Thanks Bird! I really like the P9, but with Christmas so close cash is obviously short. It was more important to bring this home so my boy could enjoy it as well.
As far as the red dot, I get it, but in my mind, a low mounted dot doesn't mess with the aesthetics too much and greatly increases my accuracy in speed.
I'm gonna put one on our 22 as well. Although, a while back my son shot a rimfire jungle course at a charity event. It consisted of targets on a wooded trail that were pretty well obscured. He outshot another young guy with a S&W M&P 22 rifle with a red dot by shooting faster and only missing 1 target to the other guy's 5.
Man that sounds like a fun course! I wish they did something like that around here. I’d love to take one of the 10/22’s or Charger and go shooting through a woodsy course like that.
It was a blast! We slightly modified the adult course for the kids. I also ran a steel & balloon course for the kids with a Ruger Mark 2...points for safety and accuracy, with ties broken by completion time. Taught 2 kids and 2 adults how to shoot for the first time that day as well.
The event was for a fallen officer's family.
Very nice! I love getting new one's into shooting. Going from scared of guns to, "check out my new gun" a short time after. Those kids and adults you taught will probably always remember the day you taught them!![]()
