Makes shooting things like the .357 and .45 ACP simply pointing and
shooting. Makes shooting the 44 Mag a dream.

I do some point 'n shoot rapid fire drill with my Colt Officer's
compact .45ACP whenever I bring it to the range. It's a lot of fun. If
it's been awhile then it takes me a mag or two to get it back. Start
slow, maybe one round per second for first mag. Shot placement is
always job 1. By third mag I can shoot to slidelock in well under 3
seconds with all hits well within COM. Firm grip and stiff recoil
control are essential to rapid return-on-target, particularly so with
point 'n shoot where sights aren't used. Unlike slow-fire target
shooting, my stance is perpendicular to the direction of fire in a
forward-leaning crouch, my arms fully extended with elbows locked.
That may sound implausible, but it's how I was trained and it works
fer me.

I recently learned that the indoor range I frequent has a range rule
against rapid fire. Oy didn't know that! I received my training in
that technique at that range. I've been practicing it for a couple of
years and the rangemistress has never jiggled my chain about it. I
think Theresa pays attention to her range and she knows I don't shoot
out the lights, ding the ceiling or bust up the target hangers. I just
make a growing void in COM or face on my silhouette.

Snow's long gone, I'm now shooting outdoors until November. YAY! I do
have a gunsmoke luncheon on Monday, probably the last such meeting
until next fall.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
