Took my parents out behind my neighbors farm for some target shooting, point shooting, and shooting from retention. (Also to try out their new Rem 870 to see how mom tolerated the recoil with Fed 00 reduced recoil/limbsaver butt pad....she did great)
I surprised dad by bringing the 1911 (he has only shot 1911's a few times since he was in the service...in the 1980's when I had one that I sold to pay for books) His eyes lit up and he shot the whole session with the 1911, and kicked ass doing it! He handed me his ccw weapon, the Glock 27.
I was fully expecting to not like it...but the darn thing is very accurate, cheap, and really has minimal recoil. SO...the old man may be getting a Kimber over the next few weeks. Not sure if I'll get the 27...but damn, that's nice power in a light/compact little ccw package. I still couldn't resist razzing the old man that I have a load of dishes to run, and offered to just run the glock on the top rack
