Get him one of theses, the new Para 1911 SSP!
My Dad’s done a lot for me over the years and it was time for some pay back. Guns aren’t new to us; however we’ve only taken up pistol shooting within the last few years. This morning we decided to get some range time in before the rain and I set him up! He was firing away with his S&W target .22 when I handed him a clip of .45’s. I told him he needed bigger bullets to hit the damn target! He looked puzzled and said he had nothing to shoot .45’s and that’s when I handed him the 1911. I wish you could have seen his smile. At first he was a little intimidated, but after the first 8 shots, all within a 4” group at 15 yards, he was a believer! Needless to say, the next 42 shots fired from his new beauty like silk. The guns awesome and Dad’s grinning like a school boy again! Family time is precious, I appreciate my time at the range more now than ever before.
