Default Finally got out with the 9mm

First off I had to heal up and get strong enough from my August
neck surgery and all the rehab to get me out of a wheel chair to
a walker to a cane. That was the first part.
The second part was getting the neck that was short 18% up & down
and left & right to be able to see cars backing out of my drive way !!

Today was the first warm day with no or little wind per the news
so I took a chance and shoved all the gear inside the rig an headed to the hills.

Did a test with 135gr and 147gr plated but thought you all might
like the picture of the little C9 3.5" with the Speer GD load test.

This was just for the fps data, since my hands are still shaky and
I get a wiggle now and then, that messes things up, off a rest.
Here is the good and the ugly........

Welcome back to the world of shooting and what I call "Therapy". Focus on the front sight and trigger pull makes the world go away for a little while. Give Em Hell buddy.

I feel for you, Ed. I've learned to take my wife along so she can look for cars when I back up.

Glad your on the mend.

For backing up the car I've become reliant on the backup camera and proximity sensors, to make-up for limited range of motion.

You have been through a lot and Im glad the desire to load up and shoot, and shoot well, has gotten you up and out!
That`s quite an accomplishment.

It's a great start, Ed! You're back in the saddle!
And you're shooting pretty darn good, too!
