Best part first. After I cleaned up at the range today I noticed an older gentleman helping, what looked to be his grandson, get ready to shoot a BIG revolver. I stopped and watched with great interest. When the kid pulled the trigger the proceeding heart stopping boom and blinding muzzle flash confirmed it was an X-Frame. I watched with a big grin as the kid shot the other rounds.
When the gentleman turned around I asked what it was. He said it was the 460 S&W Magnum. I had $5 in my wallet and offered to pay him if I could shoot a round or two. He immediately said I could shoot it, but I didn't need to pay him. [emoji3]
https://youtu.be/96v_ZxUrvDMI have decided pistol scopes are a pain to shoot with (having not used one before). Overall the recoil was much nicer than I expected. Mostly because of the giant rubber grip, as opposed to the metal backstrap smashing my thumb knuckle. It was amazing to shoot! I let him shoot my Witness Hunter 10mm. Then he had me try his 45-70 lever gun with a red dot. DANG!!! I want one pretty bad now! Modern +P 45-70 loads are basically T-Rex killers, but he said his were loaded to standard pressure. Oh, and he had me shoot his Bond Arms Derringer in 410. No lust for that gun... What fun though!
I did 25 rounds through the 10mm witness hunter. Still pretty consistent with 3 to 4 rounds in the black rings per 5 shot group. I think I am squeezing the trigger and pulling shots right a little... Last 5 were the best again.
Then I shot about 100 9mm rounds. I haven't been practicing my draw or practical pistol shooting much. I was rusty. Got my draw and first shot back down to 1.2 seconds. I need adjustable rear sights and likely taller front sights though before I go back to a match. All my 75's with the CGW bushing shifted POI. At 15 yards they're about 3 inches high. Anyways, it was a fun day.
