Victoria man sentenced to 10 years for guns and drugs

Victoria Buz is reporting that "A 28-year-old man was sentenced to a lengthy prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to a number of drug and gun charges related to a mid-level trafficking operation in Greater Victoria. On August 5th, BC Supreme Court Justice K. Wolfe sentenced Jesse Cameron Draves to 10 years. With credit for time served after he was arrested in May 2023, Draves will spend just under eight more years behind bars."

"Overall, police seized 470 grams of fentanyl, 2.16 kilograms of meth, 253 grams of cocaine, 15.4 liters of GHB, and 1.5 kilograms of MDMA. Police also recovered a loaded Desert Eagle handgun, a Colt M4 automatic rifle, a high-capacity magazine, thousands of rounds of ammunition and more than $7,000 in cash."

I saw the Supreme Court decision posted online and I was like WTF. A .50 cal desert eagle is a very nice gun but there is no way that guy could have handled it effectively. The assault rifle, sure but the .50 cal pistol, no way. Just say'n.

The Desert Eagle is supremely awesome but it also comes in .357 and .44 magnum. The .50 cal is just ridiculous. All power, no accuracy. You can get a Baby Eagle or a Jericho in 9 mm. Far more practical. It looks like the Desert Eagle only smaller. 

The Masada is very nice too. Very different from the Jericho. The Jericho is modeled after the CZ 75 while the Masada is modeled after the Glock. It has the Glock safety on the trigger. It's an affordable rough and ready combat pistol. If it's your first time firing a .50 cal dessert eagle, just put one round in the magazine. That way you won't put three in the ceiling. 

Notice Ash is not shooting from an isosceles. She gets it. 

It's worth noting that Ash has perfect form. Notice her finger is not on the trigger until she's ready to fire. Even though it's pointed down range. She doesn't put her finger on the trigger until she's actually ready to fire. That's important. 

She seems to put a lot of faith in the safety. At least she knows where it is. After she fires she tells the person filming the safety is on. I guess that's the difference between Canada and the US. In the US they're used to walking around with loaded firearms. We're not. When we finish shooting we take the magazine out and clear the chamber. We don't put the firearm down or hand it to someone else unless we've made sure it's unloaded. 

She's shooting from a strong base. That's a modified weaver like a fighting stance. You can't shoot a rifle from an isosceles and it's unwise to shoot a heavy caliber pistol from one either. 

However, it's not just about the legs. The recoil comes in two directions. Backwards and upwards. My range buddy has a Ruger Redhawk. It's a .44 magnum. The 629 is evenly balanced but the Redhawk is not. The Redhawk is noticeably top heavy. 

The reason they make it nose heavy on purpose is to reduce the upward recoil. If you look at the first video the .50 cal pistol went straight up and hit her in the head. Not funny. 

We've all heard the story about the cop who tried to shoot a .50 cal Desert Eagle with one hand. The upward recoil made the pistol point straight up. The backward recoil jerked his finger on the trigger which caused him to pull the trigger again by accident. After frying it once he put three in the ceiling. Very unsafe. The Redhawk is nose heavy to avoid that. 

Hickok45 did a review of the .50 cal Desert Eagle. Hickok45 can handle the .50 cal because he has a whole lot of experience. He previously did a review of the .44 Desert Eagle and people asked him to review the .50 cal. They said it's not a Desert Eagle unless it's a .50 cal. That is ridiculous. People who say that have no idea what the Desert eagle is or was.

The Desert eagle was an Israeli military side arm chambered in .357 and .44 magnum. Since it's such a large and heavy pistol, that reduces the recoil. Kind of like the Tommy gun. The Tommy gun is heavy but because it's heavy there's very little recoil coming from a .45. Same idea with the original Desert Eagle. 

As for Ash's flawless stance, I did see a video of a guy who claimed the IDF have a new combat stance. The guy was squatting down in a horse stance while in an isosceles. It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The IDF used to be better. Much better.
