Thanks brother!
It’s much easier to do on a slab frame though!

That gas pedal stippling looks legit! What technique are you using to get the texture?

Gotcha. Think I'll try it first on a palmetto dagger S frame... They have that gas pedal ledge but it is smooth.
For a good aggressive stipple, one of my favorites is the 'sprinkle' patern. I do a large and a small sprinkle.Thanks!! So here is the truth! It’s a regular radio shack soldering iron I have had for a long time, little cheap-o nothing wild. Plain Jane solder tip as you would for electronic connections. Give it a wipe time to time (without burning yourself!) to keep your lines / presses smooth. A moderate pressure with a very hot tip. Don’t linger. Practice if you can. That was the third time I’d stippled a pistol. I think I did it in three sittings. Don’t rush. Take your time and have good ventilation. If you get fatigued, so to say, stop. You’re only going to sacrifice at that point.
Now for a more aggressive? Just dig it harder a little longer and wipe your tip less if at all. That’s what I’ve found. Trust your eyes and don’t go too deep or make a melt that’s too large. Some can be “erased” or smudged to a degree. It is plastic. Just carefully melt some of the high points in the area and pretend you’re giving that spot a “comb over”. Some members here may be able to tell you how to do that better than I.

If you are taking too much time aiming in, noticing you are holding your breath, it's time for you to come back to high ready and sight back in. Unless you are shooting controlled pairs working on sight picture alignment and trigger reset.Last nights range trip went well. Last week was the first week I didn’t shoot this year. I caught a stomach bug at work Tuesday last week and it jacked up my range times. It cost me a couple mags to remember I was doing the things I didn’t want to. We got our groove back on the second 100 rounds of the evening. I’ve finally acclimated totally to shooting at an indoor range. I mainly have been an outdoor shooter and indoor ranges used to make me hurry without realizing. This membership deal is a sweet thing! $37 a month for as often as I want and as long as I want is a thing of beauty.
Hey, don’t forget to breathe! Yeah we all know we need to, but personally…it has only been the past three range trips that I feel my breathing is where it should be.
I’ve started doing some breathing exercises in my day to day routine. Getting used to breathing in a cadence, subconsciously, while “flowing” through my usual movements. My job gives me plenty of tasks to use this with. I breathe normally in for a count of six seconds and breathe out for the same. All the while I’m working with my hands, climbing ladders, etc. I have seen a couple improvements in my life in doing so. But amongst them, I’ve noticed a better shooting sequence.

Get value with every shot. Most people load their mags all the way up and end up shooting too fast. Shooting fast makes you make bad shots. Bad shots frustrate, only making you shoot faster and throw out all the basics.
No one just stands around with their arms out in front of them for the time it takes to shoot a whole mag. It gets worse when you are holding a pistol at the end of them. Take your time and press out and aim with each shot.
I always recommend loading mags with 1 or 2 rounds. Having to load each time slows you down by default.
I always say shoot 15 rounds 1 at a time and not 1, 15 round mag, once. If that makes sense.
You cannot rush progression.
Sometimes, it is necessary to kill the hostages too. LolHey! I just saw I placed second in my division!
And first out of the newbies. Now overall finish? Middle bottom lol
And that was with blasting the teeth out of two friendlies and a bunch of procedurals. Ok, that’s fun!

Hey, get your SPEED movie quotes right.Sometimes, it is necessary to kill the hostages too. Lol
Looks like you were having fun. Stay safe!
I feel like it really depends on the hostage though, right? Like, what happens if Kadyrov takes Putin hostage with a gun to his head? Do you try to avoid shooting the hostage? Or do you just figure god will sort them out?Hey, get your SPEED movie quotes right.
it is "shoot the hostage" not "kill".

Lol. Wasn't thinking of that. I have to admit, I've only seen the movie once back when it came out. It was too much like one of those runway train flicks.Hey, get your SPEED movie quotes right.

I wanted to try some shooting without aiming at 7 yards. I didn't do any drawing but did work from low ready.
This was with the G43x (which I know I don't shoot wonderfully).
