I love Magpul products, but sometimes I just have to laugh at their use of the language. "Dynamic" Handgun?" When did a handgun stop being a tool and start acquiring dynamism?
One of my favorite "guitar player" stories involves Chet Atkins. He was in the "green room" for a popular TV show, waiting to be called on stage, and he was doodling around with his guitar. Another guest in the room commented, "That's a nice sounding guitar." Chet Atkins put it down and said, "Now how does it sound?" The point? It's the player, not the guitar. Chet Atkins would have made
any guitar sound nice. The guitar has potential to produce tone, and that potential is increased or diminished according to the quality of its materials and manufacture, but it can produce NO tone until a human hand makes it do so. A gun is the same way. A certain design or model may be more or less accurate than other designs or models, or have greater or less capacity than other models, or bigger or smaller caliber than other models; but until it is picked up by a human hand, it can do nothing on its own.
Handguns are not dynamic. Their
users may or may not be. The gun is just a gun. Love it or hate it, it can't "do" anything without requiring a user to dynamically pick it up and use it.
How dynamically it is used is merely a matter of degree, according to the user's capabilities. That video should have been given a more specific title....."The Art of Dynamic Entry with a Handgun".......or something like that.
