Alternate title: why playing pistol games like IPSC can be dangerous for your self defense (note: I do not actually believe this).
I will say that we do have some crackin’ good times in the Gunblag IRC.
I can't shoot you without my timer

You know on the whole ‘Weaver vs. Isoceles’ thing, I tend to use the ‘weaver’, but that is a direct result of shooting heavy, hard recoiling guns. It’s the easiest way to manage their recoil for the frequently needed 2nd & 3rd shot.
As for the ‘tactical ted’ vs. the ‘gamesman’ argument, I simply try and kill things (as in live animals) with a handgun and if what I’m using doesn’t do the job because its caliber is a poor ‘stopper’, the round has a terrible flight trajectory, the gun is inaccurate, or Last But Not Least because I can’t shoot it worth a darn, then I better transition to something longer or something I can shoot better.
It was personal experiences that helped me sharpen my attitudes.
All The Best,
