midway usa commercial on best defense 1000 point scale

[azshooter270]

I've seen a number of those Midway bits.  One thing is it is based on how fast Larry can get off first shot, and how fast Larry can effect follow-up shots.  Pretty subjective.  I'm sure he's an accomplished shooter, but even attempt-to-attempt variation would be significant on this scale.  Lastly, there is no metric for concealability.  So full size guns with heavy cartridges come out well.  There MUST be a metric for concealability in my mind.  The peashooter in your pocket is better than the full size _____ at home because you don't want to drag it along...

The metric for concealability is that he has it when he shoots his test. If you read some of the earlier posts you will find a break down of the metrics he uses , and frankly his numbers don't apply to any one but him, most of the criteria are very subjective and will vary from person to person based on experience, training and personal comfort. For them to have any value you would have to do the same tests yourself.

Fortunately, we all know that no one would ever take something like that from a commercial and then repeat it at the gun shop or range as if it were the gospel according to John Browning.

I'd say thanks, but I'm too depressed looking at the number of Glock's on the list 

I feel the need to drop Mr. Potterfield a note about picking up a good old 1911.

By the way, drop over to the new member into thread at the cafe!

I see it took a new member to find the rating system for us. Hmmmmm maybe we should give him a prize.

Nah, the amount of cash this crowd drops at MidwayUSA we would have stumbled across it sooner or later.  After all, all his finding it shows is that he isn't spending enough over there.

Besides, it shows too much praise for tupperware to be rewarded

And Midway has not put the Glock 21SF on there yet, M58.  Just kidding.
