Darn. I was going to say you're much cuter than I expected.

If the "cup and saucer" hold being demonstrated was being used, it could explain shots being all over the paper. That's just about the worst possible stance and grip.

can anyone explain why its working better? lol I really gotta find out. Its bugging me.

A man once bought a talking parrot. He was warned that the parrot had a nasty disposition and was known for verbally abusing everyone in sight. The man thought the warnings were a bit severe, so he bought the bird anyway and took it home.

He spent the first night home with his new parrot mostly sleepless, as the parrot would scream obscenities at the top of its tiny lungs all night long. The man pleaded with the bird to be quiet. He tried to reason with the bird. He even tried to bribe the bird with every treat he could think of. The next morning, the man left for work, thankful that he would, at least, get a break from the parrot's incessant foul mouth.

He no sooner walked in the door from work, when he was greeted with a tirade of epic proportions from the parrot. Language was used that would make a sailor blush. Not knowing what else to do, the man grabbed the parrot and threw him into the refrigerator to "cool off!" Ah, peace and quiet! After about 15 minutes, the man started feeling guilty, so he opened the 'fridge and let the bird out. The parrot shook himself off and hopped around for a few minutes to warm himself back up, but then started back to cussing the man out non-stop.

The man put up with it for about 20 minutes and then couldn't take it any longer. He grabbed the parrot again, but this time he threw the bird in the freezer. This time, he could hear the parrot screaming obscenities for 5 minutes after he closed the freezer door, then, suddenly, silence. After about 5 minutes of silence, he heard a calm voice from the freezer saying, "Please let me out. I won't yell or cuss any more."

The man slowly opened the freezer, and out stepped the parrot. "I really must apologize for the way I have behaved since you bought me. I have been terribly impolite. I promise you I will no longer speak above a conversational tone of voice and I will not use vulgar language any more, either. Again, you have my most sincere apologies for my behavior. I hope we can get along from this point forward," the parrot stated in a calm cultured voice. The man was taken back by all of this and wondered what brought about the change in the parrot. The parrot continued, "By the way, what did the chicken do?"


The moral of the story: Your 1911 saw what you were going to do to it if it continued to act up, so it decided to fly right!

I think the 1911 might have been a little too heavy for her. I was more worried about little safety issues to notice her grip too much lol. I showed her how the slide comes back and not to put her hand anywhere where the metal moves and let her hold it however best she could. I think she did great for being more of a novice than me lol.
