I did not find time to go to the match - had too much going on.

The pistol fits my hand fine. On the first or second target, I got a hammer bite, but once I was aware of it and adjusted my grip, that wasn't an issue. Yes, the sights are small and narrow - a design flaw if the pistol is used only for target shooting, but since I could see the sight picture, that's still not the issue. The main issue was the trembling of the barrel in the firing position once I put any pressure on the trigger..... and that seems to me to be a muscle tone issue.

Last night, I began to experience a lot of pain in the left side of my lower back - in the hip area of my spine. I don't know if it was already strained from tearing down an engine and lifting stuff.... or if the strain was the result of shooting the pistol.

I'm not concerned about my ability to hit a target as large as a human at close range, but it's a shock to me to see those results when I know what I once could do. There are some things about aging that are difficult to accept.

I'll quit whining and practice more. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
