Got my boots and my gun.

On Tuesday (1/9/01) my boots finally arrived. The boots I sent in to be replaced were supposed to get to frye on 10/2/00. I am very happy to have them.




On Wednesday my gun arrived. It has been a good week.

Of course, I went shooting the day I got it. It was much fun. Went with lx and Andrea. 50 rounds of .45 were fired through my Kimber 1911 Compact in black steel, and 100 to 150 rounds were fired through a glock 9mm that they rented. The target I'm proudest of was my last. 13 rounds fired at 20 yards, all but one were in a 6" group fairly well centered. I also dealt with my inability to handle firing a .45 rapidly. The last time I tried it - double-taps, I was very uncomfortably hesitant. I got over it. Emptied the magazine at a target at 5 yards as fast as I could. Hit the target. Felt excellent. You really aught to try it sometime. I'm still having a problem with closing my eyes before shooting sometimes though. I think I did it about 3 times that day.

lx was having some difficulty with accuracy. He seemed to be gripping the gun awfully hard. He eventually managed to relax, shot wonderfully, and had the revelation that not death gripping a gun improves accuracy (the harder you grip, the more you shake).

Monster's laying on my arm, purring :)
