Well, The Tommy was just for fun-no score counting.

The weapon was a Smith & Wesson 3913 (9mm)

Mine has a mirror-polish, Hogue sticky grips, Novak combat sights, and a polished feed ramp. I carry it everywhere I can legally do so, which is most everywhere around here.

The course was the 4-day defensive pistol course at Front-Site in Nevada. I had to score 112 out of 125 (combined shooting and malfunction testing) to qualify as Distinguished. 86 was the minimum to "Graduate" (everybody else got "Certificate of Completion") I scored 96 total, as I lost 15 points on malfuction testing. I can now take the tactical pistol training, but would have had to shoot Distinguished to enroll in Combat Master training. I can now perform at or above the level required of any law enforcement agancy.

God, I love this country.

Oh Crap!
That's not a 3913. It's a 669. I pulled the wrong pic.

Well, they look almost identical, but the 3913 is a single stack mag with eight rounds. 669 holds ten or eleven, IIRC.
