Been coming here daily. No action. Did take the R9 to the range Monday and had a good time. With age I’ve developed bad eyes, slight double vision and a fine hand tremor...upshot being I don’t do bullseyes well. Having read Rex Applegate’s “Bullseyes Don’t Shoot Back”, and basically going to the range only to stay familiar with my CCW pistols, have decided to concentrate on point and shoot method. I would place the R9 on the counter (indoor range), snatch/grab/point/shoot. At 5 yards pistol was held about neck height. At 7 yards more like chin height, rigid forearm, tight grip with elbows near the body. Using a “perp” target, ie: image of a bad guy holding a gun, was doing double taps to the chest plus one to the head firing as fast as I could control the weapon. The central mass shots were always right on target. The head shots generally so, but a little to the left unless I paused for a one beat count to make that shot. I will never do bulls eye again except to sight in a new handgun or new sights from a rest.
Also shot my Smith M&P 340 .357, but using only 38s. I’ve never liked short barrel revolvers. At 7 and 10 yards could predictably put two quick shots center mass but simply could not predictably make a good head shot. I don’t carry that gun anyway, so no matter.
Loving being in Florida. Went to dinner at the club last night...no masks, no distancing, busy like in the old days! Gov. DeSantis rocks! Hope he runs in 2024 against Kamala.
