Colt Series 70 Satin Nickel Commander in 9mm Luger. It was a pretty rare bird back then. Really the only other domestic 9mm was the S&W 39 and 59. Being Colt guy I should have pounced on it. Someone else sure did. I think it held 9-10 rounds in a single stack mag. It was about $325, back when a Ruger Super BH was $195. Hardly anyone shot 9mm except in old surplus military guns. None of the JHP back then would open up reliably. 9mm was a turd, everyone shot wheelguns or a .45. They said the Super-Vel 90 gr. was the hot ticket for the Luger cal. serious shooters.
One of my favorite little sleepers is the Star BM, sort of a mini 1911. A fantastic truck gun, I need one before they dry up.
The plates; Bottom was the G21/9mm custom, those big sights and trigger work well. Left is the Beretta, I was a bit wild with it. The sights are very precise but good light on each side of the front. It was my first choice. However the HP really feels good in my hand and it's MKII sights are almost as good as the Beretta. I'm really considering it. No SA/DA confusion either. I may take the Glock for fun, he will let me run it with multiple guns for fun.
On the big target I have to force myself to look at a small part of it, not try and see the whole thing at once. If I can focus on the center ring it works. Like flushing a covey, you got to pick one and shoot at it, not the whole bunch.
