I did something pretty stupid yesterday. I was out doing some target practice with my P-11, and I was using the top of my car as a rest while I shot at an old propane tank about 50 yards away. After one of the shots, the empty shell hit the top of the car and landed upright on the far edge of the roof. So the stupid thing is that I decided to shoot the shell off the top of the car. I knew damn-well that there was a chance the bullet would gouge the roof of the car if my aim was off, and big surprise, it did just that. At least I hit the empty shell–to miss it would have been embarassing. =)
I think there might actually be somthing wrong with my P-11 though, because no matter how much I adjust the rear sight, my aim seems to be off a little to the right. At 50 yards, I have to aim about 12-18 inches to the left in order to hit my target, and at 15 yards it’s off by a few inches. I’ve bumped the sight to the left a few times, but the aim never improves, nor does it seem to get any worse. Maybe someday I’ll take a couple hundred rounds and a bunch of targets to the “range” (for me, that’s pretty much any dirt road that leads out of town) and spend some serious time trying to figure out the problem.
