Well it’s bath time again – which means a range trip happened – Yay!
left to right – RIA 1911 / S&W M&P 45acp Compact / S&W 40caliber Shield / Beretta 80X
Oh you dirty little thing . . .
4 mags out of the new Rock Island after the grip replacement – the first 3 mags – Point/Shoot – the last mag I actually let the sights drift into the target picture – the ones in the small center diamond and the 3 drifting down and right . . . I would say the grips and the bit of white paint on the front sights seems to work good . . .
Finally got the S&W M&P out to play – the compact 45acp that I got 6(?) months ago – it runs good – but the recoil on it is more than a Shield in 45acp – go figure . . .
My Blushing Bride even tried out her rebuilt eye ball with the Beretta 80X – not bad considering this is the first time she been able to see good enough to shoot in about three years . . .
And now for something a little different – S&W 40 caliber Shield – but – with a 357SIG conversion barrel – Muzzle blast? – Oh Hell Yes! – Fireball? You Bet! – Distracting on a lit range – will try to get to an outdoor range at night after it warms up this spring and get you folks some video – it should be quite a sight!
Picked the barrel up from TR Enabling awhile back – really don’t shoot it much – 357SIG is NOT a cheap date! Really fun – but not cheap!
Got a really neat range trip coming – taking a safe queen out on a date – only had a box of 50 rounds for it so I really never did a “real” range trip with it – a few rounds here and there – but – I found some in stock and it should be in hand by the weekend. With any room in my schedule ( I thought retirement was supposed to be all this free time and shit! – right? ) I will try for a Tuesday range day – Oh Boy!
All y’all know I shoot a bunch of odd calibers – and they were the first to dry up with the dempanic – some of them were real slow to become available again – but they are dribbling back into the market in big enough quantities they are becoming affordable again – bottom line – you really never know what is going to show up on a range trip!
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!
