Very nice week. Spent one afternoon at a public range with my best Friend and his grown Son shooting a large variety of guns. It's an open range, free of course, and has pistol, shotgun, and rifle lanes at 50 feet, 50, 100, and 200 yards. My old Colt SP-1 Carbine, Yugoslavian SKS, M-1 Garand, and two .22 Mossberg rifles got a workout. My pistols were the new CZ Compact, Hellcat, 97b, Colt .45 Series 70, TX22, S&W .22 Compact and .22 Kadet Kit on a CZ 75 frame. My Guests brought a Yugoslavian SKS, an Anderson AR-15, a M1917 Enfield, and two Ruger 10/22's. Handguns were a Glock 17, BERSA 9MM Compact, Taurus G2C, Colt .45 1991, Ruger SR22 and a Colt Trooper .357 four inch. The range was empty except for us, which is usual. We had a lot of fun swapping guns around and just catching up. Interesting was that there wasn't a single malfunction on any firearm. The Anderson AR rifle was from a line I am not familiar with. It had an inexpensive Tru Glo sight on it that worked very well at the 100 and 200 yard ranges. Seemed like a solid rifle to me. I especially liked the BERSA 9 Compact. Had I not already had enough 9 MM's I would be looking for one. The much maligned Taurus G2C performed well and it's an accurate gun also.
I finally got a notice from the State that I was invited to a LEOSA Qualification shoot next month about half way across the State. Road trip time. Handgun availability has picked up some with S&W, Ruger, and Kimber guns being available. Ammunition? NO. A big box store had CCI Blazer in a plastic ammunition box of 1050 rounds of .22 for $69.95. I bought three which I don't need, but you never know. We're still not eating out, which we miss, but sign of the times. We mask whenever we go out to shop. I've about given up on the Hellcat IWB carry, I don't like it. Too slow and uncomfortable. Re-holstering is impossible. I really like the gun, but not that means of carry.
