I do enjoy the stories about the .44 Mags et al shutting up bigmouths, but I have occasionally had the opposite problem. While I'm not such a good shot anymore, I do mostly manage to stay in the black, using two hands. At my local indoor range, we seem to have had a rash of beginners lately, safe, and not rowdy, but usually shooting humongous humanoid targets at the closer distances with their wondernines or other autoloaders. They are lucky to cover their results with a serving platter, much less a dinner plate. Meanwhile, I am quietly plinking away with a .22 at a target at the end of the range. I felt embarrassed for them when I reeled my target in, and I think they did, too, but at least they could tell themselves I was shooting a target pistol (my H&R USRA pistol). They'd have really **** if they had seen me do the same thing with my (accurized) Government Model.
