It shoots a lot better than that target indicates. I recently switched to it after 6 years with a Sig DAK and 12 years prior with a Beretta D platform. I was a hater for too long but finally caught up to the 80s. I can believe it. I had a G30(not SF) for quite a few years, and I liked it. But the grip was a bit big, so I finally let it go.

If I outshoot you in the morning can I have the 642? No, sorry. It'll still do at close range and it has a lot of sentimental value and character marks. Dang it!! I need one of those. It'd be a slim chance of you losing it anyway.

It ain't pretty, but here it is. The top two were standing at 20. Evidently I've developed a heeling problem. Box stock M&P .40. Safariland Level 3 holster in a duty rig.

I'm currently between primary concealed carry guns, so figured I'd try my "Montana style" concealment technique for this shoot. I utilize this carry method occasionally while wearing boots in town. A lot more comfortable than it looks. Handgun: Ruger Single Six 32 H&R 4 5/8" barrel 85 grain Hornady XTP @1100 fps Right about 5.5" center to center. This is the first time I've ever been timed with a single action. I noticed my form was a bit off when I was in a hurry, which translated into some wild grouping. This was fun, but I certainly need some work!

BTW, is that a Ben Stiller target? If so, I'd like to pick up a few dozen of those and get to work. That guy bugs the chit outta me.

Mr. Stevenson knows me so well, yet lives in MI. Weird...
Travis Weird? Well, that is one word used to describe me! I will also admit that bruinruin and I are friends. Starting to clear things up a bit? Oh, and one other thing, I'm in for this competition. I hope to get out shooting it this weekend. Mark

LOL, I don't believe it's Ben Stiller. Just some lucky guy that I missed, three times apparently. Why did I post that pic again?

Bleaudreaux is in the lead.
When you guys measure groups center-to-center, go outside to outside and then subtract bullet diameter. Not trying to be picky, but if it's neck and neck, we'll need those measurements.

PG,
Did you shoot that mofo from your boot?
That is some damn fine shooting with a single action under the time constraints. I might have to give the other contestants a big GFY just because you're stylin'.

That ain't no joke. Just when you think you're Johnny Tactical High Speed, some dude from Montana pulls a wheel gun in out of his boot and shows you how it's done.
And that's some fast shooting with a SA too.

Travis Thanks, I wouldn't be upset if it were center punching him in his juicy parts. But on that target the only place with any real contrast is the eyes so that's what I aimed for. It's just frustrating to see shots in the hair.

Why didn't you use a GD plate? I could have mailed you a plate. I shot that outside on number two at the 3. My conscience told me to start over but I decided to follow the rules. I'm pretty proud of that. Travis

I shot it before lunch.
To use a plate I'd of had to eat early. And then I'd be hungry too soon in the afternoon. Then I'd get grumpy and snippy at work. Then I'd start shouting. Then I'd have a headache from not eating for so long and from arguing with everybody and because I generally don't breathe enough when I shout. When my head starts hurting real bad I get nauseated. Then I'd have to close my eyes and take Excedrin before I drove home. Which would make me late getting home and I wouldn't get to see the kids before they got to bed. Which would make me resent ever shooting the stupid thing to begin with and I'd probably never participate in one of these again.
So I just grabbed a target off the stack and used it instead.

Well let me start this by saying I havent been shooting pistols much for very long .Now that the excuses are out of the way It wouldnt of been too bad if it wasnt for that second shot at 3 yds weak hand. This was shot cold I never even practiced weak hand. This is kinda fun. Smith 65-3 4" .357 158 semi wad cutter missouri bullet company. 3.3 grains of clays. Nice easy to shoot load. looks to be around 6 3/4" Ill do better next month.Shooting under the clock makes it a lot tougher. Would you beleive the two shots in the bull where from 20 yds.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....
