poppin' caps!!!

Post by jimpierce7 »

You know, that just doesn't look or sound very good at all does it? Hmm. Maybe I should stop it? lol

Had a good morning with my XD 9mm. I am not good yet, but I am getting better. Regardless, it is a lot of fun. Especially when the marksmen aren't there shooting. lol You know, the guys that every group is the size of a quarter, no matter what gun they shoot.


ready to go

not bad, upper left was first round. Center was second round. The other three I kind of shot at randomly just to see how I do.

This is the first round.

Woo hoo Jim. Popping caps sounds good. I love my Springfield Armory. I have the XD40. Dang fine pistol. I sold my subcompact XD9 to buy a Finn Dragoon, but eventually will get another. My remaining 9mm pistols are good shooters anyway so I am ok taking awhile. I like shooting 9mm very much.

Popped a cap in someone? Oh well, I just hope it wasn't anyone I liked.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Not bad. I spent a little time Sunday on the range with my Colt M1911A1 and Beretta M9 Commercial. Couldn't spend much time as I had to clean things up and clean up to have dinner with my parents-Sunday was their 51st wedding anniversary. Between the Colt and the Beretta, I'm much better with the GI sights on the Colt. With the military sights on the Beretta, I tend to hit low-need more practice.

Busting a Cap is slang for shooting a person, Busting Caps indicates recreational shooting (at least here in Bodymore, Murderland)
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
