Had a friend, Jerry, who had a Lugar pistol and a balsa surf board in 1960. Found the 1900’s clever toggle bolt was mechanical mess compared to the same short recoil tilt barrel 1900’s simple 1911 .45 with more power. 9MM simply folded up in line of sight but did absorb recoil in the pistol hand for quick rapid fire. USAF at the time was into S&W .357 with reduced .38 special for aircrews. Near impossible to screw up the double action no safety needed. I got really good in a few years flight training school after school. I could never get up on the board at Santa Cruz point where a lot of the modern development took place in he Woodie wagon era. Damn thing was wild to recapture so who cares. Go ride the Rolley Coaster for thrills and the same girls grab you for safety for the ticket price. Lesson learned. Do what you are good at. No co-ordination need apply.
