So what’s your best shot with a handgun? I’m talking about one where you scratched your head and said “did I really do that”? For someone like myself that has been shooting handguns for 50+ I have only one that stands out and it was strictly unintentional.
When I first got married I was visiting my brother at his place in rural Central Texas. I had a Model 10 S&W 4” .38 Special in a cowboy rig. There were four couples and we all were walking on the ridge of a stock tank. About 50 feet away there was a aluminum can half submerged in the water and mostly covered with mud. I said “see that can right there” and after everybody stopped to look I did a Matt Dillon unaimed fast cowboy draw (for those that know what that is) and hit that can knocking it about ten feet in the air. Pure ‘D luck.
Like on TV I blew the smoke from the barrel and reholstered. There were some accolades including my wife who said “Wow you are a good shot.”
We continued to walk and my brother slipped up next to me, rolled his eyes, and said “you couldn’t do that again in a100 years”. I said yeah, well don’t tell her that.”
