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

This morning at the range, I had my STI VIP, Beretta / Wilson 92G compact, and a Glock 19.
Heading out to a match soon with my 2011. :)

Shooting my STI .40 once again, and if the squad in front of us wasn't so damn slow, I wouldn't be posting on a forum. :(

Today I shot a “hose fest” match. Stages as high as 60 rounds. Had to leave the single stacks home for this one. Shot my SV Open gun.

Best run for me was a 52 round stage in 16.66 seconds. Also, got to like the time, being it was a Halloween themed match. :p

Just bought a Walther PPS M2 new for $2.99. Going to try it out today...
$2.99! Holy crap! Best. Deal. Ever. :geek:

Where do I get one at that price. :confused:

Well, not today, yesterday, Colt Python 6", EDC X9, and Wilson / Beretta 92G Compact.

My EDC X9 is around 1400 already... and I've only had it about a month. Maybe I need a second. :grin:

Another 150 rnds through the new Wilber CenTac. Everything 100% except for that P.O.S. 20 rnd magazine. It was better this time, only 3 FTRTB.

Which 20 round magazine are you using?
Met up with some friends that we introduced to handguns a couple months ago. I was quite impressed how far they’ve come along.

Anyway, I brought

Cabot S100,
Shadow 2,
EGW worked 1991A1,
S&W 586,
EDC X9 (of course :grin:)
CX4 Storm

She brought
92FS (my recommendation)
Ruger SR22

He brought
Dan Wesson Valor (my recommendation)
HK VP9

So we had a pretty nice selection.

Just got back from a steel knockdown match. It’s the first outdoor match I’ve shot in a TShirt in 5 months.

I shot my new-to-me S&W 929, and STI .40.

Pics and results?
I didn’t take pics at the match.

I shot my carry gear, left the gamey stuff at home. Can be seen here.

I signed up for CCP, with the precondition that I’d check the gun in the “box”. Unfortunately, they didn’t bring the box, and told me don’t worry about it. :(

Of course, I wanted to know for sure.

Came in second overall in the CCP division. This was my first IDPA match under the new rule book.

Tuesday, I as a little pressed for time, but managed to squeeze off 160 rnds through my Wilber CEN-TAC. I had a few fliers but the gun ran like a sewing machine, with zero faults. I have the Ultra thin black cherry grips now & it feels even better.

Pictured gun looks like a compact, not Centurion Tactical.
Yesterday - Millenium Custom STI Limited gun - USPSA Match - Train Wreck (me, not the gun)

Today - Les Baer Premier II 9mm - Steel Match - First Place (Redemption:D)

I just wasn't used to the 4',9oz trigger. All my other range guns are in the <3" area.
I actually wish mine was that heavy. I’m under 4#.
After about a year of gathering dust, I dusted off the old SV open gun and shot back to back matches this weekend, taking a first and second place finish, respectfully.

This gem certainly has some mileage.

Another rainy weekend, another cancelled match. :madashell:
Been in the Hospital the last 4 days and counting. Would you believe this place doesn’t have an indoor shooting range?

Wait, what? You got sent to a hospital without a range?

Seriously though, you OK?
I know, right?

Pretty bad case of Pneumonia.
Dayum Bucky, nebulize some "18 yr old Single Malt" & get healthy brother.

Side note: what kind of hick town do you live in....no range in the hospital....jeeesh:D I have "TRUMP CARE" & we have a 500 yd , 50BMG range in ours:smurggrin:

Thanks for the good wishes. That means something.

Now let’s get the name of your hospital, and see if I can get air lifted in.

ETA: I might not even be in America. Every time they take my temperature, it’s in Celsius
