Welcome to the card carrying "show card to pass a metal detectors club" lol.So after 5 months of no range time including 2.5 months of PT after shoulder replacement I made it to the indoor range for some quality time with my Emissary 45ACP and my Elite Compact 3.8 10mm I’m very happy to report no shoulder pain from recoil although I do have more work to do on strength in my left (support) arm and found I was a little shaky.
Starting with the Emissary.
I shot four (3) round groups.
1st group

Not the tightest but I love that 1911
2nd group

Getting better.
3rd group
View attachment 30651
Hmmm like I said shaky.
4th group.
View attachment 30652
So overall not the tightest four groups
But very happy with the results after 5 months.
Now for my 10mm Elite. At first not very happy, I should mention that I was standing shooting the Emissary and shot my first group with the 10mm standing and I was all over the place and low.
1st group View attachment 30653
More then 3 shots as I was surprised I was so far off POA following this group I decided to sit and bench rest my arms.
2nd group.
View attachment 30654
Better but I also decided to adjust my red dot and got better POI versus POA.
3rd group
View attachment 30655
Better but still low so I made another adjustment to the Red Dot and replaced the target.
4th round back to standing.
View attachment 30656
Better but not tight.
I had 10mm rounds left over so shot more standing, no pictures.
Overall not great but not to bad, need to definitely start going to the range more often but I’m very happy with no shoulder pain.
Next will be my M1A at the outdoor range next weekend weather permitting.

I don’t see myself flying anytime soon but I did have an appointment at City Hall recently to see the councilman for my district and set off the walk through metal detector, the security guard then used the Wand on me. The look on his face was priceless when the wand went off when passed over my shoulder.
My response was “Bionic Arm”
Interestingly I was also open carrying which is allowed in government buildings in Kentucky and I also was an armed guard at City Hall for awhile so I knew protocol. The guard still called police and I called the councilman that I was being delayed in the lobby. The councilman stepped out of the elevator just as 3 Deputy Sheriff’s showed up, I knew all 3 from my time as a guard and everything was ok.
When I was leaving the guard said to me that next time don’t bring a gun into “my” building, I laughed and said your job is to observe and report, learn the rules, don’t be a jerk.
