6:05 mile? That's pretty impressive man, don't think I've ever ran that fast of a mile in my life

Thanks guys. I think I am capable of a 5:45-5:50 mile now on a good day fresh and with no pizza in me...

Yea I like to watch ducks and animals in general...I am an animal person...i might get a dog down the line...

Yea my name is Leo....

we had 1 guy shoot 59 and then shoot bonus bulls eye target ...where he scored 65/100....at 25 yards with 10 shots and 2 min ...he took 45 sec.....he shot several 60s in practice....we had couple other guys who shot high 50s and 1 other guy who shot a 60 in practice but he only got a 53 in qualification...my goal was 55...but o well...I am just glad i got through it....although a thought did cross my mind about the extra time on the range for remediation and then retest....that's like free instruction and practice and then retest....but i dont think i'd want to miss class time or come after long days to the range in the evening and do it....i am twisted i know...couple other good shooters admitted similar thoughts...haha...

I was amazed at how many ex-military guys struggled badly.....2 failed and will have to retest while 1 started horribly and improved...the only guy who was good was the one that shot 59....guess shooting rifles and machine guns doesnt make you a good handgun shooter...i feel for some of them...I was pleasantly surprised by a few people who improved a lot and passed...

but like my friend said....most cops cant shoot worth a damn...he's a competitive shooter and he said it well when he said you want to be a great shot when your life is on the line...this barely squeeking by shit should not cut it...yea you may never have to fire a gun in your 30 years but the one time u do...u better be a fucking wizard with the gun...that's why i was fairly hard on myself....I may go shooting again with him tomorrow...my biggest problem is trigger control...then again it's the biggest problem for most people...my sights i thought were a smidge off...but i doubt they gave a shit...

what's a good gun to get off duty?

I have heard mixed suggestions....kimber, sig, barreta, ruger....i really liked the ruger and the kimber...tho the sig is a solid gun i must say....I am even jokingly considering a desert eagle....

Coincidence or destiny?
First name Leo
LEO= Law Enforcement Officer.


Pistol magnifies all the fundamentals used for shooting rifle and is less forgiving. Machine guns are very forgiving once you learn how to handle them. Of course, depending on the branch and MOS, some of those guys may have rarely touched a weapon. Than there are the guy that just can't shoot...

It'd probably be a good idea to have your off duty firearm be something with the same trigger system as your duty weapon.

Thanks guys. Classic moment was when instructor asked if anyone can shoot 2 inch spread from 25 yards away for 18 rounds, standing, kneeling, weakside.....one ex-mil guy shoots up his hand(no pun intended)....and says yea....gets out on the range...gets 2/25 anywhere on the big torso/head target. We laughed about it for 4 days....he had trigger control issues which he partly solved by putting tape on his first knucle of trigger finger...I thought about doing the same thing as it was an issue for me also but since i was shooting 50s by this time i decided against it. I also thought it was pretty funny he was the only person who got to switch his hand grips to custom day before the qualification. But he's a special case all around for a few reasons.

Newt you're too funny but I am not Clint Eastwood. The .44 magnum would be a little to rediculous on me kind of like a desert eagle...on the other hand I could outfit desert eagle to fire the .44s...lol...

I liked my buddies Kimber

http://www.michiganmilitia.com/SMVM/...IMG_Kimber.jpg

looked something like that...although he paid like 1200 for it he said....on a funny side he left his bag with the guncase containing that very gun when he left the range yesterday at the end of the day....I see a bag and go WTF? in the parking lot with almost everyone left or leaving....at least it was on a private SF.PD property but still...pretty boneheaded thing to do...

but back on point I think i'm getting this gun...it looks pretty sweet and its cost is close to the Sig .40 semi 226....

The guys at the range are very cool and said that eventhough you have to qualify twice a year and can practice 100 rounds once a month, we could call and try to set up where we can come a bit more often....like twice a month or something like that to practice......as he said shooting is a perishable skill............I would love to eventually get on the range as a staff down the line...the youngest guy there has 26 years on the job ..with a couple guys with 30 or more.....

2 inches at 25 yards for 18 rounds is incredible. I just got a S&W M&P 40 cal. I'll have to see how accurate I am with it.

Kimbers are awesome. Although I agree with Chaos Mitten in that you should get an off-duty pistol that performs similar to your on-duty pistol.

Sigs are very realiable but Kimber just looks like a thing of beauty ..

http://www.gunsandammomag.com/ga_han...er_011206A.jpg

only thing is that its magazine is 7 capacity vs 12 for sig 226....is that generally a problem or no?

Merill that was the whole point of it...because people wanted to mod their stock guns or what not...and instructor said once you can do that feat...you can think about it because our sig226s are all capable of that feat stock...
