Recently, my twin brother George got a IT job at Thompson Guns in Rochester, NH. Earlier this week he came home with a Walther P22 .22 autopistol . This surprised my folks, because they figured that it would be me that would bring home a gun. Anyway, he was anxious to try it out, and being inexperienced with handguns, he wanted me to take him to the range. So today we made the trip to Manchester to a nice indoor shooting range I heard about. Great place. You can rent a firearm (revolvers, auto-pistols, rifles, shot guns, even machine guns), and buy guns, ammo, and accessories on the spot. They sold George some Remington Yellow Jacket rounds for his gun, and I started the hour renting a Beretta Model 84 FS Cheetah and 50 rounds of .380 ACP rounds.
The center target was from my first clip, just to get a feel for the Beretta. The next 10 rounds went into the right target... much better job . The left square was my brothers. Good job bro . George had some problems with his P22 jaming, so I took a look at it. The ammo they gave him had a tapered nose, I told him I think it'll like round nose rounds better. So I went into the store, and got a box of CCI Mini Mag's. The new ammo worked beautifully.
After the .380 ammo was depletted, I returned the Beretta and rented a Colt 1911 .45 and got some ammo to feed it with. 45's are fun to shoot, but this one was not accurate . Next time I plan to try the SIG or GLOCK.
After George shot off a few mags of 22 ammo, I let him try out the .45. This is the first time he has shot anything this big. He aims, and pulls the trigger. Takes a moment to get a better possistion... and fires off the remaining six rounds. Then he and I burst out with laughter... defiently an experience he will remember forever.
With only 5 minutes left of our range time, George finishes off his last two mags of ammo in style! I was surprised by his vigorness .
