Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Glock and Staccato pistols for competitive shooting?

Michelle Viscusi explains that while Glocks are excellent, Staccato's 2011 platform acts like a 'cheat code' due to its superior trigger and reduced recoil, making high accuracy more accessible for shooters compared to the higher skill ceiling required for Glocks.

How long does it take to get used to red dot sights on a pistol?

Michelle Viscusi noted it took about a solid month of consistent training to overcome the initial instinct of searching for the red dot, after which she removed iron sights entirely from her competition guns.

What are common challenges for women carrying concealed firearms?

Women often face difficulties with concealed carry due to clothing styles. Specialized gear, like functional leggings with lowered belt loops, can help create a more natural and accessible draw stroke.

Why is training for real-world carry scenarios important?

It's crucial to train drawing and shooting from the positions and attire you'll actually use, such as from a purse or while seated with a seatbelt. These factors significantly slow down response times compared to open-range drills.
