Took the oldest Son shooting today

My oldest son (37) came down for a visit this weekend. He just got his CCW Permit and is tossing around ideas for what he will buy to carry, so I pulled out a few from the safe to let him try out and practice with. They needed the cobwebs chased out anyway.

He fired my PPK (stainless .380 - my carry pistol), my old S&W .38 Special (5" barrel), the Beretta 92FS 9mm and my old Colt 1911A1. Just informal shooting. Of these, he did exceptionally well with all, but his favorites were the 9mm and the .45. I reminded him that the .45 is his when I kick the bucket, but he really likes the Beretta. I guess he gets both.

I am proud of both of my sons, and this kid is a real pistol shot. I had him set up an old syrup bottle on the berm about 30 feet away and I don't think he missed it hardly at all. I cranked off a few rounds out of the .38, but I had a blast just watching him shoot! Heck - he shoots the Walther much better than I do.

This was a very positive experience - just thought I'd share it.

I try to go to the range twice a week and practice a lot with all my handguns and pistols. My wife seldom joins me but when she does every 2 or 3 years I am amazed at how well she shoots. I would venture to say that she is a better shot than me. That is the one time that I don't shoot my handguns because I don't want her to think that all the time I spend in the range is a waste of time. On that occasion I take my 30-06 because she won't fire it.

Know the feeling well; my wife goes every 2 or 3 months, often with similar results as your wife. But it's all good.
