Title: Picked up my Pup today
Post by: Wild_Boar on January 20, 2011, 04:48:06 PM: Momma said I could get a pup if I was good. ;)
So I promised to feed it , pet it , and take it out every day.
Today I picked up ''Blackie'' , my new R9 Stealth.
I will take very good care of her , hope she does the same for me ! Range report coming soon.

Congrats on the new pup - you will enjoy your first range day!

Welcome!

Just keep that pup clean and well lubricated, allow it to cool down a bit following strings of fire, and it will serve you well. You now own what our member Reinz aptly calls "the Holy Grail of pocket pistols."

It will be YOU that bark!

Post by: tracker on January 20, 2011, 09:25:05 PM: Why would anyone do that?

Post by: kjtrains on January 20, 2011, 10:03:03 PM: I haven't a clue.
Title: Re: Picked up my Pup today
Post by: rodell on January 21, 2011, 08:23:53 AM: I've heard it can happen to someone on their first shot when they aren't ready for a little "flip".

Probably just a rumor though.

Post by: tracker on January 21, 2011, 12:40:37 PM: The first I heard about the improper grip you describe was last week from the instructor in my CHL renewal class. I thought he was just blowing smoke but they must see everything. For example, one of the shooters in our group released his slide on a loaded magazine prior to firing but then he racked the slide and ejected a live round because that was his normal firing sequence. The instructor was all over him for that little faux pas before he settled down eventually. It is astounding what some people do with their weapons.

Post by: rodell on January 21, 2011, 05:00:54 PM: I've seen it a lot, actually, at the public ranges. Either bites on the web of the primary hand, or, a chunk missing from the support hand. I think it would be easier to do on the R9 because it is just a touch smaller than some others!
Title: Re: Picked up my Pup today
Post by: tracker on January 21, 2011, 05:08:17 PM: I don't understand it because it is less stable and hazardous. That is one good reason not to go to a public range if there is another alternative.
