  Double Trouble      
             
       
  The X300 SureFire light easily attaches to the Double Defense, and
a Sparks side-saddle carrier is a good add-on.
     
                     
 

The handgun is a tool mostly of comfortable convenience rather than a tool of dynamic drop-dead effectiveness. The police use handguns to respond to the often-unexpected immediate threats usually generated at short range. For the military, a handgun in the hands of trained personnel may be used to stop personal threats regardless of whether the soldier, sailor, airman or Marine was stateside or overseas. The oddity here is the current establishment doesn’t trust a 20-year old soldier on base with a pistol at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, but the same government will let him call in a danger-close air strike in Afghanistan. But then what do I know?

The handgun can be used for home defense. The handgun might not drop the target in its tracks, and might fling a projectile through at lot more interior walls than the average person may imagine. The handgun also requires some degree of perishable skills. Perishable skills need to be practiced no matter what shooting technique and high capacity pistol or gun is being used. Most of all what you don’t want to do is shoot a hole in your house or one of your kids by accident.
