[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 2919489, member: 684"] Shadowrider is spot on, but in IPSC and USPSA the targets don't shoot back. I'm not sure about the colonel. I mean, I know he is the 1911 "guru" and with a great deal of respect to the man (God rest his soul) I don't know a lot about his shooting career as a civilian. Does anybody? :ugh2: Sure, he knew a 1911 inside and out and he knew proper presentation and how to do this and do that, but other than his time in the military, how many armed encounters was he really involved in? :anyone: However, I [B][U]DO[/U][/B] know what Paul Abel has endured as Pottawattomie County sheriff and the armed encounters he has faced during that time. Some of his stories may be a little embellished, I don't know, but the man has been there and done that. Call me crazy, but I feel like I could learn more from a guy who has been involved in actual shootings and lived to learn from his mistakes as well as his accomplishments and still lived to teach others the art of modern day gun fighting. Again...not to disrespect colonel Cooper, but I think all of his armed encounters were under the color of war during his career in the Marine Corps and not in a civilian environment. And please...if I am wrong about this, somebody please show me where. The bottom line is this. Like rule number 7 says...In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived. [/QUOTE]
