[QUOTE="mahatma, post: 4143894, member: 54719"] About 55 years ago I was 18 or 19 and in the College Pershing Rifles Precision Drill Team. First gun I ever fired was a blank in an M1 Garand during a half-time performance of the drill team at a college football game. Shot the round at present arms position straight up into the air. 16 rounds shot off simultaneously at one point during the performance. Every person in the stands jumped 6 inches off of their seat when they went off. Next time I shot one I was about 70 years old and it was a 38 revolver with my son-in-law at the range at 5 yards just to see what shooting a hand gun was like. Went a bought a Glock 19 after shooting a Glock 17 at the police range and been shooting regularly every since then. Right now I mostly shoot my Glock 44 because ammo is much more affordable. Glock is still my primary gun to carry if I carry one, which is not often. [/QUOTE]
