Carry Ammo Turnover

You gotta change out the carry ammo from time to time, it doesn’t last forever.
If you’ve been around here for very long, you know the drill.
10 yards, standing unsupported, 5 rounds in a playing card, no timer.
And you should be able to “make the shot”

9mm first. S&W M&P full size with a chop job and stippling, white dot sights. Underwood 124 grn +P

S&W 586 L-Comp with action done by Bob Munden, DA hammer by me. Federal finally made an HST in 357 magnum, 154 grain. It really likes this load a lot.

The Monster. S&W 629PC 44 magnum. Action done by Denny Reichard (RIP) DA hammer by me. Federal HST 230 grain 44Mag.

And of course the 45ACP. Springfield Armory Champion Operator. Refinish and work don’t by Novak. Speer 230 grain Gold Dot.

need another target

The Beloved. Pistol Dynamics Custom XO, fluted barrel, active recoil plug, hand made, custom serial number. The lovey wife bought this one for an anniversary (I don’t remember which) Underwood 230 grain +P Gold Dot.

It shoots anything very well. Custom grips by Wicked Grips.

even a bad day at the range is better than a good day at work.

Sirloin Tips for Rest Day

Well, ya gotta eat. Eat well.

Sear the tips first.

Garlic, Fungus, Beef Broth.

Super secret proprietary seasoning. I can tell you, but then I have to kill you.

I’m cheating, I’m not making this stuff.

Good Stuff

9mm day

It’s been a while, time for a range day. Everything is 115 grain Blazer brass range stuff.
10 yards, standing, unsupported.

Glock 17, reworked a few times by now. 10 rounds fast.

How about a playing card. 5 rounds slow fire

S&W M&P. Lots of work done to this one, stippled and chopped.
its a shooting SOB.


And the big dog. Springfield Custom Professional Model.
25 rounds at 10 yards, mag drop and reload at every 5 rounds.


First Good Meal

The lovely and longsuffering wife is up and around. The rotator cuff surgery and bicep tendon repair along with a nice bone spur removal, went very well. She is off the Percocet and doing Physical Therapy.
She is ready for a decent meal……..so

Seasoned chicken boobs and a bed of rice

Mix of chicken and mushroom soup, paprika, cream, onion soup mix, garlic, water

Get some side toast ready. Olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, oregano, cheese.

An hour in the oven, ready for cheese and roasted peppers.

Good Stuff

40 S&W Day

A couple of 40 S&W guns at the range.
I don’t have many 40 S&W guns, but I have a a Beretta PX4 Storm that I sent to David Olhasso for an action job, stealth decocker, and a D spring.

Also an Sig P239. Small and light, kicks like a 40S&W though.

Everything was at 10 yards standing. I’ve never been a fan of the traditional double action of the Sig and Beretta guns.
But to quote Quigley….”I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn’t know how to use one”

I’m Hungry, Rest Day Cooking

The lovely and long suffering wife says….”I got some chicken out of the freezer”

Onions, peppers, and mushrooms

Everybody loves Alfredo sauce. Add the veg and fungus.

Add the chicken back in.

Add the tomatoes last as they are fragile.

Over spaghetti. Mama is the pasta queen, I don’t mess with it.
she always says “you know how to boil water” and I tell her…..”yeah, but it’s so hard to tell when it’s done”

Good Stuff

9mm Day

Contrary to popular belief, I do have some 9mms. Took three of the large ones to the range.

S&W M&P full size with a grip chop and stippled to a compact size frame.

An old Glock 17 with a grip chopped to G-19 size

And the Springfield Armory Custom Shop Professional model in 9mm.

As always, everything was shot at 10 yards unsupported.

Any day at the range is better than any day at work.

Wheelgun Day

Took some wheelguns to the range. 38s, 357s, 45 Colts.
All shooting at 10 yards (30 ft) standing unsupported and double action.

S&W 627PC. 125 grain SJHP, 8 shooter.

Pinned and recessed S&W model 19 Combat Magnum. This thing is over 50 years old so I don’t shoot magnums in it. But it likes 125 grain 38 +P

Big Boomer. S&W model 25 in 45 Colt. No cowboy loads for this one, 225 grain flat points.
Scary trigger, 6 inch barrel.

“What about playing cards? You always shoot playing cards!”
Ok, here we go. 5 shots at 10 yards on a card.

Any day at the range is better than any day at work.

Gods caliber

If the Lord Jesus is a shooter (and I have yet to see anything to say he isn’t) then he shoots Gods caliber…45ACP.

Shooting a Sig 220 Carry with a K trigger and an old Glock 30 that I carry often.

Everything is at 10 yards, standing unsupported with 230 grain Winchester jacketed hollow points.

For us lessor creatures, mercy has given us a 9mm.
everything is 115 grain FMJ.
Walther PPSM2 and my newest FN 503

Last time I took the Walther to the range, the front sight was loose. Now it’s fixed

Generally, these little autos are difficult to shoot well. But the trigger on this FN is really smooth and easy to run well.
