Default Took the new Silverback to the range
Took my new DW to the range for the first time today. Weather was overcast and windy, but it had not started raining yet.

The adjustable rear sights make life so easy for a man with as bad eyes as mine. The pistol performed very well with only a few minor glitches. I ran it WET, and it in turn gave me a good time.

I first shot from 12 yards just to see where it would hit. It was on the target but needed adjustment. My first few targets were unimpressive, so they will not be included here.

Here is 12 yards offhand:



25 yards rested



25 yards rested



25 yards rested



And then there was a rock in the berm behind the targets at the 50 yard line, so that makes it about 55 yards away. It was about the size of a drinking glass laid on its side.



A good day all in all.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Good shooting. The RSO in me wants to advice you to not shoot at rocks. Bullets can ricochet a long distance.
That DW is gorgeous. Can't wait to get my first 1911

Understood, , and normally I agree, but given this was 55 yards and I was shooting offhand, I had to try. I believe I hit it 5 out of 10 tries.

Wait, do you have your own emoji???
