Crowing About Her On Her Birthday...

Lisa's target. 25 yards. These were done thusly: From the holster, to slide lock on a Glock-27. Her average time was 5.3 seconds to empty 9 rounds at that distance, with these results. This type of target can be somewhat confusing at 25 yards, for as you can see, the lower righthand one overlaps the left, and while aiming for the 10 ring on the left one can easily wind up in the 7 ring black on the right.

The 10 ring is 2 1/2" across, and the 7, 8, and 9's are 1".

They are 1/3 size human silhouettes, so I always try to reinforce to her that it is somewhat akin to hitting a man-sized object at 75 yards. Whatever, for my money this is damned fine shooting at that range. On a good day, Lisa can put 9 rounds in a 4" group, with slow and carefully aimed fire at 25 yards. From a 3 1/2" barrel, this is not too shabby.

Ammo was Winchester Ranger T, 180 grains.

Good shooting.

So, you work hard not to make her mad.

Created a monster, yes. As is the case with many women I have assisted in the training of, she takes it very serious, probably too serious, and doesn't have the fun we jerkwad men have in blasting the simple fuck out of inanimate objects.

[Place firearm related phallic symbol pun or joke here.]

I started to say “insert” rather than “place” but why do all the work myself.

Yeah. Now it'll take me three days to explain what you meant. Guns are guy stuff because we just like playing with things that make noise more than they do.
