Fresh off the recall of  Giron and Morse the gun rights activists in CO are at it again.  This time they are going after Evie Hudak. Again.

This will be the second recall attempt on Hudak.

When you talk to a Glock fan, there will likely be a 1911 fan standing within earshot. The Glock pistol came onto the scene in the mid- to late 1980s. From that moment, the Tupperware gun was pitted against one of the most iconic pistols of all time, the 1911. Actually, the Glock was up against all guns and critically compared to every one of them.

A hit in a vital area will do far more damage than a miss with the latest and greatest bullet. We all need to realize the benefits of training and practice when considering ammunition choices.
