for my birthday yesterday, we, Mrs. DAB and I, went to the pistol range. it was only the second time that she has ever shot a pistol, and she did great for a complete novice. fired about 100 rounds of 9mm at 5 yards, hit the target most of the time, even got one 10! :hurray:
after she had had enough fun for the day, i took up my new P320 in 40 cal to give it a shake down. worked great, no problems, more accurate than me. punished a new target at 7 yards with 2 magazines of ammo (28 rounds) rapid fire, only dropped one into the white. drat.

then changed over to my VP9 and ran the IDPA classifier course with my new timer, had Mrs. DAB record times. when i got all done, scored the targets, added up the times and got 141.27 seconds. if i can do that well again on a match day, that would put me at Sharp Shooter in CCP. :hurray:
tough choice which to carry. i like the extra power of 40, but the 9mm carries one more round. if i get a P320 in 9mm, then it would have 17+1..... :ohnoes:
got a few bucks for my birthday, will have to see if the budget will allow spending a little of my own $$ to get that.
