Have You Ever Shot a Gun?

I've shot many guns. My first was a .38 revolver and I shot .38 special out of it. I stepped up to a .357 and shot .38 rounds out of it before actually shooting .357s. Caught me off guard /shrug/. Favorite experience was with a 9mm. The gun was super smooth, little kick, and just felt nice to shoot... till a cartridge ejected and bounced off the range wall onto my arm. Freaked me out. Wasn't too bad, i'm just a wuss.
