Guns, Gadgets & ... no, thats it.

With Glock-19 9mm




[Mallik & Jagan, I have added this after reading your comments...]
We went to Wade's yesterday. It has a recreational firing range. The gun that we rented was a 9mm (Glock-19), since it is known as 'easy' for newbies like us to learn. Even then the recoil was pretty strong and really impressive. The gun was a semi-automatic. You take the cartridge out, insert the bullets (maximum of 14 at a time), slide it back in and release the latch. Now the gun is loaded and armed. The gun had no 'safety' (the clip). You can fire 14 rounds in quick succession at the target, if you so wished. I tried to take real careful aim and 'gently pull the trigger' as recommended. But I shot pretty lousily, I have to admit. Not too bad for a first timer though! ;))

The feeling I had when I was there is really hard to describe. One of the 'top of the world' experiences. The recoil from the first shot of my life took some skin off of my left hand:-) Now I understand that what they show in movies is absolute bullshit.
