I now have proof that life isn't fair. OK, I already knew that but ... I was at the indoor range today and they were not very busy. I had pretty much finished up my practice with my Glock 19 and I was pretty pleased with my series of 2 inch to 3 1/2 inch groups at 7 yards. Especially since I have been striving to get the five round groups fired off much faster than I normally shoot. Not true fast as you can pull the trigger rapid fire but quite enough faster than normal that it attracted everyone's attention.
I looked down the firing line to watch this large 30ish guy blazing away at a man sized target on the 5 yard line. That target looked like it had been used to pattern multiple rounds of 00 buckshot at 60 yards. I couldn't imagine how the guy had a clue where he was hitting the target at this point. Since I had a spare 8 1/2 by 11 regulation pistol target, and since he had approached me earlier so I could explain that .45 ACP and .45 GAP ammo was not the same, I decided to offer him the extra target so he could get a clue where his current shots were going. He accepted and since I was now down at his lane, he wanted to proudly show me his arsenal.
I have never seen that many really nice expensive pistols and revolvers in the possession of one person. There were three Kimbers (a couple were pretty heavily customized), an H & K which he said he had not even had time to shoot yet and three revolvers all equipped with night sights and custom grips. When he started telling me what he had at home ... well I only believed him because of what I could see he had brought to the range. He was CCW too. He was rightfully proud of the "sweet shooting" pistols he had. And of the custom trigger work he had a gunsmith do for him to make them shoot even better.
I finally had to move away before I started drowning in my own drool. After I stepped away he again began to shoot. I watched his next ten measured shots at the new target I had given him.
Five yards to the target. Ten rounds. 8 1/2 by 11 inch target. Four of the ten rounds hit some where on the target, two of his shots actually hit some where in the black ... who knows where the other six rounds went.
And I left wondering about how he even qualified for his CCW. I'd love to be able to afford any one of his fine weapons. He seemingly doesn't have any real use for them.
