and what's in the red box...


'89 p226 in 9mm CPO. Looks like it was a safe queen. Not for long...

Congratulations!

Edit:

That certainly is a purposeful-looking gun.

Be sure to post target pics. I'd be interested in seeing a comparison of offhand groups with benchrest groups.

Also get some ammo that is hard to feed, and see how it does.

It is really fun, Shaun. I just do paper targets. Hanging out at the range, chit-chatting with other shooters, punching paper and doing the zen thing - makes for a very pleasant afternoon. You can do it really cheap with a basic .22. Start out focused on gun safety training, there have been some threads here about it.

Todd, you are definitely going through a serious mid-life crisis.

Hmmmmm dunno, oppressed by his wife for years, now living alone, then 'downsized' (?) by his work...the stress mounting, and this new interest in handguns.

I think we need to start a pool on what date we'll be seeing Todd on the evening news...

Todd, let me know where you go shooting. I'll bring my 9mm, .357, .40 and 45 ACP. Maybe we can have a group shoot!

Thanks John, I'll look into it. I definitely need a refresher on gun safety and training. when we lived in MN, we'd go hunting quite a bit, I've got a little 410 and a very old Winchester 30-30... very cool gun! But that was ages ago.

Do you guys know what Sigmund Freud would say about your fascination with shooting guns?
