I took my dad shooting today since he hasn't fired a weapon in 30 yrs. He tried every handgun I own (7) and the only thing he could hit the broad side of a barn with was a 1956 Colt MIM 1911.
Now this is not a .45 ACP vs. 9mm rant, but he couldn't hit the barn from the inside with a modern pistol. The range owner who instructed my dad, since he didn't want instruction from his boy, even let him go through modern .45 rental guns, to no avail.
Not to knock dad he was dead on with a 6" grouping at 10 yds, and was 9.75" at 15 yds with my Colt.
So my questions are, does anyone else find it hard to shoot well with a modern firearm? Was dad just trying to prove the point they don't make 'em like they used to?
