It’s a hoot, but you do need a firm grip on it when it goes off. ?

We never do!

 

(well, unless Steve wants to, but then, it's his forum, so I guess if he's got something

against Mr Selleck, that's his own business.)

I went to a Halloween party dressed as Magnum a few years ago.  Sneakers, short shorts, and a curly black wig and mustache.  Everyone thought I was dressed as Ron Jeremy. ?

I sat in that car or a mock up of it anyway when the tram we were riding broke down next to it on a tour, very disappointing the car was stripped it only had a steering wheel and a cut down fiberglass seat just like the school chairs most of us sat in in the 3rd grade, it must have been used for background shots or some thing.

Tom ........  one of my Centro Basco USC pals, he and Tom were roommates in college.  We've been trying to get Tom over to lunch with us for awhile, so far he keeps pretty busy and hasn't been able to join us.  One of these days ..........

I have to admit that while I was in the Army, I had a Taurus .454 Casull revolver.  Looking now, apparently you can use it for hunting buffalo.  Anyways.  My buddy wanted to shoot it.  So I load it up with .45 long colt, because it fits, and shoot it one handed, all 5 rounds.  Barely recoils at all, because .45 Colt is a freakin' kitten load.  Then I load it up with proper .454 rounds for my friend, and tell him to use 2 hands and not drop my damned gun.  Didn't realize it until thinking about it now, but I must have looked total legend at that point.  I used to be so cool. :laughing my head off emoji

I’ve had two funny/scary recoil incidents in my life.  
 

The first was a customer I took on a deer hunt at a high dollar lodge.  He borrowed my Tikka 7mm mag.  Just before dusk we heard him shoot, and went to pick him up.  He pulled the old “scope into the eyebrow” trick.  His face, shirt/jacket, and my rifle were covered in blood.  It was like a murder scene.  Scared the hell out of me when I first saw him.  I thought he’d managed to shoot himself somehow.  He needed a few stitches.  Turns out he’d lied about having ever hunted or shooting a rifle before.  To this day the memory of it makes me anxious.  I loaned the guy a pretty powerful rifle, and things could have gone a lot worse.  

 

The second was when a buddy let his girlfriend fire his pre ban full auto UZI.  She pulled the trigger and the gun immediately went up and to the right until she was firing about 30 degrees back over her shoulder.  Luckily she had the sense to let go of the trigger.  Luckily no one was hurt.  
 

After incident #2, I stopped spending time around inexperienced people  who want to shoot that didn’t grow up around guns.

Yeah, my wife's first experience with guns was her old man giving her a 12 or 10 gauge shotgun when she was really young.  Mind you, she only weighs, maybe 110, 115 now.  He didn't help her at all, and laughed himself silly when it literally knocked her on her ass.  It took a bit to get her over that.  Fucking dickhead.  But now she prefers CZ pistols, the steel ones.    (Now if only I could find a reliable source for primers...)

There are no more primers.  They are like jackalopes - mythical….
