I had not shot a handgun since my dad's .38 revolver as a grade school kid about 30 years ago.
A friend took me to the range to shoot his Beretta PX-4 storm subcompact w/ 3" barrel since I am thinking of buying one.

Shot this group on my 5th clip, err magazine with the gun at 5m. The outlier is the DA, first shot.

I liked the gun so much I am buying one this week.

That looks like powder burns on your target

I'd say that's pretty good shooting, considering that's the first time you've shot in 35 years!!

Well done!

A pretty good group there.

Ya, most people know what you mean when you say "clip", but technically (to the "pureists" or some other not-so-nice names), that device that holds the bullets - excuse me - "cartridges" - is a magazine. Glad to see ya hanging out here.

Well, now, that all depends.

Welcome to the forum.

Yep magazines for semi-auto handguns and clips for moon clip revolvers and rifles. I don't use clips in my hair but I will use them to hold papers together!

Good job!!!

haa, not quite. It is a dirty bird spatter target. I had never seen one before, but it has something laminated between the ink on top and the plastic like paper that leaves a metallic residue around the holes.

Changed it to magazine, that was actually a rare mistype/speak for me, I always call it a magazine, even on my long guns.

I realized i forgot to point out the big hole is a 6 shot group. When I get my own I'll try at the long pistol range as well

Very nice. In particular for being out of shooting for so long.

Keep emptying those magazines downrange.

"pulled the trigger" and picked up the PX4 subcompact today
I was fortunate and found a used one for $145 off new. Did not come with all the stuff in a new box, but I can pick up the accessories I need separately and still save $$$

Ohhhhhhhhhhh.......congrats on the new purchase....you bum! J/K! You have a great looking gun!

Please post a range test result as soon as you can.

hopefully it works as flawlessly as the one I borrowed last weekend. I will try a few different FMJ brands. I don't know which self defense rounds I'll end up trying through it.

Nice shooting! Welcome to the forum.
