    I strive to do better. :yesway:

    I only got three off, but they were all in the chest and would have fit inside a tennis ball.

    Watching the video I seemed to hesitate during my draw.:dunno:

    I only got one off...damn glocks!:):
    The PW shoot was the first time I shot my new glock and I was very happy with how it ran. during the pop up target I found out that it was the ammo..the primer had been hit but it didnt go off. I was using WWB ammo:dunno: I ran about 200 rounds through it after than and not a single problem. I think I shot a total of 350 rounds and only that one hiccup and I'll go ahead and blame it on the ammo. +1 for the glock 19:D

    It could have been the ammo. I've seen Winchester ammo with very hard primers fail in .357 revolvers and 9 mm semi autos. :dunno:

    ^^^^^

    What he said!!!!

    It especially seems to happen with revolvers when people erroneously think the way to do a trigger job on them is by filing down the strain screw. That gives you a lighter trigger but also leads to light strikes. Happened on my 686 when I bought it used - props to wlw who helped me figure out the issue and I eventually had S&W send me a new screw.

    Only time I have seen light strikes with a semi-auto was on a gun that looked like the owner never cleaned it..like EVER..the firing pin hole was was clogged.

    That pop out drill would be FUN and crazy with a .357 mag! I wish I would have had a holster for it...

    LOL, agreed.....I wish I could find a NON-thumb break leather paddle holster for mine that still has adequate retention. Then I would give it a go.

    At the last PW shoot we had a running man set up during the training...I ran it once with a .44mag. about broke my wrist from firing off the hip as soon as it cleared the holster:laugh:

    I'm glad I didn't bring the running man set up, we just didn't have room for it there.
    But next time it should be a new and improved running man!! :D

    If I had a cowboy style holster for mine I would of done it in a heartbeat. I also think the bowling pins would of been fun with the revolvers. I'm sure I could of done better then :)

    yeah my best was 3 as well, but they were all chest kill shots, either in lungs or heart areas. Time for a holster change for me, I really need to get one without that sweatshield.

    Thank you fpd9317 for making this event happen! :yesway: It looks like a great time was had by all :ingo:

    How about some eye protection people? :n00b:

    I'm not seeing it in many of these pics and am wondering why. We have people shooting pins on the ground, into a wood pile, steel etc. I would hate for someone to lose an eye / get hurt at an event that was set up on INGO.

    Hope to make it to the next one! :ingo:

    I have eye protection at all times. I didn't see too many people without it either, but you're right, there were some. But I will tell you this. There was a LOT of ricochet off the steel plates. I got pegged in the neck and the arm a couple times. We were lucky no one got caught in the eye, but it just goes to show that SOMEONE was looking out for us. ;)

    Yes, I know Kimmi and myself wore our eyes the ENTIRE time. I don't think I ever took them off.

    There was some wicked ricochet off of steel towards the end of the night. I don't know what they were shooting it with.
