What a rush.
I finally got to fire a real gun for the first time in my life and actually did pretty good. I shot a wide variety of pistols. .22 .32 .38 spcl .357 Magnum P91DC .40 Auto Ruger .40 auto S&W .45 Colt.
In about 2-3 hrs I went from barely hitting the target to slowly coming up the paper and even got a dead center bulls-eye with the colt .45... WOOHOO!!!
I went to a private lot in the boonies and shot at paper targets in a dirt field at about 50 ft and LOVED IT! I went with my wife, both her parents and her dads friend and his wife. we were there for around 5 hours.
Dad bought the .40 cal Ruger for mom, but she has oretty bad arthritis and couldnt handle the automatics because of the recoil, .......but was pulling off nice shots with her .357 mag revolver. She pulled 2 shots with the ruger and said she didnt like it at all and handed it back to me. After shooting about 150-200 rounds of .40 cal and countless other calibur rounds through about 15 guns of a few caliburs.....my wifes dad is talkin about GIVING me the Ruger. I am ecstatic. I live in a not so good area, only KINDA ghetto, there are far worse areas. But my house has been broken into twice in the 2 years Ive lived here and there have been shooting down the street and fights involving my family. He told my wife as soon as I take a safety class and can prove my competence with a weapon he is going to give it to me to protect my family.....I have a 3 yr old little girl that has already been hit in the face with a throw stick by one of the neighborhood kids, my wifes underage brother took care of that real fast.....the kid appologized a few days later.
I am going to stop here and go to bed. just thought I would say hi no that I have some sort of clue what this thread is all about.
Edit. I also disassembled the ruger and both the .40 cal S&Ws, cleaned them and reassembled them. I am lovin it. Dad said I cleaned up the P91 ruger nicely
