Lucky Shots


Okay so I had 8 rounds left. Federal HST, .40 caliber. 180 grains. Chronographed @ 1005 fps from my Glock 27. We'd been shooting a while, and I realized I had one target that wasn't made holy yet, so I hooked it up and cranked it back to 25 yards. First shot was the one below the X, so I adjusted and of course went high and left. Now, that's an inch and a half. I can't shoot that small a group at that distance, and neither can a G-27 with a 3.5" barrel, so they were lucky shots, with all the stars aligned just so. Give a high-5 to the ammo because it was dead-on all day.

Thanks, Cookie. I'm average for my experience, and know that I'm not as fast as years back, or else I'd be carrying a mouse gun and just spraying tons of .32's hither and yon. The chances of getting in a gun fight in Gainesville Fl. are slim, but experience does funny things to people. Once something has happened before, a zillion times or so, there's a direct imprative to stay sharp.
