Anyone close to St-Hyacinthe QC?

[Icefire]

I never shot pistol and I'll be getting my restricted course next week-end and I'm still not decided if I get a .22LR or 9mm/.40 S&W pistol as a first...

I would like to be initiated (sp?) to the sport please
I will pay ammo with no problem and would prefer a french speaking person, (english would be just a bit harder to begin with... but I can try hehe)

Just reply / PM where you live, what pistol you would let me shoot and where's the range!

It would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks

Steph

Je ne suis plus dans la region de Montreal (depuis 4 ans). Mais si tu as des questions specifiques - je peux essayer de t'aider.
Pour commencer: le plus important c'est de se sentir a l'aise avec l'arme a feu. Les 22 c'est bon pour la pratique et ca ne coute pas cher pour les cartouches. 9mm c'est ce que je prefere. les 40 et 45 ont plus de "kick"/recoil. Donc en principe tu as besoin de plus de pratique/experience.

I have no problem writting in english
I only have fired a .22 rifle in the past and would like to have the feeling of the 22 pistol or 9/.40 before making a choice..
The .22lr ammo cost is sure tempting but If I don't like it, it's not better..
I heard we should fire centerfire in the exam for restricted, so that would be a start.

I have handled a XD40, 1911 and a Desert Eagle / Sig mosquito and Beretta Neos in a store and liked the Sig hand feeling.. beretta was so-so, and others was too big for my liking (even if I have medium/large hands).

Let's see what come's up and I'll see.

Bonjour Steph,

J'habite à Boucherville mais travaille à St-Hyacinthe. Je suis membre au club Maska de St-Hyacinthe Champs de tir extérieur) et également Ville St-Pierre (champs de tir intérieur). Si ça t'interesse, Je me rend au champs de tir de Ville St-Pierre presque à toute les semaines. Je possède un révolver S&W .357 magnum (qui peut également tirer du .38) et un pistolet SA XD9 9mm.

Si ça t'interesse, on peut s'organiser pour se rencontrer et discuter.

Tu peut me rejoindre à l'adresse g.boudreault@videotron.ca

Guy B.

Salut Steph,

Je suis à Laval et membre à Ville St-Pierre également, où je vais 1 à 2 fois par semaine. Si jamais tu te rends dans le coin, on pourra s'arranger, peut-être en même temps que Guy. J'ai un pistolet Para-Ord .45ACP, un pistolet Ruger .22LR et un Révolver S&W .44 Magnum. Si on les ajoute à ceux de Guy, ça te donnerait un bon aperçu de ce qu'il y a sur le marché (il manquerait quasiment juste du .40S&W)

Envoies-moi un PM si ça te dis.

You DON'T do any 'firing' in the exam. You're just required to know the basics of centre-fire handguns

e.g.

- types of bullet (RN, SWC,...);

- factoids like ".38 special ammo can be used in .357 Mag but not vice versa"...

Well the instructor told me we would have some shooting as practical exam..
I'll see that tomorow

 

[Icefire]

well the shooting was supposed to be at lunch time and he forgot
we had a nice s&w 4506 to play with at least.

anyway I passed that's more important

Thanks to the 2 offers
