I'll take this a little further. Instructors and Red Shirts trying to teach somebody with limited hand strength the high thumbs or thumbs forward grip. I know the IPSC and IDPA fiends will go ballistic, but for some a thumbs down crush grip is the only way for people with small hands and weak wrists to have any chance of controlling a pistol. Also, with the thumbs forwards grip there is often nowhere to put them on a smaller gun, or something with a minimal dustcover. Now what?
I also see people shooting rifles with the thumb laid along beside the rifle instead of over the grip.......I want to buy them a CONE HAT.
This thread has gone from "trends" to words and phrases that are faddish, worn out, make little sense, and show a distinct deterioration in the simple communication processes of speaking and writing. They often reflect poorly on the user but many users aren't aware or don't care. There's nothing wrong with improvement but it likely won't happen.
What is a "Red Shirt"?
Anything square in shape, made of polymer and has lights/red dots and suppressors attached
I wondered about that too...maybe a villain?
Range Safety Officers often wear red shirts for visibility . . .
They are the people on Star trek the Original series that die and are wearing red shirts when they do. Usually security guards.
Thank you for the explanation. I've never seen this on a range, whether it was a police range, public range, or private gun club.
They were referenced in post 266.
I saw a meme with Scotty saying, "You don't think Scotsmen are tough? I'm the only guy wearing a red shirt who's still alive!"
Back in the late 90's he did a tv commercial for the battery company I worked for at the time. A former friend of mine got to meet him but I didn't.
There’s a place called “The Clip Joint”. They sell more vintage magazines than anyone. Clip to me is just slang for magazine. No different than a 100 other phrases.
