And, don't watch "SWAT" before going to shoot

Nice stance on the pistol, but way overkill with the single stack...this is MY opinion though. Just thought that I would throw in my .02 cents for what they are worth.

That's the ghettofabulous stance for shooting at a 10" target at 50yards with a 4" barreled gun. The reason I had done the singlestack instead of my previous 2-stacks is because I had no room for stacks, my toolbox, and my GN hitch, so the doublestacks went away. It's quieter in the cab, egt's dropped about 75-100 degrees, which I can only attribute to less backpressure (just due to the amount of air that is inbetween the turbo and the stacks which is all 5"... that's alot of piping to push air out of).

It's hard to catch a gun ejecting a shell with a camera phone, but I managed to do it,

Now I am not trying to be a smart *** but you need to work on that grip. You keep shooting like that and you will end up with stitches in your left thumb.

You should try the 5 inch under the truck. It would look better and be quieter in your truck too. JMO

All I know is that every truck I've seen with a single stack has been badXXX!! Maybe it's because the owner only cares about performance and not so much about looks, I don't know. If you see one, don't mess with it!!
Good job on that target. Too bad we can't see the 2000 rounds that hit around it while you were trying to get those hits!!

I really like the single stack look. Kind of tall though. Been in any parking garages lately?

What he said, John. Place your left thumb along the left side of the gun or that slide will give you a nice set of railroad tracks.

OH, I'm the skinny guy shooting over the bumper on my truck, my friend is the one shooting with the casing ejecting. I shoot with both thumbs on the left side of the grip, the top joint of my right thumb inbetween the 2nd and 3rd joint (going down) on the left hand. My friend (2nd pic) shoots better than I with that grip, so who am I to judge? :d

Also, no parking garages so I don't really worry about it. When I went up to Vegas, though, grrrrr, I had to park in parking lots 2342389472304x miles from the casino.

Haha, if it was too "Laredo" it would have more stickers than paint, one headlight out, 3 different sized tires, and be running on 4 cylinders. I used to have dual stacks (my gallery) I just did the single stack setup.

Yeah, yeah, that's it! Watch out! Not to mention a 6" stack like I've got, that must mean extra trouble...
