Went to the national forest today with my S&W 411. I needed ammo first though, so I went to 2 different gun stores that were both closed (Sunday). So then I Had to resort to Walmart in Woodland Park; they had the Winchester white box 165 grain tmj at a pretty good price, so I picked up a box of 100. The clerk even told me a good spot in the forest to go shooting! It was the Best Walmart experience I've ever had.
The 411 was a lot of fun to shoot! I like the full-size smiths, and the pistol seemed to like the ammo. I successfully shot a beer can about 8 feet into the air. I actually like the simple white dot on the front sight, and no dots on the rear sight. It was really easy to pick up the can by concentrating on the front sight, and not Having to worry about dots on the rear sight. Anyway, the pistol shot well enough to pretty well shred the can.
It was really good to shoot outside in the mountains. I've missed it! I also set up a tarp lean-to, made a small fire, and roasted some hot dogs. But the shooting was the best part. I'd forgotten how fun the .40 S&W can be!
