I'm told that when my father-in-law takes it out of the bag at the local range that he soon has a swarm of new best friends gathered around him. Not only that, they marvel at the tight groups once he pulls the trigger. This from a guy, who never had a bit of handgun training. Marvelous piece of art!

Thanks Kinny....now teach me how to do it correctly for future posts.

Sorry, folks. Not sure why I couldn't get the pics embedded in the above post. Guess you will just have to cut and paste into your browser until I get smart on how this forum works...
