Well I will admit that I am far from an expert. Until six weeks ago I had never touched a handgun, and last fired a .22 rifle when I was a kid some 40 years ago. I've rented a couple of 9mm and a G23 and fired about 400 rounds to date. Just bought a Glock 22 gen 4 and this was my first try with it at 7 yards. Should have quit after this first shot Second one was the rest of the round.



I know I have some work to do:

I was shooting both 45 and 9mm at 15 yards. Was trying out a shot timer app on my cell phone. Practicing shooting against a clock and trying to concentrate on getting the good sight picture before firing. First two shots I always rush, then I settle down. Trying to fix that.

Used a 530 target (5 large oval spots on a huge sheet of paper). Even so, my first two spots had a bunch of shots that were lucky to be within 8 inches of center. Not inside an 8" diameter circle (like an IDPA zero ring), more like at the edge of a 16" diameter circle!

Fortunately, I have no pix, so I can still pretend it didn't happen...

I know I have some work to do:
The first one was the one that surprised you, so of course it went right where you were aiming!

Still a hard thing to get my head around: how do you perform a deliberate action involving a conscious decision and still surprise yourself?

Pretty sure this was it. Use it for my hunting load and decided to shoot a few rounds on my last unsuccessful hunt.

Glock 23 from your average 25 yards moderate 1 sec trigger pull

EDIT: 1911 was standing, Savage was off a bipod
I seriously love RIA 1911's. There is something about the craftsmanship and the look... Just gets me going when I look at them. I think they recently came out with a sub compact .45 in a 1911 schematic. Wish I could get it! Nice shooting!

Sigh... I do well to get groups like that at 25 FEET with 2-3 second between shots. Gives me something to aspire to! Thanks Big Red!
