the second most dangerous thing on a battlefield.................

IS A MAN WITH (2) GUNS! hahahahaha

watched "mr springfield" shoot XDM and full size ("loaded"-like alot) both in 9mm. check out SA website. they offer a full size stainless .45 frame in 9mm "loaded" with all the goodies also now.

shooting .45 matches is gonna be lots of fun but very very spendy.

shooting 9mm is gonna be lots more fun cuz ya know its cheaper from the git go.

you will be wayyy more accurate your first match with a 9mm due to less recoil. a .45 is a tough hombre to master when match shooting. match .45 aint for the faint of heart!

thats why we went with .22's first to get the drill down for my son, who like me is outstanding with a rifle but just "ok" with a pistol. what we have learned with .22 combat wombat matches will carry over to using 9mm or .45 in a match.

once you do a few sundays and blast a 1000 rds, you will see first hand how yer groups tighten up, yer more relaxed, you shoot instinctively, you use both eyes, and if like me.............i just place front sight on target and squeeze now because its a natural motion. no more bobbing weaving lining up 3-dot sights.

point and shoot becomes instinctive. yer double taps become smooth....................


and best of ALL! ya cant wait to go and do it again a month from now, and go home and look at all the goodies in brownells/midway that will make you a bonifide/certified/gun-nut/shootist!

and the other value added bonus...............ya get to clean it as if yer life(score) DEPENDED ON IT!

whatever you do...........DONT LET YER KID BEAT YOU! you will pay for your poor shooting the rest of yer life! slip the scorer $50 bucks if ya have to!
