Well, shot a hunnerd rounds through my Kimber Pro CDP this weekend (incidentally, went to Bass Pro, not the BT
).
every now and again I had the "spittin' Kimber" effect, and lemme say, If I hadn't had a hat on, I prolly would have little crescent moons in my forehead today. I noticed it happened when I loosened my grip a bit (you know, to keep my hands from shaking).
so, what did I learn from this? The reason it spits the brass directly at your forehead is because the slide is perpendicular to your head when the brass ejects. it's your grip. in the words of Ron White, "It can happen to you, it happened to me."
And, I need to work on strengthening my grip, or I'll never do IDPA to any degree of efficacy. stronger muscles in the hands and forearms won't wear out so quickly, and thusly my hands won't shake, and thusly I won't loosen my grip to accommodate the aforementioned shaking hands thusly resulting in a .45 shell to the noggin. thusly.
