I shot a 1920's .45 and a glock with a 9mm barrel and with a .357 barrel in it as well. It was some great fun. I did ok, the .45 was from ~15ft and the 9mm was from ~18ft. The .357 we all used the same target and I didn't grab it. My girlfriend did good as well, don't have a clear enough picture of the targets but I will try and get some. :D Oddly I did much better with the .45, which I attribute to me loving that gun and the sight on it better than the glock. The .45 just felt perfectly comfortable in my hands, the glock felt "small". My pinky almost hung off the end of the handle. LOL I'm not a "gun guy" or whatnot but I can appreciate and respect these. And I just flatout love old school .45's and Lugers. :D



The left is the 9mm and the right is the .45.
 
Nice grouping on the .45 compared to the 9mm. Shooting is fun, huh? :) 👍

Oh, and 1911 .45 is A LOT more accurate than a POS Glock.

Thanks. :D Completely agreed. The Glock felt light and was uncomfortable in my large hands. The .45 was just pure nirvana.

Nice shooting. I would love to have a 1911 someday.

Thanks. :D Me as well on the 1911. However my dream gun to own is one of these. :drool: Then the 1911 .45 is second on my list. No wimpy 9mm for me.
 
Very nice shooting. Next time try it gangsta style (sideways) and see how well you do. We were missing the target by feet from 20 ft, no wonder there are so many stray bullets hitting innocent by standers during drive bys. :lol:
 
I doubt my girlfriend's dad (who owns the guns and took us shooting) would approve of "gangsta" style. :lol: I know that shooting sideways is as inaccurate as just randomly shooting without aiming. Its just something those moron thugs do to look "cool" when they really don't.
 
very nice. You can tell the superiority of the .45 by examining the grouping. I am a novice shooter, but I can certainly tell without a question that my 1911 is far more accurate than my Sig mosquito. 👍
