An overdue range trip
« on: Today at 08:39:30 AM »
Went to the range May 7 (my 81st birthday) for the 1st time in months (wife and I spending more time in hospital labs/X-ray than we would wish).  Shot the R9 4700 first…3 mags downrange at 7 yards.  The 1st mag aimed, did OK but when aiming I tend to flinch.  Second and third mags fired in my usual point/shoot quick mode with impressive center mass hits on a man target.  I love this little beast.   It does a job on my arthritic hands but that’s OK for a classic tiny “shoot little, carry a lot” belly gun.

Also shot my Sig P365.  I am not a fan of striker fired handguns, but I do like this one.  It is soft to shoot, never hiccups, accurate a rather boring (in a good way I guess).  It is harder to carry concealed in hot weather and it requires a steam jack to load the mags (or an Uplula at least).  In any case, a good birthday upright and above ground at my age!
