Month: April 2024

My lovely and long suffering wife, Mamacita Caliente, says to go to the range as much as I can now. I’ll be back at work soon. So…….

I did some work to this one, I changed the hammer to a double action only and a spring job. Very smooth and a different feel, I’m still getting used to it. Remembering the old Defense Standard, 5 shots on a playing card at 10 yards
I’m getting back to it, if I wouldn’t have been a little to the right, I would have pulled one off the card.

Double taps with it.

One of my old favorites, an HK P7 Sqeezecocker. Very accurate.

The Grail Gun. A Springfield Armory Custom Shop Professional model.
No wonder the FBI love these things.

Everything was 10 yards, standing (slightly leaning on the knee) unsupported.

Mini range day with a couple of guns I don’t usually shoot anymore.

Beretta PX4 Storm in 40 S&W. It’s been remade by David Olhasso with a decock only and spring job. Robar did the refinish and the stippling job.

And a Sig P250 in 357 Sig

Everything was shot at 10 yards, unsupported.

My knee felt fine while I was standing there shooting…..but the I started walking.
That Old Wives Tale about the rain and your knees….its NOT an Old Wives Tale.

First the disclaimers.
1) My left knee went south on February 2nd and I haven’t been able to get to the range. 2) My knee replacement was February 23rd, and I can’t shoot with a cane. So the foundation is a little shaky.

So, should I start with something little like a 22??………it’s like you don’t even know me!

357 Magnums!

all shots at 10 yards but the rifle which was 25 yards.

This is for the disclaimers, not great. (125 grain 357 magnums)

Much better, after a little warm up and figuring out a steady position.

Likely the most fun rifle I own. Winchester 92 in 357 Magnum, saddle ring carbine.

I just had to get a 45 acp in there. Glock model 30, 230 grain ball ammunition.

That’s a little better.

But I’m still cooking. Therapy says I’m doing great.

I’ve invented some new profanities, haven’t taken any pain meds for two weeks (didn’t like how I felt)
