So I'm At The Pistol Range Saturday...

and I'm in the zone; some days your your motor memory takes over; once you are taught properly and have practiced a lot, your body knows how to shoot much better than your consciousness can direct.

So I'm drilling the black, shooting one of my .45's. The weird thing that happened was when I fired off my carry ammo at the end of the session- 3 8-round mags of 230 grain Remington Golden Sabers- I could see most of them flying downrange. This has never happened before. Granted they are big, shiny gold-colored and subsonic, but I havent ever repeatedly picked up a track of a flying bullet before. Im not a kid, and my vision isnt perfect.

This was SERIOUS feedback for practice. I was also using Shoot-N-See targets, so I was able to see the location of strikes when they happened.

Cool?

Hey, I'm from a blue state and voted for the blue president, and I own two pistols. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

CZ40P in .40S&W
Springfield Armory XD9 Subcompact (9mm)

EDIT: And I drive a pickup truck, and I keep the 9mm sitting next to my computer monitor.

I dont mean discrete bullet shaped objects, but just a golden blur, almost like tracer. I assume that this was because the rounds are subsonic (about 900fps, thats not fast for a bullet), large (~.45 inch) and reflective gold color.

Why? It's holstered and unloaded. It's not going to animate and start blowing holes in the walls. As it is right now, it's a $500 paperweight, not much more dangerous than your keyboard. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
