Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 That’s how the Army taught us to shoot the 1911 in the sixties. Weak hand in pocket or on hip. Double handed stuff came in later. In the seventies at the police academy it was two hand hold at any distance over 1 1/2yards 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides in other angles of him shooting he is wearing standard ear plugs which I am sure is more than sufficient to protect him from whatever noise is produced by these handguns.

bgavin Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Good thought. I have a Feinwerkbau Model 65 pellet gun. Incredibly accurate, recoilless and noiseless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Indeed, an air pistol. I do appreciate that the guy isn't using all of the terminator crap that many others use. Looks like a regular Joe. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/2024-olympics-meet-yusuf-dikeç-the-latest-viral-star-of-the-glasses-olympics/ar-BB1r1jiU?ocid=BingNewsSerp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Dikec Yusuf, who only recently took up shooting after a particularly heated argument with his ex-wife, credits his success to his newfound passion for seeing his kids and a relentless drive to prove his ex wrong. "I never thought I'd be here," Yusuf said, shrugging nonchalantly. "I was just aiming for a weekend with the kids." The 52-year-old, who works as a mechanic in a small garage in Istanbul, first picked up a gun during a particularly frustrating divorce mediation. His unorthodox approach – no specialty gear, no training regimen, and a wardrobe consisting of his everyday jeans and a T-shirt – has baffled professional shooters. "He just shows up, shoots a near perfect round, and then asks if there's a smoking area nearby." After winning silver, Yusuf stood emotionless on the Olympic podium and declared, "Sharon, if you're watching this, I want my dog back." 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Sounds like a great guy to go shooting with. I have been shooting Rimfire Benchrest Matches. Last weekend every guy there, besides myself, had really nice and really expensive guns, rests and accessories. One gent came over and was checking out my CZ 457 Stainless and my cheap scope. He said “You have the right idea. I hope you never get the equipment race bug. You did pretty well in this match and the last one I saw you at here. How long have you been shooting Rimfire Benchrest?” I said “This match and thee last one you saw me at.” He grinned and said “Keep it up. Don’t let these guys get you into the equipment race.” The average non-factory guns in these matches cost $3K and up. I like to keep things simple. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I hate guys like that. I can't stick a pistol's muzzle in a bucket of water and make a splash. I'm high mediocre with a rifle and better than most with a shotgun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
