Guinness, that sounds like a great idea. Guinness is my favorite draft as well.

Tom,
Have you ever tasted Guinness in Ireland? It's so much better than what they export to this country. I imagine it has to do with the freshness.
OK, sorry....back on topic now.  :)

i've never had the good fortune of visiting the Emerald Isle, but I hear that the closer you get to Dublin, the better the Guinness gets.

I can attest that it is definitely better when tasted
on the old sod; that version dosen't travel well or long.

the Guinness is great any where in Ireland, even better at the brewery.

hi
 you might try to shoot one handed. strong then weak.
 i have found that on some short guns you can hold them too tight.
 the gun works better the longer you go in the shooting session
 you get worn out and let the gun run a little causing the slide to slow a little and the gun to move more.

That's an interesting theory. I'll have to try a more relaxed hold on the R9 next time.  I've always used an extremely firm grip with the R9 in the past.

Along that line I was thinking the other day that not
only tight but a high grip, and it doesn't take much,
for the hand to get in the way of the slide and impede
the full cycle. This could be the possible cause of some
failures to eject, especially for those with large hands.
I have small hands so it is less of a problem.
Next time I go to the range I think I will focus on the
hand's relationship to the slide.
