Celebrated Fathers Day at the range with my daughter, at her request !!!

 

My daughter did well with the S&W M&P 2.0, 9mm long-slide, as she always does.

Today was her first range session with the S&W SR22 Victory. She ran it like a champ and the pistol’s performance was outstanding. She loved the pistol, especially the fiber optic, 3 dot sights. She rang some steel !

 

S&W has redesigned the .380 Bodyguard and has named it the .380 Bodyguard 2.0. I have the original and find it snappy, but shootable.

Here’s the new version:


I’ll have to check it out !

 

When walking my 12 pound Carin Terrier after dark, I carry my S&W model 43C revolver. It’s chambered in .22 caliber. There are coyotes active in my neighborhood and I’m concerned that my dog looks too much like an easy snack. I carry a six-cell Maglight and keep it on, thinking it would act as a deterrent, and if need be a club.

I choose to carry the little .22 revolver is because I am proficient at shooting it one-handed. Light/club and dog leash in one hand, revolver in the other. Hopefully I’ll never have to put the full plan to the test.

 

Indulged in a few early xmas gifts to myself
Mossberg 12G in Marinecoat
Springfield Armory Garrison 1911 .45
For a new hobby and home defense.

 

One of the gifts I got my wife...

M&P 2.0 Metal, Carry Comp.

 

Very nice, sir.

 

She is absolutely going to love it..... I have the regular 2.0, not the full metal version, but it is an absolute joy.

 

I was told. Buddy of mine has one. Says that comp shoots FLAT.

She's been wanting a metal framed pistol. Tripped over this Performance Center, and brought it home.

 

It’s a beauty and a beast. Nice pistol !
My M&P 2.0 duty size 9mm will eat anything, but it does especially well with higher grain rounds.

 

I can back this statement up.....and i fully support it!

 

That's good, as I was going to feed it the same 124gr that I use in the PCCs.
Shares a mag with the FPC.

 

This is a particularly fine ammo. Norma. Made in Switzerland by a Swedish company. Very clean and very consistent.

This is how much I like it.


Runs excellent in all my 9 MM’s

 

Bought myself a Christmas gift this year....

 

nice! What’s the details?

 

Took advantage of today’s milder weather, with a range session. Gave the 9mm Shield a workout.

 

The Performance Center Shield is an improvement over the standard model. Nice trigger. Night sights. And, a ported barrel.

The only downside is that some ammo has manufacturer warnings against using in firearms with ported barrels. Blazer Brass is one. Federal has some products with similar warnings.

Not a big deal. There is plenty of ammunition products without these warnings.

 

Good heads up. I need to go through my stash, as I never checked for that.

 

My understanding is that with the ammo in question the bullet is copper-plated, not a true full metal jacket.

 

I bought a S&W Equalizer a few days before Christmas. Great deal through a company called Range USA. The gun, 10 round magazine, two 13 rounds magazines, two 15 round magazines. Also an UpLula magazine loader and a range bag. All for $489.00 plus tax.

I just couldn't leave that one in the show case.

I've only had it to the range once so far, but it shoots well.
