The last time I was at the range was April 9 of this year; that was over 4 months ago and I was gunning with a Glock 19. October 24, 2017 (around 10-months ago) was the last time I did range time with a S&W J Frame revolver ... it was an airweight and I did better with it then than I did with a steel J frame on this visit. Yep, without a doubt, I need more frequent range visits ... especially with J frames ... talk is cheap cheap cheap ... but range time isn't ... it can add up ... $28 for this session's targets and range time (I brought my own ammo). I was done early ... I'll only pay for 1/2 hour next visit and use fewer targets ... that will save a few dollars. Monday is always senior-citizen discount day but for some reason Mondays haven't had much leisure (or motivation) for me in a good long while.
But, heck, I'm just tickled that I finally made it happen; I got to the range for some positive practice; I tossed 30-rounds of 130-grain FMJ .38 Special downrange along with 5-rounds of 110-grain .357 magnum semi-jacketed-hollowpoints. It wasn't an orgasmic good-time but I did have a respectable amount of fun.
More later ...
I have an airweight and I've always loved it. Great for close in as most self defense is and quite honestly as I always joke, hammerless so I won't snag anything and shoot my private parts by accident.
ReplyDeleteBTW Zack,
Is Quonset Hut still there at Grand and Mcaree in Waukegan. Just wondering. Found a pizza here in Vegas that is really close to their's
Hey there Joseph!
ReplyDeleteMay it someday be granted landmark status! Quonset Hut is alive and well ... I have not been there in years and the empty parking lot when I drove by recently gave me the impression it was out of business ... BUT a nephew told me that he had pizza there a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious.
