I had a guy at an outdoor range yell at me one time. had been shooting a bolt action 22 rifle, and switched to my G17. naturally, the brass goes farther, and was landing around him (didn't hit him)

Him & his buddy yell at me to move, because I shouldn't shoot a pistol there, it could send brass near them. told them "no problem" and cased up my g17.

Pulled out my beretta storm, and continued to do the same thing.

No partitions, I've been hit by other peoples brass, I accept it as a risk you take shooting at that particular range. Had they asked nicely instead of yelling at me I probably would have just gone back to the .22.

yes, I know this will make a lot of people on this board think I'm a jerk for what I did and I'm okay with that.
