I would think whatever suits you is just fine. And caliber doesn't matter a rat if you can hit what you're aiming at; that's what good training, knowledge and practice will do for you.
P.S. - Call it your "support hand," not your "weak hand." We learn to shoot with both hands, there is no "weakness." ;^)
SECOND, I think Police Chiefs are generally horses-petuties based on the fact that most of them are kiss-butt politicians and most of them only want cops to have guns while defenseless civilians remain unable to defend themselves from armed assailants, to wit:
"The Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police opposed the bill, saying that more guns would mean more incidences of gun-related injuries. Craig Birdwhistell, executive director of the association, said so far that hasn't happened."
Birdshistell said, ''No, we haven't experienced the problems that some of our chiefs of police have anticipated,'' but said despite the statistics, the Kentucky police chief's association is still against an armed populous.
Must be a card-carrying ACLU liberal type. Once again, he doesn't want the fact that armed civilians are perfectly harmless to society to interfere with his preconceived "feelings" that it is unsafe. Typical liberal idiot. How much longer are we going to have to put up with POS Police Chiefs like this brain-dead Nazi. (And no, I did not use the word Nazi casualty. Don't forget the Nazi's held the exact same point of view disarming people as this imbicile Police Chief.)
To be logically consistant, he should call for the disarming of all police as well.
This "weapons for the shoguns and samurais only" attitude makes me crazy.
Go figure.
Where are THESE Demon-Rats when the assualts on our 2 amend are initiated by their own.
Travis,you're not seeing the issue from their perspective. Weapons in the hands of peasants foment rebellion,and make difficult the collection of taxes(close sarcasm tags)
He's a former police chief and yet he's the Executive Director? Does this mean he doesn't own a gun anymore or does he carry illegally and it protected by his police chief friends?
Is there anyone living in Kentucky that can find out more about this person and see if he isn't a hypocrite like I think he is? Did he apply for a permit?
Some Dems here in KY are genuine DINO's - Democrat in name only. In certain areas, they must run as a Dem to get the "yellow dog" vote. It's the only way they have a chance to win. I know a couple of people who are registered Dems, just so they can be more active and vote in the primaries.
Although quite liberal on many issues, Governor Paul Patton who signed the CCW law, is a Dem. Strange world, here in KY.
Just enough, bro.
Sounds like you got all the bases covered.
Speaking of shooting with your weak (support) hand only - I have just started training this way. At first, it's harder than it sounds. I suggest everyone with a CCW do this. It may very well save your life, since your strong arm may be disabled, too busy holding back a crazed perp or some other unforeseen scenario.
Did he finish him off?
Hmmm......so far? Well that sounds like he still expects it to.
BTW thanks for the flag
Yea; I'm beginning to understand your statement unlike I ever could prior to moving to Newburgh, Indiana...right on the Ohio River & a stone's throw from Henderson, KY.
What part of KY you living in, 'cat?
I only ask because politics aside, a prettier place than KY would be very difficult to find.
