Arms Trade Treaty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the largest sources of civil opposition to the ATT has come from the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA), which is the lobbying arm of the NRA. In July 2012 ILA stated that:
"Anti-gun treaty proponents continue to mislead the public, claiming the treaty would have no impact on American gun owners. That's a bald-faced lie. For example, the most recent draft treaty includes export/import controls that would require officials in an importing country to collect information on the 'end user' of a firearm, keep the information for 20 years, and provide the information to the country from which the gun was exported. In other words, if you bought a Beretta shotgun, you would be an 'end user' and the U.S. government would have to keep a record of you and notify the Italian government about your purchase. That is gun registration. If the U.S. refuses to implement this data collection on law-abiding American gun owners, other nations might be required to ban the export of firearms to the U.S."[31]

Well...my nephew can place 8 shots of 45 within a 1" group ON THE BULLSEYE at 40'....shooting my RIA 1911 Tac...1 handed.
Now I know the problem is not with the gun but with the owner.
He said he's even more accurate with a Sig P220."Only Nixon can go to China." -- Old Vulcan proverb.

I think that even tiny guns are far more accurate than the fallible human holding it. Some guys are just unnaturally good at shooting. For example, Jerry Miculek pulled off a 200 yard shot with a snub nose S&W J-Frame while holding it upside down and pulling the trigger with his pinky.

Of course the guy shoots every day for a living, but it is still a good illustration of what is possible if you have the natural ability for it. I used to think I was a pretty good shooter, but after going to a few competitions I am firmly in the middle of the pack. Some of the guys out there are like machines.

I certainly agree with that. Most guns are more accurate than most shooters out there. Also, some people are just more accurate with a certain model of gun over another one.
I cannot shoot that 1911. I am much better with a P220 firing the same round.
In fact, I am much more accurate using classic Sigs than any other type of gun out there, outside of 357 mag revolvers in a medium to large frame."Only Nixon can go to China." -- Old Vulcan proverb.

There are a ton of really good handguns out there that all go bang when you need them to and not before. But so often people get into a tizzy about hammers vs strikers, safeties vs decockers, and polymer vs steel, before they ever bother to find out if the gun even fits their hands!
My buddy got a Glock and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Until I shot it. It functioned perfectly, had impressive technical stats, but felt uncomfortable and awkward in my hands.
I ended up getting a CZ-75D instead, and it is great! It is a little heavier, has one less shot, but fits my particular hands like a glove. I can quickly bring it up and point without ever looking at the sights and put the first round within an inch of where I want it.
Some enterprising entrepreneur needs to create a way to quickly test a wide range of handguns to see which ones you find to be the most comfortable holding and the most accurate at pointing.

Here are my results with some of the guns I have:
1911 - poor
P220 - average
Glock 36 - average
Sig P226 - good
Sig P228 - average
Sig P225 - average
Sig P2009 - average
Glock 19 - average
Walther P38 - average
Beretta 84BB - good
Sig P230 - poor
The Beretta 84BB is probably the softest shooting auto ever. The same 380ACP round from a Sig P230 is rather harsh and uncomfortable. If only 380ACP ammo were cheaper...."Only Nixon can go to China." -- Old Vulcan proverb.

The 1911, shoots very instinctively for me. The strong thumb resting on an extended safety, the week thumb also pointed down range, below the strong thumb, especially with an arched or even better the old Ed Brown Wedge main spring housing. The damn thing is almost an extension of my pointing finger.
I also like the Sigs, but if one transitions the high thumb style of the 1911 to the Sig, the slide will close on an empty magazine due the slide release location on the Sig Sauer.

It is jumpier than other 9mms I've shot, but trying to control the recoil for fast double taps has helped me go from a Tofu grip to a Kung Fu grip. :)
PS - my brother, who has never shot any gun before, was putting together good groupings exactly where he aimed within 50 rounds. The biggest problem with new shooters, in my experience, is that they jerk the trigger and pull down on the gun, but this gun's trigger was so smooth and the break so crisp he had no problem with that what so ever.
I've now swapped out the stock sights with Trijicon HDs and equipped it with rail mounted light, which helps actually control the recoil.Last edited by citanon; 14 Nov 14,, 05:19.

Do I want more? Sure. But nothing really gnaws at my interest at night when the light's out and I'm counting guns before drifting off to sleep.
I'd rather stockpile more ammo and shoot the heck out of my Sigs to get semi-decent at them."Only Nixon can go to China." -- Old Vulcan proverb.
