The areas between the groves are called lands. That is great and all, but what are lands? Have you ever noticed the spiral grooves going down the barrel of your gun?

One: If using the gun’s barrel to determine the caliber, we will use the inner opening( aka bore) of a gun’s barrel from land to land. Clear as mud? Okay, let us take a closer look at these two methods: It is typically determined by the dimensions of either the gun’s barrel or the bullet (not the cartridge). Just be ready for this.Ĭaliber: is basically the terminology used to label a specific model gun that uses a particular round. Now just like Neo did in the Matrix, take the red pill, or maybe he took the blue….I don’t remember which one it is.

So I have to ask, when you read that last statement, did you think about the caliber of the pistol or the ammunition you are using?Ĭaliber is the least understood topic that is essential to shooting.

When you think of shooting a pistol, you usually think about how to shoot a gun, your stance, or the different parts of your firearm.
