	I've been shooting pistols since I was 13 (GASP!  The HORROR!). 
Right
now I currently own a Taurus PT-92 (A Brazilian clone of the the Berreta
92F) and a Springfield Armory 1911A1.  My father likes to boast that I
probablly can shoot better than most cops he has seen, but I haven't
meet very many police officers out on the range to be able to judge. 
With the 9 mm, I can hold a 1 inch group at 15 yards.  The .45 is giving
me a little bit of trouble, as it shoots incredible low (though it does
continue to put them in the center of the target) even when fired from a
bench rest.  Dad says that I will have to file down the front sight
(something that will ruin the finish) or get a new sight all together.
