The man is truly amazing.

The only other shooter I've seen faster was Bob Munden...but a different type of shooting.

Jerry does his magic with 6 in this video and many more rounds in others....

The most amazing shoot I've seen of Bob's was 2 shots into 2 balloons some distance apart...from holstered and one handed single action.  had to reply to prove it was 2 shots...just could not hear two and didn't even see two..just seemed like one muzzle blast.

I subscribed to his channel...don't k now how I could go wrong.

Thanks

That barrel did not rise.. That's gotta be the gun keeping that thing down! I've never met one, let alone shot one, but I sure would like to!  :D

The one time i was fortunate enough to shoot one, I don't recall any serious muzzle rise. the recoil was suprisingly manageable. The first mag left me breathless with excitement. When the owner told me to shoot another mag, I was near in shock from the generosity. When I walked through the front door with my ear to ear grin my wife knew enough to say NO before I even said a word. It is still on the top of my ever expanding want list. No wishing, just wanting. Allmost made the collection last year.
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

That is the most incredible shot(s) I've ever seen.  RIP, Bob.

The one shot that Munden did that amazed me was opening a closed safety pin using a 1911 with 45 ACP ball, 230 gr.  He did it without deforming the safety pin.

Can't help but be impressed with his accuracy...but I see that as obtainable with practice.  

Couple that accuracy with his "Super Human" speed, which I don't think can be learned to his level, and you have, literally unbelievable performance.  Took replays and slow motion video for me to believe I saw him do what he did.

You don't need to worry too much about follow-up shots with that thing. (Even if you miss!!)

I watched the video of his first shots with that thing and that smile is pretty much universal, isn't it..
That big, almost fake looking shit-eatin-grin with your mouth flopped open, trying to find something intelligent to say, but not wanting to ruin the moment..
I had that reaction with the M-2 and the S&W 500..
I saw him running that Smith 500 on a metal target on a post (that wasn't supposed to fall) and it rocked a little and just fell flat..
What a job that guy has!!!  ;D
