Could very well work out fine; I'll try it next sunday at the range.

On the other side; it's not something you want to get used to; more conventional built pistols could surprise you bigtime, when the slide is coming backwards towards your face.

Last month I heard a policeman tell the story about a female student of the policeschool who held her Walther like that; the rear sight an inch or so from her face. Result; a trip to the hospital to get her right cheek stiched up. :icon501:

Peet.
