We got to the range today just as they were opening; we wanted to finish our outing so we could get home to watch the NFC Championship Game. When we got to the range, it seemed that others had the same idea, because there were more shooters than usual for opening time. Nonetheless, we got a booth and set up for handgun practice.
We shot close to the usual number of rounds except I forgot to bring the second box of 9mm ammo; we did without them, however, since we had plenty of .38 special and shot the revolver more than usual.
We had two anomalies – I should say “I” since Damsel’s shooting went without a flaw. One anomaly I had was a failure to feed when I was shooting Damsel’s Warthog. A little lube fixed the problem and all was normal after that. The second problem was a .45 round didn’t fire in the Glock 30. I ejected the magazine and the unspent round and saw that there was a dimple in the primer. When I reloaded the dimpled round back into the magazine, It fired normally. Damsel took a close up of the spent cartridge. You can see that the primer has two strikes on it. The .45 ammo I used in the Glock today was commercial reloads – we get a dud once in a great while.
