I attribute my noticing it to more practice keeping my eyes open during shooting. Now if he had done the same, he might not have mistook his tremor for recoil and muzzle flip, or those light-like images you see when you close your eyes for the pistol spitting flames.Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-90235377929948334912015-04-07T21:53:36.398-04:002015-04-07T21:53:36.398-04:00The only .22 I've fired that had any appreciab...The only .22 I've fired that had any appreciable muzzle flash was my little Taurus PT-22. Barrel is so short that with Federal bulk .22LR it dumps most of the powder out the muzzle while it is still burning. No blue flame just a yellow fireball that lights up an indoor range.<br />That Salon story is a work of fiction.Hat Trickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789313677285831256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-80005234307820787602015-04-07T18:25:25.448-04:002015-04-07T18:25:25.448-04:00He's lying!

I've shot .45 ACP's that didn't have the kind of muzzle flash described here.
