I was at an indoor range in PA when two off duty LEO's set up in the booth next to me. Could tell they were LEO because they came in with the Sam Brown belts and holsters in hand. I gathered from their conversation that the one was going to be instructing the other.
They hooked up a silhouette and sent it down to about 15 feet. The one I judged to be the "new guy" fired his Glock 9mm and the shot hit about 2 inches left outside the silhouette and about 6 inches down from the shoulder. His second shot was about an inch closer in and about 2 inches higher, but STILL outside the silhouette.
In the meantime I had sent a small bullseye target down to the same distance.
Now, I ain't making a claim that I'm some super shooter, but I had been practicing rapid fire with my Para-Ordinance P14-45 for a while and was getting pretty proficient at it. So I whipped off a 5 shot volley in about 3.5 seconds and reeled in the target. You could have covered all 5 hits with the palm of you hand.
At the time I was a little bit shaggy haired so who knows what the LEO's were thinking about me. But I saw two heads and two sets of eyeballs peer around the partition and look me over, then slowly draw back into their own booth. I swear it was like some cartoon, I almost bust out laughing.
I think that image is going to be with me until the day I die.
Maybe us civvies were practicing more?
