Ruger target, 50rds at 7yds. The low shots were the first ones. The rest were after I made my self slow down and focus

Model 57 target, 12 rds at 7yds. My first go 'round with the .41 Magnum and I can certainly see the attraction

That's some excellent shooting from 25 yards! :thumbs:

Shot the 40 round HR 218 (Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act) course required by the State of Florida so I can continue to carry concealed under HR 218. As retired Law Enforcement I have to qualify ever year to carry concealed. The course is left up to the State you're in - as far as I know all States require you to pass the minimum course set up for active duty Law Enforcement to carry a gun. I scored 100%. It continues to baffle me that most States only require shooting for a concealed carry permit/license one time but as retired Law Enforcement I have to qualify every single year. Oh well, it's an excuse to shoot - I just don't like the fee and the hassle of trying to find a place/instructor to shoot the course. This year I had to drive 2.5 hours each way to get there and back but the instructor was a super nice guy. Strict, but very cool!

I shot the Staccato C today. 150 rounds of 115 Gr. FMJ. Running smooth - only minor issue was a couple of time the slide didn’t lock open on an empty mag.

The wife put about 100 rounds through her M&P Shield .380ez. She’s really starting to like shooting. Proud of her!

Went to our usual indoor range and it was really crowded today with new shooters. The range had extra RSO’s out today and Safety was good.

Shot the Staccato C and the CZ Shadow 2. Didn't get to shoot for very long as I got on the range about 30 minutes before they closed. Had plenty of mags preloaded though.:)

On a side note, I figured out why both of our Staccato C's were not locking open on an empty mag from time to time. If I use the 8 round STI mags that came with the guns they lock open every time but with the 9 round Wilson Combat mags they do not.

Went to Low Country Preserve Shooting Range today with my Staccato P DUO. The weather was beautiful - 10-15 degrees cooler than we’ve had in at least 2 months. Shot 250 rounds of Blazer Brass 147 grain FMJ. My shooting today while fun, was horrible from an accuracy standpoint. I was slapping at the trigger like it had just insulted my Mom. Did some both hands, left hand only and right hand only work. I’ll post some target pictures - keep in mind I was only 15 yards out. Not very impressive today as you can see.

Yesterday I went to a LGS that had Walther and STI reps there with guns to shoot. Unfortunately I got so wound up I didn’t take any pics. Shot the Walther Steel Frame Q5 and really liked it. If I was going to be a mainly striker type guy I would get one - already have a PPS and PPQ for carry.

Main reason I went was to look at the STIs. Shot the DVC-C and the Staccato-P. Both were really nice and I liked the feel of the 2011 frame. I brought along my Dan Wesson PM9 with a red dot to compare these guns to - I shoot the DW incredibly well. Reinforced my love for my DW. But, if you want more capacity in a 1911 package then an STI is an excellent choice. Finished up by shooting the compensated DVC-P. Holy cow, that gun is amazing! Almost no muzzle rise - you pull the trigger, it goes bang, and the front fiber optic sight is just sitting there on target ready to go again! I shot it almost as well as my optic equipped gun that I’m familiar with. And the DVC-P is milled for optics. Only downside is the price, $3,999. Don’t know if I need one that bad.

I’ve got a DVC Carry HOST and a Trijicon RMR type 2 on the way from Jess at The Wichita Gun Club. Looking forward to getting it on the range! :happy:

Put the first 250 rounds through my DVC Carry today. 10, 15 & 20 yards. Freedom Munitions ProMatch 135 & 124 grain XAP. In the first 25 rounds I had 2 failure to feeds, 1 stovepipe and it failed to lock open when empty on the first 2 mags. The next 225 rounds were flawless and after the first 2 mags they all locked open when empty as expected. :thumbs:

I love having my RMR on my P-01, nothing helps more with my older eyes than a dot.
Same here!

I resisted it for a long time but now I’m hooked. I can see far away just fine but with age I’ve had to start using reading glasses. To me this presents a potential problem in a self-defense situation. Uh, hang on while I put my readers on so I can see the front sight (of course with the readers on now I can’t see Far away because of the glasses). Red dot sight took care of that problem wonderfully. :thumbs:
