No pictures yet, we just came back from the range. YES... I said "WE".... my wife Grace and I headed over to the range this morning. I shoot regularly, Grace shoots sporadically. There always seems to be "something" else that has to be done... you know?
So.... yesterday I stopped at Dave Severns and picked up a brand new DW Guardian in 9mm. Brought it home, told Grace about it while her girlfriend was visiting (so I wouldn't catch hell)... her girlfriend said that she wants to learn to shoot and Grace says "Mike and I will teach you"....
After the friend leaves... I said "uhhhh... hun.... sweetheart.... dear... you haven't shot in a good six months. Do you think we should go tomorrow so that you can refamiliarize yourself with the guns?"
AND SHE SAID YES.
Went to the range this morning.... she shot the Charter Arms 22, the Browning Buckmark... then I handed her her old trusty 38 snub nose. You know... the one that kicks like a mule? uh huh.... THEN I handed her my brand new Guardian. Big mistake! She fired 3 mags.... looked at me and said "I like this. I want this. Thank you for buying it for me." Then on the way home... I heard her say "Now I understand why you like the DW 1911 so much. I never knew..."
Yup, she now owns a (MY) brand new DW Guardian, and I'm allowed to use it occasionally. I did tell her.... "NO pink grips. Period."
So that's my story about how I got a brand new Guardian and lost it in one day.
Here is Grace's target at 21 feet. Balls 1,9,4 and 10 were with the Guardian. Ball #2 was with my 45 cal CCO.
