I think I'm getting the hang of this...  . . . this was just a test. Had this been a real pistol, you would have heard gunshots.  |

As my daughter keeps saying to her kids (and getting on my nerves): "GOOD JOB". It looked different then mine - yes, mine is the first edition with the goofy paint job, but then I realized it is because you have the small magazine in yours. I never tried shooting with that one, I just went to the longest one because it felt better in my hand i.e. more control. I miss my guns...  At least I can now get into this forum and look at pictures. |

Although it would really mess up the light weight, I'd love to see one with an alloy frame.
Nice picture though!

I never tried shooting with that one, I just went to the longest one because it felt better in my hand i.e. more control. I miss my guns... At least I can now get into this forum and look at pictures. Thanks, TMan. I finally decided to stop talking about posting pics and set a few minutes to go ahead and do it. Once I got the pistols in the range bag and got the camera out, it only took me 15-20 minutes of experimenting with various shots before I was done. I took maybe a dozen shots and only kept about three. It took me a bit to then lug all the stuff back in, put away the guns and download the pictures to the computer. The most annoying part was setting up with Photobucket. I'm still a bit slow with that, or maybe I'm just experiencing a delay when they post to the forum and I'm doing everything right. One shortcut I took that some may consider unsafe was working with loaded pistols. I was caregul about muzzle direction and not dropping them, though. The two Kel-Tecs had one on the chamber, the PPS chamber was empty. It's kinda smooth and light, plus I'm still getting used to the "Manual of Arms." ;D PS -- How's China? (modified to add PS) |

It's not a bad looking little gun, though I've heard that the color on that one is only skin deep and can wear off. I doubt TMan's gets enough wear to show it though.
With the gun being so small, I can't imagine that the extra weight would either make it that much more heavy, nor be enough to significantly reduce the percieved recoil. I just like the balance better in metal firearms. My P99 feels way out of balance without a loaded magazine. Better with a charged one though.

Thanks! Once I got everything out it wasn't all that bad. I may post a pic to more in a few days.
