well the first target was the man-shaped one and while i had a few near the heart region, i had what xshub called “a nice little pattern going” in the crotch area! LOL!! i figure that would probably do the trick on an intruder, but i do have to figure out how to bring the gun up somehow. i can’t quite figure out which eye to look out of and can’t seem to keep them both open at the same time! the second target was the smaller bulls-eye one and i got a few on there amazingly enough. my true forte was loading the bullets in the magazine though. xshub was struggling with it and taking forever, so once he showed me how to do it, i was able to load it much more quickly and efficiently. i think i need to take a class though. he doesn’t know enough, as a neophyte himself, to teach me, i had cuts on my thumb from the gun, which he said shouldn’t happen.

My one gun came with a neat little tool for loading the magazines. It pushes the spring down, so you can load them more easily than trying to push down and in at the same time.

Yes, you need to hold the gun lower so that the slide doesn’t break your thumb. When my wife used to work for a bone doctor, she saw a few of those, especially right after New Year’s, when drunk neophytes shot guns at midnight.
