Interesting, wish I could afford to load that much

I would think that Miculek, his wife Kay, and brother in law, Jim Clark, Jr. could afford to shoot factory ammo or get a sponsor to provide free ammo. I remember Miculek's first video when he was shooting reloaded .38 wadcutters that looked like they were reloaded with black powder.

It wears me out to watch Jerry shoot. I can't imagine how anyone could shoot that fast and accurately with any gun that he handles. I have heard him claim that he can pull the trigger on a revolver faster than an auto can recycle.

I don't doubt it one, little bit.

That said, watching him (on Impossible Shots) shooting two semiautos at once, very quickly with one in each hand, and hitting what he was shooting at was darned impressive, too.

not only how quickly he pulls the trigger, but check out that reload speed.  :clap:  :stunned:

I saw or read (can't really remember which - heck, maybe both) an interview with him where he said that was, basically, luck.  He said he knew the reload was where he might lose time so he just kind of 'tossed' the reload into the cylinder and got lucky that it lined up just right, slipped right in and he was able to keep things rolling.  That said, I'd say his extensive practice and training had a lot to do with generating that 'lucky' reload.

A little off topic, but a friend of mine used to shoot with Jerry and his brother years ago in Poplarville, Ms. and he said they would bring a 5 gal bucket full of .38's shoot a match and stay until they had shot them all, Jerry's brother would quit way before him. I have had the pleasure of shooting in 2 ICORE matches with Jerry. He is a down to earth fellow. And yes he could shoot factory ammo every day!!
