Had a great night at the ATS in abbotsford tonight, my first time shooting this way, and it gave me the opportunity to try a couple of different pistols and meet a bunch of people.
After talking with Slavex for awhile he was gracious enough to let me use his Beretta for one round, not sure what model and then for the next several rounds i used his S&W M&P 9, which is a very nice gun for a left-handed shooter. He switched around the mag release and changed the palm grip to fit my hand size and that took maybe 2 minutes tops, like i said a great gun. I also got a good bunch of safety tips from slavex that are particular to this type of shooting.
The other shooters were very patient with me, i took things pretty slow, they were using a calendar to time me, and i got a chance to see a lot of different handguns being used.
All in all a good night and i am looking forward to my first skills and drills night with-hopefully- my own gear.
Thanks for the night out, looking forward to many more.
