Well, I took your advice [and mcm80's] and "shot the .40" tonight.   At the NG Armory.

Put a box or so of Winchester White Box target stuff through it.

A Little background here:   For CF semi-auto pistol shooting, I've been using a Kahr PM9 9mm w/Crimson Trace laser at the Bullet Hole (Omaha).   It's my carry pistol, and Those Who Claim to Know say "shoot the one you carry".

Mainly been hole-punching.   But also did the IDPA/IPSC courses on Tuesday nights, up until January this year when the BH closed it down.   Main point is that I've grown accustomed to shooting a sub-compact pistol w/significant muzzle flip, some gripping issues, and a trigger which requires sorta just-so finger joint placement.

Well, switching to the Bigger Boomer this evening was a Handgun of a Different Color.  [SS and Earthtone, actually.]   First, it was nice to again hold a fully grippable handgun.   Good ergos on the XD.   And nice to just stick a finger in the trigger guard and not think about the distal phalange, or whatever.   And nice to see some decent hole patterns off a brannew gun.   Other stuff too.   Like........Makes a Nice Big Boom.   And it pretty much throws the brass around your feet.

So--you gave good advice.   And....I shot the .40.

T'would be a pleasure to shoot with you.   Whenever you get the urge, just give me a holler on
[402] 333-4509.

Glad to hear you had fun, Ken.  I also own a PM9 and they're a joy to shoot for a tiny little gun in a 9mm package.

I'm a member of the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club.  Might try to get down there this week to exercise my rights.  :D  If so, I'll give you a holler.
