Firing Away
I am pleased to report that I finally have gotten to fire my Confederate Colt revolver down at the local range. I put ten rounds through it (if you have ever fired black powder you'll know why ten was enough), and hit the target almost every time. My Navy Colt is Confederate because it has the all-brass frame of the copies made by the South during the war (real Colts had the steel case-hardened frame). I also fired my Hungarian Walther PP and was satisfied that, all things being equal, I still can't hit a damn thing past ten feet. A friend of mine told me that a fellow has to put at least 100 rounds a week through a carry piece to remain proficient. I hope I am never forced into a gun fight. I don't feel confident.
