40S&W

Berretta PX4 Storm (Italians can make them too)

A P239 in 40 isn’t just ”snappy”, its more like an overactive puppy on Red Bull.

Vacation Range Day

I have to go on vacation to get a range day. I blame the railroad.

357 Magnum, 125 grain Remington.

Man, I’m out of practice, I blame the railroad.

45 ACP, 230 grain Federal HST (carry load)

I started off pushing left. but I’m getting my groove back by the time I got to the small target above the shoulders. I finished with the top left.

I like that

I tries the Underwood Honey Badger loads. Very light for caliber and non expanding.

Not bad, but i like the HST better

On to the 44 Magnum carry gun. Speer made a 200 grain 44 Magnum Gold Dot load that does 1000FPS out of this barrel. so I load 200 grain Jacketed Flat Points to the same velocity for practice.

I like how this one shoots

At this point, the Rangemaster (who was very bored at the time) came over and said:

“Sir, if you want to show off, I’ll give you a business card”

I said…”I usually shoot playing cards, but I’m out of practice” (I blame the railroad)

”playing cards? ok. six shots double action on a playing card“

I said….ok, but five yards and no timer.

I pulled one:

Its pretty easy really.

Put the hearts (or whatever suit) on top of the sights and pull. face cards are harder.
