One for Feek!

This vids are a bit old, but this is me shooting a Sig Sauer P220. Ok so it's a semi and not a "proper" handgun but thought I'd share anyway!

The first vids were a bit of a "warm up" so to speak hence why they're not pushed out far (prob 15-20m). The last vid is pushed out at a decent distance. I prefer shooting revolvers for accuracy, however I like going for grouping and I have to say I do love semis.

I miss shooting - I used to shoot for a team and used to practice all the time - I was always an "instinctive" shooter rather than anything else - hence why I was better at grouping I guess? I did have another vid of me trying to do a "smiley face" but I can't find it

I'm no Marting Riggs (Leathal Weapon) though

1st warm up:

2nd warm up:

Final vid:

Here's a still:

edit: Crikey I've just realised how skinny I was!!

I much prefer revolver shooting as well, more than six rounds and I get confused! Speaking of which, you weren't counting your shots, I heard clicks on the videos where you were empty

I don't know the gun but doesn't the slide lock back on it when it's empty?

You should try Practical Pistol, much more fun that static (or semi static) target shooting - Shame we can't do it with the real thing any more.

Nice vids Will

The barrel should slide back normally and lock, but they didn't for some reason in that instance - but yes you're right I should have counted

I'd love to get back into my shooting. I never needed a licence before as I did it through the ATC and all the clubs other than the bases we went to let us shoot as long as we had it in our log books.

Yes I've seen vids of practical pistol looks really fun. That's one of the reasons I love going to the states, I can get my fix. I remember going to the nevada desert and spending no less than 4hrs shooting AK47s, MP5s, M16s, M240 SAW etc... just ridiculous. a guy there brought his barret .50cal in, that was a cannon!

I've always been more of a rifle man, but I do like the compact nature of a semi.

Well a semi's much smaller than a rifle and I said that rifles are my "thang"

Hmm... those videos look strangely familiar

The guy behind the camera is clearly an expert.

I heard he was a **** personally... but it's understandable.

I kinda miss shooting...nothing more satisfying than getting a group of 3 in the same hole.

Feek · 17-08-2008, 18:02

I got two through the same hole (fnarr) during a match a couple of years ago in Gloucester. The problem was that there was only one hole on the target so instead of getting two 'A's I ended up with an A and a miss. I wasn't happy.

do they not use a backing sheet with pistol? I had a coupla contestings till they checked with the backer.
