Allright, at LONG last after weeks of waiting after getting my first handgun, the Springfield XD(m)9mm after Christmas and managing to snag some ammo before all paranoid people cleaned out my town, I got to shoot it. Went and got my temp membership to my local range, drove on out and filmed my first time ever with my gun.
I was really surprised how hard it was to hit a target even 25 yards away. Didn't help either that it was around 40 degrees and the ground was entirely ice. It felt like my shots went all over the place no matter how stifly I held the gun. Guess I need to practice more and get some training, but I had a blast!!! Definetily alot more fun then my .22 marlin rifle ever was! I was amazed at how fast I went through 100 rounds of Winchester white box 9mm lugers from Wal-Mart. I'll need to stock up when I get the chance.
Was cool to see the amount of damage these 9mm solid rounds did to the printer. My .22lr rifle sure couldn't do that. I"d imagine hollow points would do even more.
Any tips or suggestions on how I could improve my shooting would be appreciated! Can't wait to shoot more!
