OK – pardon the paraphrase, but after a shoot, we religiously lay out our equipment for cleaning and maintenance. On nice days, we do this outside on the patio swing. Here, you see the guns we shot today. The handguns on the left, from top to bottom, are S&W 908 9mm pistol, Glock 26 9mm pistol, S&W 686 .357 magnum revolver and S&W 442 .38 special revolver. The shotguns are both Remington 870s – one a synthetic 7-round capacity 12 gauge and the other is a youth 20 gauge 5 round capacity.
After all the cleaning was done, the guns, now clean and lubricated, were put into their secure containers until next week at the range. All of them, that is, except for a personal firearm that we each keep close at hand.
My daughter texted me from college this morning. If I take her to the range tomorrow, she’ll come home for a visit tonight. That’s my girl.
Outstanding! When we go to the range it’s a family deal. Usually, it’s just the two of us, but sometimes our son (who doesn’t own a gun but shoots like he does) goes with us. It’s always fun for us and we’re looking forward to the next trip to the range.
