At the range training a new shooter this morning I was asked to list my preferences on INGO for my personal CCW and EDC preferences. The INGO member (one of the few that took up my offer to meet at the range and demonstrate)was surprised I owned a few HC 9's with modifications that I do not use on my street guns. His eyes were opened on just why as we demonstrated the fails in the bay. Admitting that he had no idea as he has not been shooting long enough to see the problems with some accessories. Again, they may have a place in competition but you will not see any of these on my carry piece. Warning...this list may bring some disagreement as we are all free to have our own perceptions.
