I've been wanting a handgun for a good while now but being in school on a tight budget prevented that.


I finally pulled the trigger on the SR45 I've been having my eye on!




Went to The Shooter's Club in Harrahan today to take my first shots. Put 50 rounds down the range

15ft


20ft


30ft



I have very minimal experience in the hand gun department, so I'm still getting the feel of it but I'm happy with the results at this time

Very nice shooting for minimal hand gun experience.

That's probably about what my groupings look like after owning a handgun for 4 years. I don't shoot nearly enough. I hate indoor shooting ranges and don't have anywhere to shoot outside around here.

Congrats! You beat Bapple to the SR45. He's been wanting one for a while. I'm a Ruger guy. I have the SR22, LC9, SR9c and 10/22 Takedown. You'll be happy with it.

Nice gun indeed.

Changing your stance will tighten your groups. Judging from shots, you werent braced for recoil.

When you find a stance and gun that youre confortable shooting, everything else falls into place for ya.

Went shoot again yesterday. Put 100 rounds down range. Getting a much better feel for the gun.. I love this gun!


15ft



25-30ft


60ft (all the way to the back of the range)



On a side note, I bought 4 - 100 round boxes of Winchester 230gr .45 ACP FMJ for $50/box at Academy
