That was best practice for a time, but almost 100 years ago. Then they taught cupping the mag (basically). That lasted a couple decades. Then they moved on to supporting the grip with both hands. Would need to look up to see how the evolution in stance between weaver and isosceles progressed. If she’s supposed to have been taught by people who were in WWII she’s perfect.

One of my favourite aspects of the Sopranos is, that lots of the deaths were really unexpected. You rarely saw them coming. The killings happened because the killers were driven by their emotions. The scenes where Cristopher kills his friend, and when Tony kills Ralph is very similar to this. None of those were planned, the characters just acted as they FELT, and many times it wasn't benefitial for them. No calculation, just letting your rage or disappointment take control over your body.

I would never hold a gun let alone murder another person but vicariously thru Janice I first time experiencing this scene I instantly recalled the trauma of the domestic violence I endured as a child. I was 11 when what was supposed to be my stepfather, a druggie alcoholic POS tried to rape me (he was able to alot easier when I was much younger giving me spiked "kool-aid" to render me unconscious while the disgusting woman who claimed to be my mother would take her son and other daughter to the beach or the mall. Yeah, she just looked @ me while she was putting on her mascara and said "oh " when I told her immediately what her husband tried to do to me, vile human that woman. Anyway as I got older, the community I lived in looked out for me and that pig woman was warned that if the locals in town saw that pos man driving to buy candy and junkfood, then to the back country alone with just me in his car with him- they would call the cops ( early 80s) we kids were just beginning to be empowered about abuse and understanding we had rights) anyway so as an adolescent, what I can only imagine was his frustration because he was not be able to sexually abuse me like he was able to when I was a younger child, well one day he slapped my face violently as we both attempted to open the refrigerator door *when there was actually decent food and not just beer and government cheese blocks lol my point being it was gratifying for me personally when Janice shot Richie bc of my horrible experience. However nobody has ever struck me since, I was and continue to remain extremely hypersensitive when it comes to bad aura and evil energies. It's only a TV series but when that happened I was able to shake off the hurt and pain a little bit more, sounds odd maybe to some people but that's how I honestly reacted.
