Shooting

A dear friend of my wife's stopped by to visit this afternoon. She was coming to the area to visit family, and stopped to say hello. We had a great visit this afternoon and caught up, but she and her husband are gunnies, so we all did some shooting this afternoon, which was SOOPER fun.

Her husband was interested in getting an arched mainspring housing for his 3.5 inch kimber, so i let him shoot my springfield to see what it felt like. They also both shot my taurus .357 mag, and seemed to get a (pun intended) kick out of it. They also liked my wife's S&W model 60.

Mike had a S&W M&P shield, which he let me shoot. It is very accurate, and recoil is negligible, but the trigger pull was like trying to snap an inch thick branch off of an oak tree. Still better than the original M&P, though. I shot Mike's 3.5 inch kimber, and it was very nice as well, but the squared end of the mainspring housing bit into my palm with those. 45acp rounds. I can see a bruised palm if i were to shoot a hundred or so rounds through it. But Stacy's gun! She has a 3.5 inch Wilson Combat 1911 chambered for 9mm. Incredibly accurate. No recoil. A pleasure to shoot! I see why Wilsons come with the price tag. They're worth it.

It was a great hour in the back yard.
