Ahhh...My Trigger Fingers Feel Better...

I finally got back to a range after a fairly long hiatus (there were reasons). Actually, I've been hoping to burn some powder at Terry's place, but things kept coming up. Anyway, I finally got to the ATI (http://alpistol.com/ ) range this evening with my M49 (CCW), Kel-Tec P11 and CZ-75.

I didn't shoot a whole lot; feeling that after a certain point I'm just firing shots and not actually accomplishing anything, so I started off 'cold' and expending the ammo I've been carrying with the 49; 2-hand, and single-handed, both right and left, with a reload from a Speed Strip. Range was 7 yards, and while I didn't try for Miculek speed, I worked on 'deliberate' speed and got solid hits with all shots. With the remnant of .38 ammo, I practiced deliberate shooting both SA and DA at longer range. I even got hits at 25 yd, using a supported hold and SA.

Next up was the P11. I could tell it's been a long time since I've shot it; the slide locked open repeatedly. I put that down to lack of practice with the little blaster--it likes a good, firm hold. I have thought about carrying it again, but there will need to be a lot more practice first.

Last was the pre-B CZ. Not much to say there; fun plinking!!

I was getting concerned about carrying a gun with so little practice, but I was gratified that I was on target--at a range, facing down a sheet of paper, at least. Range sessions WILL become more frequent!

Good for you Shep, I got to spend a bit of quality time out back myself this week.

Now, if the gubmint would just get off that tax stamp for my suppressor...
