Thug; Ventilated

50 rounds of .45 ACP ball at about seven yards:

I used the magnets to tack it to the refrigerator door to try and get some contrast with the target itself. Most of the shots were from practicing a Mozambique drill: Two shots as quickly as possible into the torso, followed by an aimed shot to the face. My second shots seem to hit lower and one would have given him a 230gr liposuction. A couple of the first shots would have smashed his gun hand and likely ended things that way.

One of the headshots was a clean miss (might have grazed him), the others would have put him down.

Thug is taking an old-style stance of looking over the sights, not really using them, and using his off-hand to protect his heart.

The cartridges were some Sellier & Bellot stuff that was in my ammo box. It had to be close to ten years old; I'm trying to make an effort to shoot out the older stuff that I have on hand, now that the Great Ammo Shortage seems to be easing.

  1. So you stuck it to the fridge after target practice, right?

    Sometimes what's left over in mine deserves to be blown away.

  2. I'm not terribly happy with it. My second shots are all over the target and it was taking me too damn long to line up for the first shot. And the weapon is still fairly new to me.

    I need to practice more, I think.

  3. Oh. Well, it's a darn sight better than I'd have done.
