This week we took the following firearms to the range: Para Warthog (.45 ACP), S&W 908 (9mm), S&W 442 (.38 SPL), and the Glocks – G26 (9mm) and G30 (.45 ACP). We also brought Remington 870 shotguns – a 20 gauge ‘youth model’ and a 7-shot ‘security gun.’
This was the day for misfeeds, I guess. The Para, which had been working mostly flawlessly the last several outings, suddenly had numerous misfeeds. Nothing serious and a little lube fixed it for the most part. It happened using the same ammo and under all the same conditions as before. The biggest peculiarity today was the Glock 30 had a misfeed. Move your cursor over the image above to see the Glock 30 with a round stuck halfway into the chamber.
We had a pretty busy day today. We wanted to get our target practice session in before coming home to enjoy the Superbowl festivities. After shooting, we religiously clean up the firearms and get everything ready for the next shootout. In addition to the fun chores, the lawn needed to be mowed. But, we managed to get everything done and were ready to sit down and enjoy the big game.
Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers on their Superbowl XLIII victory.
