How much accuracy should we expect from our firearms? Gun Talk Nation welcomes Paul Markle of Student of the Gun to explore the myths around firearm accuracy, overlooked Cold War firearms, and the mindset needed for concealed carry. 

From humorous real-world examples (like a police captain blaming Glock sights) to serious talk on preparedness and the importance of consistent training, this episode balances history, self-defense philosophy, and sharp commentary.
