And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

US Navy WAVES aim their Smith & Wesson revolvers for the camera.
That "finger on the trigger" was never a big deal until they started building plastic guns with the safety in the trigger. Look at old pictures of soldiers, cowboys etc. and in just about all of them the guy will have his finger in the trigger guard.
Maybe finger on trigger, but not hammer back. Actually this is safe, as you have ever pulled the trigger on old M&P revolver you really got to "pull the trigger".
All five are officers. WAVES stood for Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service. Their Coast Guard counterpart SPARs stood for the Coast Guard motto: Semper Paratus, Always Ready.
Interesting! Off-eye-closed sighting technique!? I do that too 'cuz of naturally mismatched focal lengths between my two eyes, but have of course noticed that it's strongly discouraged in current self-defense training. Whatever works... Cute bunch of gals! As always, thanks for posting your treasures! <3
I'll take the one on the left end there. She seems to be the only one enjoying this. On another note, the formation the women are taking looks pretty darn intimidating.
Yep. I found shooting weak hand (left) I switched to Left eye, automatically, and when went back to strong hand, stayed left eyed. Fascinating. Born left handed. Shot right handed. But with a hand gun, whatever. Long arm shooting left handed, forget that shit. unless I have to.
"ALL FINGERS ON TRIGGERS!"

DeleteIt's ok, those are revolvers they shoot double action. Not like those auto pistols that will blow your nuts clean off.
ReplyDeleteGood looking leather that they are wearing.
ReplyDeleteNo snowflakes there. A reminder of how far American society has fallen in the last 70 years.
ReplyDeleteDry fire practice really helps with double action proficiency.

ReplyDeleteYep five Ensigns! Only the officers got that style of WAVE cover. The enlisted ones had the " pudding bowl hat ".

ReplyDeleteJoin the Navy and ride the WAVES.
ReplyDeleteyes indeed!
DeleteStriking bunch there. No short, fat, ugly broads.

DeleteThe one standing in the center is cross-eye dominant, or left-handed but shooting with her right hand for the photo. She is aiming with her left eye.
