Clark,

Someone will have to pay me (in advance) to shoot this pistol again ! Or, at least make it worth my while.

No, the pistol didn't hit my head, but when I looked at the video in slo-mo, sure looked like it. Must have just missed me. My right wrist and hand are a bit sore today.

The scope did suffer a bit of damage when it hit the concrete flooring. Not too worried about the scope, it's cosmetic only. The weaver scope and SSK mount held up very well considering what happened. I recommend this combination to anyone shooting a "handcannon". No damage to the gun.

Since chambering a pistol in .600 Nitro Express is practically uncharted territory, I've decided to ship the gun, fired brass, etc to the barrel maker for a quick inspection of the chamber, locking lug, and the frame just to be on the safe side. So, if I ever get the notion (or finishing off a 6-pack of Bass Ale) to shoot it again, I'll be confident in the pistol's safety.

By the way, the other shooter kept the paper target as a momento.
