Took a new employee out shooting this morning
Like myself, he is a former member of the US Marine pistol team (ten years before my time). Primarily a 1911 shooter, I let him try out my Ruger Super Redhawk (44Mag). He hadn't shot one of these in over 10 years he told me. At 75 feet, single arm, double action mode, all 6 rounds, within 10 seconds, in a circle the size of a silver dollar. Wow!!!
He's my new senior project manager and probably one of the most promising employees I've ever hired. |

Re: Took a new employee out shooting this morning
I have a guy that works for me that has been very helpful in coaching me up in pistol handling. He is former South African military and is very knowledgable in weapons and tactics. It is really helping to build my confidence in both using my weapons and carrying.

With the 44, I'm good at the distance, single arm, single action and can get groupings in 6 inches. We had a little competition with our 1911s, and I won placement+time, because his mag did not fall cleanly between reloads. We are equal with the 45s. Had him buy me an IHOP breakfast. :36_1_34: |

Thus my confusion: Why would you suggest that anyone fire a gun into the air? Quote:
This is not reasonable advice coming from a respected businessman who understands and engages in safe shooting practice. IMO, this type of Jekyll & Hyde, contradictory posting can greatly tarnish one's credibility. |

Just shoot a blank into the air. Same effect, same report, no projectile!
Yeesh, its not that hard people. I would post this over in the other thread but I don't want to clutter a useful thread... |

On GIM, if you are going to joke, you'd better use an emoticon that clearly spells it out, or people will take any ridiculous thing you say at face value. I'm pretty sure there's a high percentage of posters here that have Asperger's syndrome.... :ok: |

Nope....not with the muzzle flip. Roughly 1.6 seconds per shot to re-aquire the sights and target at a 25 yard distance and get everything within roughly a 2" circle.....not on your life or his. |

Pretending to say, one mississippi, two mississippi,,,, is not the most accurate time piece. He wouldn't shoot it again as he was grinning ear to ear as if to say "Impressive, eh?" :emotions16: Oh and BTW, 6*1.6 is 9.6, duh! |

You telling me his friend has Ed McGivern type skills? Skills that only a handful of men have ever had? Time for his friend to be contacting Ruger and getting on cable TeeVee if that's the case. Come on now...... By the way, I am pretty sure Ed shot .38's. .44 mag rounds are a totally different animal. |

1.665 seconds per shot is a bit more accurate since you want to split hairs. |

Not only that, but GB123 beat his friend in one of the competitions. That's an amazing collection of talent right there. 2 out of the perhaps 10 people in the world happen to work together and only practice their mad gun skills on weekends. |

This is similar to the story about muslims hiding in caves and flying planes into some buildings in N.Y.
