Why semi-auto pistol not favoured over revolver
-
D, Kitty,
You folks are very welcome. I don't know everything but I try to know as much as I can. Like I said, it's part of my job.
Kitty, I understand where some folks are coming from, especially those that are anti-gun. In Singapore, that is how we are brought up (yes, I am a Singaporean and proud to be one). We had little or no exposure to firearms, other than what we are taught in schools (air rifles, etc) and the military.
Only when I moved here eons ago that I got curios and sought to learn as much as I can. One thing lead to another, it ended becoming my business. It all bores down to not being ignorant about something you have no idea about.
I don't know of any other Singaporean stateside that's in the biz. Wish there we more of us. I wrote a short article about a year ago about how I think that with the proper training, we can run and gun with the very best of 'em. The Filipinos are now dominating the scene. They won first and second at the last Steel Challenge in California.

Well, can we request for SPF to help pave the way for more training in scenerio shoot by sponsoring our membership with the IPSC organisation?

Might also be a good time to ask.
Anyone has any lobang to shoot some rounds in Phuket Thailand?
If I remembered correctly, Thai Police Officers buys and carries their own weapons. So they have choices over what weapon they carries. -
Yah, I was wondering why a dept. will issue a variety of firearms for their cops. Saw traffic cops with glocks, berettas the works. But then again, are they subsidised by their dept.? If not...its gonna cost them an arm or leg for it right?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:If I remembered correctly, Thai Police Officers buys and carries their own weapons.

Here's an extra tidbit. I am not sure how true it is.
I was told, that PO in thailand, they catch you littering with your cigarette butt. They summon you and you can pay the fines on the spot to the PO. Think it was 100 baht/
That fine is a standard price, but the fine actually goes into that PO pocket instead of the National Coffers.
Its not corruption. Just likes tips to waiters that does a good job.
Does anyone else here knows? -

Since you are going to be in Phuket, the first week of December they are hosting the Thai IPSC Nationals (first weekend I think). You should show up and make some new contacts.
BTW, do you shoot IPSC in Singapore? If you do, then you can always ask the boys for some contact info too.
IPSC is not the right choice for realistic scenarios type shooting. You want IDPA; it's more realistic in terms of contact distances, use of cover, magazine capacity, etc. The first IDPA event in Singapore was hosted in May and the next one might be in December (not confirmed). I ran the match in May; had a lot of attendees from several units.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Well, can we request for SPF to help pave the way for more training in scenerio shoot by sponsoring our membership with the IPSC organisation?
I could be wrong but I think the range at CCK rents out pistol and sells ammo for those who want to participate in any of the events. Don't quote me on this though. -
Well yes, I agree that IDPA is much much more practical. But.....shooting is way too expensive in Singapore. And I have not shot for what 2 years since my last Road Accident. Its hard to drag around a leg that cannot bend at the knee.Originally posted by i-SHOT:IPSC is not the right choice for realistic scenarios type shooting.

Hmmm.....think its time I check with some shooters from Singapore that may be going up to Phuket for the Thai Competition. Easier to have friendly face there.
Thanks for the info.
LOL. They will only rent to those that needs it since they cannot bring in their own gun. For locals, they rather we dont participate until we joined the club. -
