BikerBabe 0 #1 June 13, 2003 I leave in a half hour to attempt to qualify on the M9. That's spend all day shooting a 9-mm Beretta in order to pass a timed test for the military. I'm not a gun person, and I haven't shot since Basic Training, where I just barely qualified. The gun is large, I have small hands, and it is a bitch for me to handle and fire properly. Certainly NOT a gun I would buy if I were so inclined. However, I need to qualify in order to go on a trip that I want/need to go on. I need good luck and vibes to calm my nerves...Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,171 #3 June 13, 2003 Well, good luck then. Relax, and feel it there. You'll do great, Andie.

TheRus 0 #5 June 13, 2003 Good luck to ya! You can do it. Beretta 9mm guns are pretty forgiving compared to others you could be using (like a snub-nose .38 ). Yeah, it's fine, we'll walk down the line.

BikerBabe 0 #16 June 13, 2003 LOL...really. If the world were perfect, they'd let me fire the M-16, since I shot expert in that in basic training. And all the enemies would be little man shaped targets. Yeah, in our class of 14, 3 people had cracked slides. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!
