I hear ya. We quit going to one range because it turned into a cop shop. Although its pretty amusing to see the cops gathering around Mr. GG2 after he shoots trying to guess what agency he's with. They all think he's an operator. 😆

I hear ya. We quit going to one range because it turned into a cop shop. Although its pretty amusing to see the cops gathering around Mr. GG2 after he shoots trying to guess what agency he's with. They all think he's an operator.

I hit a retired officers course at a nearby sheriff's department for annual requalification, required to keep my across-state-lines carry card. 60 rounds, farthest target was at 15 feet. So wanting a little bit of a challenge, I shot it left handed, with a 2" barrelled revolver.

First six, plus a reload of six more, at three feet: I threw my handcuffs into the face of the silhouette target with my right hand, drew and fired six into the target's face [just above the mouth; just below the nose] reloaded, put 3 into the left eyesocket and the last three into the right, then waited for all the folks with 14 vand 17-shot 9mms to catch up.

After they started scoring the targets, I retrieved my cuffs, and a range officer came over to ask me if my gun *had gone full-automatic.*

I told him I'd check and see on the 7-yard target. I got the first six off in a little over a second, the reload just a bit faster. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't comprehend it.

We shot the last stage at 15 with similar results, the last one wasa a return to three feet, full magazine dump, which I translated as 6 shots, plus two speedloaders worth of reloads. Pretty much the same result, except that instead of pitching my cuffs into Mr. Target's face, I pulled my knife and made a two-hand collarbone chop about a foot deep.

And what was your job in the Bureau? I was asked while we changed out the targets. Told 'em I was responsible for retrieving the overdue law books from the Federal Court Library....
