily over 250 or so companies at shot show, only 1 gave me the cold shoulder, also the one with the booth with minimal traffic.... Mr. Ed Brown.

Kevin, are you for real? Your equivalent would be.... I went to an Ed Brown stocking dealer today and wanted an interview, the guy told me no. Now... the equivalent of Shot show is.... you went to the Detroit Auto Show, went to a company executive and asked "Hi, I am a media blogger with so and so, do you have 3 mins of your time to do a quick interview?" Who will say no? Especially if you can say... btw, I own an Aston already. No one is saying Ed's products are bad, merely saying that he needs to wake up and realize you ought to be friendly because you dont know if the person coming to you is your next big lead. Fact is, if he was too busy to spare 3 mins for someone who bought two of his guns? totally inexcusable. it is one thing if Ed Brown was the only guy around building 1911's, guess what, he is not. And every other custom builder I have spoken with will be more than happy to do so. The fact that he is getting free publicity, from a guy who LOVES his products, and he does not want to take that opportunity? clueless.

welcome to the forum.

Btw.... This video is already making the rounds on google through ar15.com, gunbroker.com message boards and I am sure others as well. https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMs8b7U2tsI%26feature=related&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest#q=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DBMs8b7U2tsI%26feature%3Drelated&hl=en&client=opera&hs=zSa&rls=en&channel=suggest&prmd=imvns&filter=0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=425caf698c102cde&biw=1440&bih=788 You don't f with the internet. Google has the ability to ruin any business, and unfortunately for Mr. Brown, once it starts going, it goes. What folks don't realize, at Shot Show, there were 1,200 media passes just for Media Day the day before the show, and a crap load more at the show. International media, bloggers, youtube, big publications. Look at Hicock45, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri5AyXzxb4o, this video got close to 1 million views. What is the average circulation of says Guns & Ammo? 470,446 issues.

You would be quite wrong. Read my response. I would venture to guess more people watch this video, than read a review in some gun rag that is once and done.

For real guys, this is 100% believeable as i had almsot the same treatment, and I did not even ask for an interview. Came over there with my internet/media badge, started asking a few questions. The whole attitude was what we joke about HK, we're better than you and we know it. When I asked to see one of the firearms, was given a half dirty look, with "wtf do you want" stamped on the forehead. I wanted to look at another handgun, but felt like I was a burden to them. CZ, Sig, EAA, Hk (yes, Hk!), Steyer, Glock, all went out of their way to make sure every question was answered, and introduced me to someone else if they were not sure. Not even Arthur Cier, at Shot Show 2011 was that standoffish. For Babganoosh, I would agree with you, however, this is not some random meeting, this is not even a PA gun show.... this is Shot Show. Where he paid over 25k for a booth for 4 days, to exhibit his goods, and to communicate with likely buyers, and people of the press. if I asked him for an interview, and he said no the first time, I would leave. the guy in the video, was not just media.... he is a fawkin customer! He bought 2 new guns of his, spent at least $6k on two of his guns, and gets the cold shoulder. That is what he thinks of his customers. On the flip side, as an example... Jon, Eric and I went to the Knights Armament booth, and I mentioned that Eric is a customer of theirs, they went out of the way to thank him for it. And their stuff, can be just as premium a product. how about a company whom you tell up front, you hate their products. With Glock, I mentioned both at Media Day and at the show, that I did not like their products, both the reps went even further to talk and listen to me and my concerns. Now imagine you went up to Ed Brown, told him you thought his products were overpriced, versus say Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, what do you suppose his response would of been? For the setting and the circumstance, I don't care if you are in the mood or not, you are to drop everything and do it, even to spend a few mins answering questions, instead of chatting with their friends behind the counter.

there is no pre-registration for shongum. Just show up. ron just likes to get an idea of how many folks to expect, and uses the email to let people know if the match is canceled or what not.

Holy shit... and I thought I was the only one. Went over to their table... they gave a bit of an attitude.

The range can handle a 50 bmg, however if you want to fire anything over a 300 win mag, let them know and ask.

Will be there.

what are you guys shooting that you separate by head stamps?!?!!? anyone by lot number? For precision, benchrest rifle, I absolutely understand, for pistol... its a waste of time. Only ones to watch are military crimped brass (seldom run accross), and Winchester NT (non toxic, tight primer pocket). and I will usually toss military stuff, and it is typically not an issue for 40 cal.

Standard Arbitration agreement. Typically with all financial related matters, you waive right to a jury trial, and go to binding arbitration, which is a lot cheaper for everyone.

I need my training in, while I figure out what to shoot for Florida Open. I should be in, if I can get Anastasia into the idea of shooting first, then going to the company ski event after.

This one is ok.

PPQ not production legal, just saying. =P Watch the uspsa intro sticky in this section, full of videos that will answer 99% of the questions.

lol, tell me about it. is it?

Typically, the answer to this question is yes. Especially if you get a model tweaked by Dawson or whomever.

So was going to respond more, but then found videos. I can shoot faster with a slight cant, but shoot more accurately with a different hold, elbow bent, slightly closer to body. skip to 3:00 mark. Here you can see I can get all the shots off, and all on paper, however accuracy goes down a bit. Second video, slightly bent arm. Better accuracy.

Having a gun canted at an angle is not "gangsta" style. that would be full 90 degrees. Yes, when you shoot one handed, strong or weak hand only, having the gun canted helps with the recoil. Not as accurate, at least for me, but controls recoil. the other school of thought is to bring it closer, and aligning your elbow straight up down, it will recall more, but you want it to come back quicker.
