What were you listening to on your favorite July 4th ??

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Out of the Closet – H&R 922

An oldie but Goodie – Manufactured in 1950 . . .

It really was not in bad shape as found – cleaned it thoroughly – slathered CLP on it – let it set for a week – then re-cleaned – came out nice . . . ( ran the bore scope down the barrel but didn’t grab any pics – but the bore is real clean )

6 1/2 inch barrel ( barrel length is measured from the force cone ) – target grips and front sight . . .

Enough weight that there is virtually no recoil – it’s a .22 – what are you expecting??

The neatest part – it has the plastic grips and they are not all beat up – most had wood grips and the ones with plastic grips intact are hard to find – not rare by any stretch and the wood target grip models are more numerous – it’s just fun to find one with the plastic grips intact . . .

A good look at the “target” model front sight . . .

And the precision rear sight – LMAO !! – actually at arms length the notch rear and front blade work good together . . .

And in favor of keeping costs down – no loading gate – less steps to produce the pistol . . .

When the cylinder is indexed the chamber are off set from the loading gate . . .

Double action trigger pull is somewhere between 14 lbs and OMG !! – Single action is a decent break at just over 4 lbs . . .

Take down is simple as can be – push the little lever and pull the pin and out drops the cylinder . . .

In keeping with the style of the times – it’s far easier and cheaper to replace a center “bushing” ( not an extractor on this model ) than the entire cylinder when worn . . .

And if you get a stubborn case that won’t “fall” out – the cylinder pin can be used to push it out – simple as it gets . . .

Can hardly wait to shoot it – the hardest part will be finding the right brand and bullet weight that it likes – no doubt in my mind the old darling will achieve “minute of bunny rabbit” accuracy at 25 plus yards – the burning question is can I ??

Folks – check your closets – there a gazillion or so nice old guns out there – all looking for a little bit of TLC . . .

What’s in YOUR closet??

Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are Cheap!!

Range Stuff – Odds & Ends

Actually remembered to get a couple of pics . . .

Indoor stuff at Inner10 . . .

My blushing bride from 7 yards with the Colt CCS 9mm . . .

She is doing good with center of mass – the transition work – not so good – gonna start working on transitions more – she is moving the pistol and her sight picture at the same time which over runs the target – then she has to reacquire the sight/target picture and that lends itself to misses – we will start this week with moving the eyes to the target “picture” then moving the pistol – once you do it enough times it is much faster and more accurate – in practice there is virtually no lag between target pic and then target/sight pic and firing – but it takes practice . . . Damn Bruce – there you go with that P word again!!

Got some rapid fire time with both snubbys – NO – NOT dual wielding – empty one and drop it the grab the other and empty it – this is 30 rounds @ 7 yards rapid fire . . . Went upper left – upper right – lower right -lower left then center . . .

Yeah I know that’s 31 holes – I had one round left with me – dumped it on the lower left – I really am not noticing a big difference between the Ergo Grips and the factory grips with 125 grain +p stuff – but running 158 grain +p ammo there is a world of difference – I mean do you want to use your hand to drive home with difference!!

Ergo Grips on top – factory grips on the bottom . . .

And not to upset the snowflakes out there – yes both are loaded – I took them out of my pockets to take the pic !! ( Really?? Not upset someone ?? Just who in the Hell do you think you are fooling Bruce ?? ) We all know you well enough to know that you’re not happy unless you upset at least one person every day !! . . . Yeah – about that upset one snowflake a day thing – I checked the tally sheets and I am roughly 162 years ahead on that – one a day ?? What the hell ?? – those are amateur numbers . . .

The Ergo Grips are really cool on a couple of points – especially when working with newer shooters – they force your wrist to “lock” -if everything else is “lined up” – that variable is eliminated – they also do a GREAT job of mitigating recoil – it sometimes takes a new shooter a while to realize that nothing is broken or damaged and Ergo Grips help with that quite a bit . . .

Chicken ranch stuff – nope ( it is kind of a mess as the range is going through a revamp at this time ) – there is a huge pile of stuff about from about 4 yards to 10 yards and about 20 feet wide – trying to get the mess out of the way and redo the back stop – the hard part is getting everyone’s schedules to overlap – hopefully get that done one first fine week and get some more “stuff” posted . . .

Have Fun! ( some people actually get upset if they see someone enjoying themselves )

Run the Gun! ( PRACTICE – PRACTICE – PRACTICE ) ( DAMN – that P word again )

and remember . . .

Fish Heads are Cheap!! ( and for those of you who have inquired – Fuck Em if they can’t take a joke – Fuck Em if they can take a joke – But whatever YOU do – Fuck Em !! – Fuck Em and feed Em fish heads – Why Fish Heads?? ‘Cause Fish Heads are Cheap!! )

and now you know . . .
