a quiet corner on the info superhighway for the rantings and ruminations of a geezer bemused by modern society. political correctness is left at the curb. "An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. Robert A. Heinlein "

last time i qualified with a .45, it was an out-of-the-pile army colt 1911, standard-issue ball ammo.
after 50-round sight-in and familiarization, i shot a combat grip style rapid fire 5 shot group at 20 feet.
result: 1 3/4" dead center
but the frosting on the cake was when the usmc gunny sgt challenged us to a shootout, 50 rounds.
i beat him by five bullseyes.
go navy.
