I have a slingshot and a bow&arrow. I'm kickin' it old school, yo.

Other than that, I have assorted railgun components waiting to be put together.

I just have a sling and a gamma ray gun.

Update: Finally got to go to the range tonight and give it a try. I only had 50 rounds on hand, so I was there for like 15 minutes and then left, but it was a lot of fun. Gun functioned really well. No misfires or failures to feed or eject properly. Heres one of the targets I shot tonight. It was at 25 feet, so considering I've shot handguns very little and this being a new handgun, its not too bad. The gun is accurate and reliable so far.

Were you doing slow controlled shots?

Your groups are fine but the gun is either dropping low and right, or you are left handed and your trigger control needs work.

It looks like you were focusing on the target rather than the front sight tip. The target should be blurry and you should be covering it with your clear front sight tip. Even if you are already doing this, concentrating on your front sight looks like it could take at least 1" off your groups. Past that it might be the ammunition, as those are fair groups for 25 feet.

Really? I was thinking his trigger is too stiff for him, but you might be right.

I've got about 78¢. Is that enough?

I am left handed. The 2 flyers in that shot were from me not paying attention. The rest were slow, controlled shots. I haven't shot much with a handgun. Been shooting rifles and shotguns most of my life, so I'm pretty good with those. But I love handguns so I decided I'd get one and get good with it. Thanks for the tips Spook. Next time I go I'll make sure to work on the stuff you said. Not having had much actual training with a handgun other then the basics on how to hold it, all I could do was apply some of the stuff I know from rifle shooting to it.

Life is beautiful.
