We missed our weekly trip to the shooting range last week since we were out of town. This week, however, we made up for the missed fun last week.
Firearms Inventory

We brought both .38 special and .357 magnum ammo for the revolver. We put up a target and started off with the revolver. We then mixed it up with all the handguns. I think we shot a total of 90 rounds of 9mm through both the S&W 908 and the Glock 26, about the same number of .45ACP through the Para Warthog and Glock 30. We also put 20 rounds of .38 special and 20 rounds of .357 magnum through the 686. At the end of the session, we each put 25 rounds through each of the Remingtons.
The Para Warthog did very well today. Towards the end of the session, she got a little dry and one round failed to feed. A quick drop of oil on the top of the receiver and racking it a few times fixed that problem and she fed the rest of the session without incident.
Sounds like it was fun as usual. That thing about the Para Warthog would still have me concerned though. Just too many intermittent hang-ups for me; grab something else for home defense should you ever need it…and hopefully you will never have that need.
For home defense, we both keep our revolvers handy – my S&W 686 .357 and her S&W 442 .38+p. The Warthog is strictly a sporting pistol these days. Damsel likes the gun even though it requires more TLC than the Glocks. I shot a magazine through her ‘hog and it seems to hit where I aim it – it is a nice little pistol.
How you like your G26? I sure like mine and my G30.
