I probably should have posted this here first. Oh well. :)
The second time I fired a handgun I qualified as Expert in Navy boot camp. The first time I fired a handgun was when I was 5 years old and my grandfather held his hands around mine while I pulled the trigger on a little Smith 38 Special revolver.
Since then I have reloaded and fired in various disciplines (IPSC, NRA Handgun Silhouette, local bowling pin matches etc.) something on the order of 30,000 rounds of handgun ammunition and another 10,000 rounds of centerfire rifle ammunition. I have also fired around 10,000 rounds of rimfire rifle ammunition, 3,000 in the last four months.
I shoot NRA Smallbore Rifle Silhouette and am building a gun for High Power Rifle Silhouette. McMillan is pretty far behind on orders so it will likely be another month or so. If you are interested in or curious about NA Rifle Silhouette, send me a PM and I can take you out to the range in Phoenix.
I knew very little about Kahrs until a few weeks ago when I decided to acquire a readily concealable handgun. I did some reading and settled on a Kahr, either a P380 or PM9. After seeing a CM9 in a LGS I decided that the PM9 was small enough to comfortably conceal in light summer clothing. While I would have been confident with a 380, I am happy that I found a serviceable 9mm.
I may still end up getting a P380. We'll see.
