Well, last night I went over to Impact Guns to meet up with Tacomatose to help me pick a gun and go over quite a few gun basics. Also I finally got to shot a handgun for the first time. I started with the XD .40 rental, nice gun but it jammed about 3-4 times, has a nice little kick, at least to me being my first time. The second gun was Brian's XD 9mm, now this gun was alot more fun to shoot, shorter trigger and more smoother. The finally gun was a XD .45 ACP, Brian's also. At first I thought this was going to have a bigger kick then the .40, but really it did not, again shorter trigger and smoother than the .40. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. I'm sure after doing this for awhile I will get more relaxed and comfortable, I hope, LOL. Brian said I did pretty good for my first time. The target does have a pretty big hole in the center, LOL I also looked at the Glocks, but I'm leaning towards the XD 9mm for now. I think in the future I will get the .45 ACP though.
After I got done shooting, I joined to watch Brian and his friends do some competion shooting of some bowling pins, this was pretty cool. Got to talk to a few guy's about shooting and the gun's they were carrying. Also got to talk lenghty to one of the guy's that works at Impact and this was very knowledgable in my purchase of a gun. Overall I had a great time. Definitely will be back for more.
