Geez Stu, I thought the pics were crummy except for the close up of the trigger. I went out to the florida room, put everything on the glass table, and snapped those in about 2 minutes. It was 2 degrees F out there! FWIW, I used a Canon digital Elph tiny pocket camera I bought on sale at WalMart! About the pin shooting: I usually shoot at Black Wing*, and their matches are fancier than the old style. They have purpose made pin racks that are 3 or 4 levels high, with hostage pins, penalty pins and/or bonus pins. The pins must clear the rack and hit the floor to count. The Glock 24 with the way I have it set up and the ammo I use makes my runs still fall in the "Limited" category of guns. If I used the compensated barrel or an optic, or if I loaded more than 10 rounds I am pushed up to "Open" class.
(*I know you guys get tired of hearing about BWSC, but it is an award winning world class facility that is 2 miles from my house. Did I mention I'm a Gold Life member? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Interesting gun, Jerry, but your great photography is what really turned me on! Soft open-shade lighting and a glass patio tabletop make it easier, I know, but you still do great work. So the 180 grain flat-nose bullets have enough momentum to reliably take down bowling pins? I forgot - do you have to take them clean off the top of a 3' deep table like in conventional pin-shooting or just knock them down? Stu |
