Hi Folks..!
Ed - nope, haven't shot the Hi-Power yet, but soon.! It's such a neat old HP, I'm afraid of damaging something on it (actually - since it was war production - I'm also worried about it blowing up

)...
RK - I dunno if you make these stories up on the fly - but everytime I read one, it leaves me LOL!!!!
policeluger - ahhh - the trick on shooting a target so close, and preventing powder burns is use TWO targets stapled together. When you are done shooting from 3" - discard the top target, and show the other one

No powder burns will be present
