Two out of our three shotguns have a magazine capacity of four rounds with a fifth in the chamber. It’s only natural that we usually load up our six plus one capacity 12 gauge with only four rounds in the magazine. Every once in a while, however, we put all seven rounds in the gun.
As you will see when you play the video, it can be easy to lose track of how many are loaded. Damsel discovers her seventh round has yet to be discharged.
Range report
With the current ammunition shortage, many ranges, including the one we use, have taken to the practice of rationing ammunition. Our local proprietor has established a rule that you can buy a limited amount of ammunition only if you pay the range fees, whether you shoot or not.
We showed up there yesterday and bought 100 rounds of .45 before going into the range with our pistols (her Warthog and my G-30). We only shot 50 rounds each. We were in and out of the range in under an hour.
Hope the ammo logjam breaks. We’re going to shop for some over in Arizona this week as we head for the NRA Convention and the BASH.
Man, if I ever go criminal I hope to never be the poor jerk who trys to victimize Mrs. Damsel. Nice shooting Ma’am!
Ha! I hope for your sake you never go ‘criminal’ Bulldada
She says thanks for the compliment.
Good freakin’ luck finding ammo here. Cabela’s has been pretty good for EBR ammo as of late, but they (and everyone else) have been utterly and completely out of pistol ammo for months, save for boxes of $1/rnd self-defense ammo.
If this keeps up, I’m plopping myself down on a freeway off-ramp with a “Will work for primers” sign…
That’s not good news, Kevin.
We’ll try some places out here in Taxifornia that may have a shipment or two today.
We’ll know who it is when we see your sign on the off-ramp.
