Kimber Warrior.
It is the same pistol that was spec'ed and is built for the SOCCOM Marines.

We'll have to go again, soon.

Excellent way to close out the MidWeek!
Dragged and cajoled my two shooting buddies from Rockwall, and got to meet up with Cyphur and S&W6946!
Now, Cyphur is currently 'firearm-challenged', but that is easily overcome by showing up with boxes of ammo.
Now, S&W6946 brought his , uh, S&W6946 which was a huge change from my clean breaking Warrior to the Double Action of the S&W. However, I did shoot a tight group with it after I got past the trigger pull. Speaking of trigger pulls was S&W's Beretta Tomcat! My gosh, I thought I was going to have to back away from the lane to finish the pull!! I initally *stopped* on the first pull; I thought it was not loaded!!
First shot was a DA pull, loooong, and a flyer. I think I gave up before the break, heheh. Ohhhh, but the SA next shots...! That is where that pocket gun shines! When the trigger went to SA, it was an accurate little gun in my hand. Wow, what a difference. We agreed that the best way to use this gun in a confrontation, was to just squeeze off the *1st* shot and make the next 11 shots count! Truly impressed, I might have to look for one the next time the CFO authorizes high-dollar expenditures.

My only complaint is that we ran out of time.
The guys were a hoot to meet, although I didn't get to spend as much time with S&W as I did with Cyphur. Mostly because Cyphur had my Kimber, and I wanted to make sure he didnt haul butt for the parking lot with it.
I got back at Cyphur though, as I loaded snapcaps in the mags I handed him, to help him watch for his movement during the pull. We had a laugh over it, but he did improve as the hour passed...

Gonna go after work Wed or Thur if you wanna join us for some pistol shooting...

Have you tried the shotgun area at the Garland Public Range yet?
I am trying to get some guys together to shoot some pistols tomorrow evening. I have not made it past the pistol range part yet, but would love to try hitting some clays over there.
