If you are looking for the least possible recoil and muzzle rise without adding a flame-throwing compensator, this is the ticket. If you have been carrying a full-sized 1911 for decades and want to switch to a 9mm with more rounds on tap, the EDC X9L is a great option. It\u2019s pretty hard to beat because it\u2019s extremely ergonomic, accurate and reliable. What more could you want?

While this is an incredible pistol, it might not be for everyone. Even police departments and tactical teams are widely adopting pistols with barrels in the 4-inch range these days. You\u2019re also not going to get a big boost in the terminal ballistics department by adding another inch to the barrel. But you do get a longer sight radius and muzzle-dampening weight\u2014two big advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Longer barrels are largely becoming the purview of competitors and those who have carried them for years.

Missouri Concealed Carrier Has Speed of Draw<\/h3>\nWe spend a lot of time discussing speed of draw. We do this because it is an important factor in self defense. According to the Tueller Drill<\/a>, a shooter needs to be able to draw and fire two shots in 1.5 seconds against a suspect with a knife at 21 feet. Concealed carriers need to be able to do this from under a cover garment.\n\nIn this situation, the suspect already had a gun in hand. So, the would-be victim had to draw and fire while staring down a muzzle. This is an important fact that every concealed carrier must understand. Armed robbers typically try to gain an advantage over their victims by having the gun out and ready. However, many believe that having the gun is enough. And with most victims, they are correct. Even those willing to fight back need to stay aware<\/a> to obtain those one or two seconds that can make all the difference in a situation.","post_title":"Missouri Concealed Carrier Hits Would-Be Robber With 3 Shots","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"missouri-concealed-carrier-shoots-robber","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:38:08","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:38:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/04\/22\/missouri-concealed-carrier-shoots-robber\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":130},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};
