Mas Ayoob

So when do you think you'll be back in NH?

Mr. Ayoob, I recently read on another forum about a traffic stop where the officer asked the driver if there were any firearms in the car. The driver responded, yes, two in my gun bag and one on my right hip. The officer then asked the driver to hand him/her the gun on his hip which happened to be a cocked and locked 1911. The poster thought it quit funny that the officer didn't know how to unload the gun and handed it back to him, and asked him to remove the round from the chamber. The officer didn't know you can't rack the slide with the safety on. This was handled wrong on so many levels in my mind. Both used poor judgement and it was done in an unsafe manner for both. The LEO asking him to hand the loaded gun ot the window to him/her was dangerous. Trying to unload it without being familiar with it was dangerous. Handing it back loaded was wrong. In my opinion this should have been handled very differently on both sides. You're thoughts.

Hi Mas, Hope all's well in your world. I just saw a post in G.A.T.E. where you said you usually use CLP type product (which I use too), but wondered if you have tried "Slide Glide", by Brian Enos? I have switched to using CLP for part of the cleaning process, but using Slide glide for lube; only takes a very small amount and unlike grease and oil stays on the moving parts and protects from grit. Here's a link in case you want to read about it. http://www.brianenos.com/ Best wishes, David

I am so glad that you were able to survive the helo mishap.

Mas,
Our mutual acquaintance Keith Jones sent me the link of you 4H excursion. I am glad you are OK!

Mas,
My name is Brent, and I don't mean to bother you i know your busy, but I just read the book Glock. It told a good story about you, and your girlfriend shooting IDPA in FL. I very briefly met you at a GSSf shoot near Atlanta a couple years ago. I didn't get to see you shoot, but saw that you placed high. I was wondering what model Glock, along with sights, and especially trigger pull you use when you shoot guardian? Thanks Mas

Evidently I do not have enough post to respond to Hankv's question posed to you about the 155 grain Gold Dot. That is my department's issue round for our G22s and G27s. I went to an ATK workshop a few years ago and was impressed. We switched from 180 grain Gold Dots shortly after the testing. Never had an issue with the round in our guns. My department is the South Sioux City NE PD. Thanks for your hard work Mas and take care.

Happy New Year, Mass.

ive been reading your stuff since 1988 or so....i forgot which gun magazines they were but i'll never forget the two pix of you, one you were drawing a stainless Bulldog 44spl bobbed hammer from the right front long coat pocket and the other you were in some police uniform (hat and all) with a Ruger p90DC? in the holster.....i was young and impressionable...you gave good tips then and still do to this day.

Mr. Ayoob:

I was 12 years old when I read "In the Gravest Extreme", this was back in the '80s. Since then I have followed your very impressive career. I hope to someday meet you. And I hope to someday take one of your courses.
