p.s. Loved this:
Must mention, though, that Publius enjoyed firing El Gato's .45 and proving his range officer wrong from when he was in the army by nailing "Osama" in several vital organs. :)

Back in '73, as a first lieutenant at Fort Lewis, I was required to qualify on the M1911A1 .45-caliber pistol. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with the damn thing. The Range NCO had to lie and say I had qualified.
Fast forward 46 years. At the Memorial Shoot, I borrowed El Gato's .45 and hit the target like a pro. My shot group wasn't as tight as I would have liked, but Osama died just the same. Slowly.

He did good. I just wish I’d gotten a picture of the target. LOL! It only occurred to me afterward.
