Yeah, we used to shoot old thick Yellow Pages phone books and they will stop a .357 magnum round even shot from front to back.

Thinking of making a "Safe room" with photo albums and phone books instead of kevlar ....
Houston, Dallas, San Antonio .. ok

New Deal, Texas - total population 708.... don't try this with your phone book ...

Re: "No more Glocks"

When I first started shooting, I put my support "hand" above my gun holding hand and learned what the back of a slide can do when it moves backwards really fast ... it left a real impression on me (really, a real impression.and imprint) X-rays showed no bones broken, but I had a rear of the slide shaped scar ... it left a real impression on me ... but my point is


Some lessons are never forgotten, and him switching to something with an additional external safety ... well, I cringe every time I use a de-cocker hoping it doesn't fail

A Glock he has a very healthy respect for now ... might be handled more carefully in the future than some other theoretically "made safe" gun

I'm betting he actually learned/will learn something about finger control and the bangswitch there (and safety checks and the other rules) and doubt it will be forgotten...

The wife sounds like she had a good idea with requiring range time etc with you
