Me getting awarded Pistolero x2 might get some of you off your butts.

What better way to celebrate the Fourth than by chooting things.
It's been longer than a year since I lost my front sight while preparing for the contest, but I finally got the P226 back in working order.
115 gr. JHP, 1300 fps.

Stage 1;
First attempt;
1.11 seconds.
(I'm amazed and abashed at how long it takes me to get off the first shot, especially from the contest's ready position.)

Stage 7;
Fourth attempt, and only five hits!! (I gotta put this gun over a sand bag, find out what's going on or what it's capable of. But all the misses grouped well just left off the paper. I put two pages together, making it 11x16.5". If I'd used the allowed torso target, all would have passed.

Stage 9;
Sixth attempt; (It only took me 1.5 attempts last time. But I kept missing just left enough to nick Jerry.)

This is fun, some of it a challenge.
I hope to soon be a three-time winner, and that with a revolver.
