I bought a Buckmark .22 pistol on Friday. It has really pretty contoured rosewood grips, and a fiber optic front sight.
I have 3,450 rounds through this pistol. Again, bought it Friday!
I have never felt myself gaining skill as quickly as I have this weekend. I normally shoot 9's and 45's, and I'm a decent shot but I have a hard time with follow ups / double taps, and more quickly regaining sight picture.
I have 9 or so 8-10" gongs hanging all over, along with some 4" steel circles I bought off Ebay. By this afternoon it was getting too easy at 15-20 yards, so I moved them out to about 30 yds. Bang bang bang. I've also become AWESOME at reloading the magazine. Takes about 15 seconds total.
I had some flinching problems before, not bad but not good. It's gone. I can pick up my 1911 or XDm and nail the same 30 yard gongs now. Not quite as fast as with the .22, but I'm literally twice as fast and twice as accurate with my larger calibers as I was last week.
My point to this, is to urge anyone who has hit any plateaus in marksmanship to grab a decent rimfire, a few thousand rounds of ammo, and shoot as much as possible. I'm just excited to get the feeling that I'm stepping up to the next level and it's costing me BEANS!!
Probably not exactly breaking news for a lot of you...!
