Had some range time this weekend.

Nagant 7.62x54, 200 rounds and my shoulder feels like Tyson gave me 2 for flinching

P-64 9x18, 150 rounds that tore up my thumb really good (bought and sold back to store same day)

Deagle 44 magnum, 8 rounds that I now owe my friend a dinner at Chipotle for

Picked up a Springfield XDM 9mm while I was there. With trade ins I had half the value paid for.
When they pulled out the case and I saw all the goodies that came with it (holster, 2 - 19 rnd mags,
double mag holster, lock, bore brush, lazy clip loader) I was sold. Case is real nice too. laughed when
I saw it had a space cut out for a silencer. Didn't get to try it out, and can't wait to do so.
Used to have a HK USP 9mm, and I think this gun is a bit nicer than that one.

Picture off a dealers website

nice purchase. like the looks of a lot of those new pistols, but I can't bring myself to buy on of those hamerless guns!!!

Shrouded hammer on a 357/38 is useful for drawing it pocketed..

Not sure where the usefulness is in a full size self loader,
would be happier if this one had a de-cock since the hammer is missing. (no safety either)

But I'll get by

No twirling it on one finger like a cowboy. Unless it unloaded... but where's the fun in that.

train the dolphin to use a mortar

For some reason this reminds me of Redneck Rampage Rides Again, where you use a crossbow, but instead of shooting arrows, you shoot chickens with lit sticks of TNT shoved up their asses.

speaking of chickens with TNT in their asses... ah nevermind.

Went to the trap range two weekends back and blew through a couple hundred rounds of 12ga with my pump.
I was using some cheap ass federal loads and out of 200 I had one surprise shell that just did not sound or feel like the rest.

Instead of the nice muted "blam" sound I was used to, I got a loud sharp crack that sounded like I'd loaded one of my reloads with 38 grains of bluedot.

Left a good mark on my shoulder too.

If you can't eat it, why shoot it?

|iR|Focalor · « **Reply #11 on:** July 11, 2009, 09:08:22 PM »

I don't eat bottles and beer cans, but I still shoot at them.

No glass allowed at the range (50 dollar fine)

everything else is fair game, had a fridge there one of the last times.

Any "pet load" recipes for 12 ga. 7 1/2 or 8 shot loads you can pass on? Like for shooting dove?
