    Fabulous!!!

    I have my silhouette target from my 1st CCW class. I have it framed.
    You must tell us how it shoots, how the sights are. My .380 shoots a little low so I have to compensate for it.

    Well the big news is I get to pick it up TOMORROW!!! Yippeee!!!

    DH and I will go shooting some time in the next couple of weeks. We are super busy with a car show for our car club coming up next weekend, so it kinda puts a crimp in our time!!

    I love the idea of framing the target!! :-)

    I did pick up my wonderful little Sig last Friday evening, and shot a few rounds with DH on the indoor range. It felt very good in my hand, and I felt very much in control of it. I am so pleased!

    I am so glad it feels right to you, that means so much with a hand gum. Happy dancing for you!

    My hubby bought a new shotgun for himself, then tried to tell me he was going to paint it pink & call it my Mother's Day present - not!!! He hunts elk, deer, moose, etc & keeps us supplied in meat - never have to buy beef.
    I have a gun in the house to protect us from critters - like mountain lions & bears that also live in the woods where we are. Thankfully, I've never had to use it, but did chase away a bear from the yard once. Plus, its just plain fun to target practice now & then.

    That's cool...Hubby has a 44 Glock I think its called, when I went to get my License to be a armed security guard. Thats what I used to learn how to shoot..And I did quite well the instuctor said...And then I got a job as security officer and ended up quiting after 6 months, was the most boring job any one could have....LOL But I learned how to shoot a gun!

    Funny thing is I was aiming for the middle of the target's head and I kept hitting him in the nose...LMBO...
