One Response to “Gun Porn”

    One day about five years back, my teenage son and I were shooting a 9mm Storm (rental gun) in Red’s Shooting Range, Pflugerville, TX. It was a fun gun to shoot, and we both felt very space-agey shooting such a high tech carbine instead of our pistols.

    A few rows down from us, the only other shooter there was shooting his Hawken rifle in .54 caliber. He fired bout once every five minutes, after lots of fiddling with the measure and pouring black powder and patching and ramming the ball in between each thunderous, smoke-belching shot. He also waited for us to be loading mags before he fired, because his rifle basically fogged up the range for about a minute after each shot.

    The gentleman finally wandered over, introduced himself, and offered my son a shot with his rifle, saying something about a comparison with “old school” shooting. My son accepted, and hit a bull’s eye at 50 yards, much to his delight. I offered the old gent a magazine on the Storm, but he said no thanks, commenting that he enjoyed the reloading as much or more than the shooting.

    My son to this day remembers and comments on both the delight of shooting that old black powder smokebarrel, and the blasting of targets with the Storm, to this day.

    Storms are fun; Hawkens are awesome.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
