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

Went to my indoor range yesterday with the Wilson EDC X9L and the Sig P320 MAX. They had a Smith and Wesson carry gun demo going on - M&P9 2.0 4" (Compact?), Shield EZ and a Shield Plus, 5 free shots each at 7 yds. I have a M&P9 2.0 3.6" (Sub-compact) so surprised I didn't shoot the 4" better. The EZ sights were definitely off - took 2 shots just to find where to aim! And surprised how well I shot the Shield Plus. I SUCKED WIND with both of my own pistolas! :mad:

I was thinking pistol but two other guys reported to me today that they had the same problems with the same Aguila Super Extra Ammo. Glad I don't have a lot of it.
Was it the hollow point or round nose version? A couple of our 22s have probelms with some hollow points. Their Super Extra (HV) round nose have been great for us.
Steel at the club yesterday. Gotta' be tough in Michigan!

This commander was very tight. Put 742 rounds through it from when I picked it up yesterday and today. Target was the last 28 rounds i fired through the commander. The 586 is also incredibly accurate.

That's the way to loosen her up! Looks like she's smooth now, and you're not too bad either!
Snow all melted and the Mrs. and I went out back for a few Christmas mags.

Took some time this morning and headed to the range. Love this gun there's 14 in the big hole. View attachment 891207
And my full time truck gun. Which has developed a first round nose dive problem with my HST's???? Looking for some Mec-Gar mags as the EAA ones are known for this apparently. View attachment 891219

Well the weatherman says our pretty days are going to end quickly, so got three out of the safe for a little backyard range time this afternoon. DW Valkyrie Commander .45acp, EB Executive Carry .45acp and SW MP 2.0 Compact 9mm. All shots are pretty much rested at 10 yards. Seems like I have or over the years have had about every kind of striker fire. I don't see much praise for these M&Ps compared to Blocks. I kinda like this MP Compact even with the mushy striker trigger.

I really like my little M&P 2.0 Compact. I do like my Sig P365 trigger a little better, though. Both are pretty good for striker fired.

Surprisingly, I had the range all to myself for most of the time yesterday. Just 2 ROs sitting there looking bored stiff! I hadn't shot these 2 in a while. The Sig 320MAX I use to shoot steel so I should have done better, but haven't shot it since November. Obviously in need of some dry fire work this winter! The trigger isn't baaaaad but this one is going out for work next week. The Shadow 2 Orange I haven't shot in over a year. It fits my hand better and definitely has a better trigger. Hope the Sig Guy works some magic on the 320 trigger.

Warmed up here yesterday so I went out back for the first 18 rounds right out of the box at 10yds. I think I'll keep it. :p

Dug out of the snow on Thursday but got to the range on Friday. My new DW Guardian and my CZ Shadow 2 Orange. Only 150 rounds through the DWG so far. Intermittent slide lock back issues with DW and Wilson mags but I figure that will smooth out with more rounds. The CZ has been lights out since I sent the first lead out of the barrel!

That is dedication!!!!! Shoveling the driveway at home, then shoveling the range to shoot.
It was damn cold on the fingers finding all the brass!

Was there more shoveling involved? lol :D
We didn't want to waste time so we just packed down the snow and threw out the tarp to catch brass. Don't usually get a couple days like that to shoot in February.

Needed to function test the Ronin with a different loading. 5 rounds, roughly 15 yards. Going to be at least another month before I put a holster back on and start shooting seriously.

View attachment 937249
At least you got to have a little fun. Looks like the loading worked out well, too!
