    As my son always told me, I don't get it 'cause I'm a girl...But two guys grabbing their crotches, even as a joke, I just don't get...Any old excuse....Makes me long for the old days, you know, the days Bill Cosby was referring to in his, "Please do not touch certain areas of your body," skit.

    But, casting my auto-revulsion aside. What a hoot. I wonder if they are in the witness protection program now.

    I don't own a Luger, though I'd like to. In my experience, any pistol with a single action trigger (Luger/1911/Hi Power) is capable of very fast and accurate shooting. Or, at least it's easier to master a gun with such a trigger.

    Double Taps or "hammers" came from Retired Marine Colonel Jeff Cooper, under the reasoning that anyone needing to be shot, needs to be shot twice. You put a pair in their chest, then pause to see if they need another pair. With a 9mm the recoil is so low that it's pretty easy to get hammers down to .20 or .25 a second apart. Cooper went on to develop another technique that he got from a South African mercenary - the "Mozambique." A Mozambique is a double tap to the chest then an aimed shot to the forehead. 9mm ball ammo is not a great stopper, so these mercs would stun the guy with a pair to the torso then head shoot them.

    For me, it's just about the steel plates.
