gun-porn, nook style
that phrase cracks me up. of course it comes from john over at Argghh!, some flavor of crazy army dude with really really big guns to play with.
so here's my gun porn for the day. 25 yards, off-hand, rapid fire (less than 10 seconds for 6 shots) double action from my smith and wesson 686 6" .357. one hole, 1.310 inch group center to center. shooting this ammo. not bad for 50 year old eyes, after a pot of coffee and a cigar before heading to the range. of course, without that, i probably wouldn't even be able to hit the target. you just learn to shoot between the shakes!
like i said, i load target quality ammo. i probably would have brought that group down to under an inch in single action. the poor target i shot with the pistols in single action was too shredded to take any meaningful measurements off of.
life is good.
now i have to go clean the damned guns. bullseye powder may be the workhorse in pisol reloading, but it is dirty as hell. not really a problem though, because i clean my guns after shooting anyway.

Is that a real sized image of the island of Guam? Sure looks like it.
