Sunday’s trip to the range went well for the most part. We had a couple of misfeeds with Damsel’s Warthog, but both happened when we used the ‘funky’ magazine – the one with the ‘pinkie extension.’ It’s not a stock Para magazine and the plastic cap on the bottom of the magazine does not fit very well. I think it’s time to get a stock Para Cap and re-spring that magazine. Damsel also was a bit critical of her grip when it had the stovepipe seen here. The other 98 rounds went through the Warthog without incident. <\/p>\n
We also took my Glocks, the G26 9mm and the G30 .45 – 100 rounds went through each of those as well. I used the first silhouette target I put up at seven yards to do some “Mozambique” practice with the Glock 30 – two to the chest, one to the head, with the 10th round back to the chest. I did OK with that – the holes in the target are discernible in the accompanying image, but less than optimum – next time I will bring a sheet of yellow or green paper to put behind the target to improve visibility of the holes.<\/p>\n
We also brought a couple of S&W guns with us – my 686 .357 revolver and my 908 9mm semi-automatic. We shot a little more than 50 rounds of .38 special through the revolver – since it’s a 7-round capacity cylinder, there is always a left-over round out of a box of 50 rounds. <\/p>\n
The little ‘workhorse’ – the 908 9mm, saw about 50 rounds of ammo as well. The 908s are great little guns – they never complain as long as you replace the spring guide and recoil spring once in a while.<\/p>\n
Finally, we took out the 12 and 20 gauge Remington 870s and shot up a couple more silhouette targets with 25 rounds of each gauge. I took some videos of Damsel shooting her 20 gauge and our 12 gauge, but I inadvertently had the little Canon A710 on a ‘color swap’ setting and the videos didn’t turn out well so they weren’t suitable to post.<\/p>\n
The ammo report: last week I was unable to buy .45 reloads – this week they had them but no 9mm reloads. Fortunately, we had some on hand that we bought at a local sports emporium.<\/p>\n
One thing that can be said about this session: Damn, it was a good time, satisfying and a lot of fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
