This morning we took off for the gun show. We haven’t been for almost six months, and had a list of things we needed to get. Well, we scored everything on the list and then some. At the left is a montage of three items that we brought home with us today.<\/p>\n
The first panel is a close-up of some .38 special factory reloads that we got – 500 rounds at a reasonable price. They didn’t have any 158 grain .357 reloads, so we settled for the .38 rounds – they’re only going to be used for target practice anyway.<\/p>\n
In the next panel, something not on the list – a nice T-shirt with a warm and fuzzy message. Damsel really needed that, so we got it. They had a lot of funny and interesting T-shirts, including one that had a picture of a Harley Davidson Motorcycle and a caption that said “You never see a motorcycle parked outside of a psychiatrist’s office.” If I were still riding, I might have picked that one up.<\/p>\n
On the bottom is sort of an experiment. Damsel’s Para Warthog is a bit finicky sometimes about the ammo we use – it likes new ammo better than reloads. So, we bought 500 rounds of Wolf, which is Russian-made .45 ACP ammo. I guess we’ll see how well a Canadian Pistol works with Russian cartridges. My Glock 30 doesn’t seem to care, so we bought 500 rounds of reloaded .45 ACP ammo for it.<\/p>\n
One gentleman standing next to us at the ammo concession bought 500 rounds of .38 special wadcutters – he was complaining about how his home town had an ordinance that restricts purchases of ammo to a mere 50 rounds per month. He is from – none other than – San Francisco<\/strong>. Poor guy has to come 400 miles to purchase wadcutters – mostly ineffective as anything other than target rounds. The asswipes that run ‘Frisco have no clues, I guess.<\/p>\n It was lots of fun going to the show today. We’re looking forward to the next one in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This morning we took off for the gun show.
