How do you tell the controls of your plane from the controls of a car?sawdust wrote:So, I ask those of you with the multiple pistols and their differing designs, "How do/would you truly counter those effects?"
Every pistol feels a little different in the hand. Weight, balance, grips and ergonomics, even the material of the frame and grips may be different. After a while, the brain associates "this feel" with "this manual of arms."
Hand me my Sig P250, with my eyes shut, and I'll know it. I'll know instinctively - no external safety, DAO, mag feels full/not full/empty, etc. Mag release here, unload and clear. New mag, load and seat. Again, hand me the Colt Commander, with my eyes shut, and I'll instinctively feel for the safety. My hands react along with the brain.... 1911, so mag release here... unload and clear. New mag, load and seat. I can tell them apart without thinking, but I'm familiar with both, and they feel different.
I can drive a car, auto or manual (I prefer a 5-speed truck!) but don't ask me to fly a plane!
