Today you had to be dedicated to show up for this shot. This is hands down the most miserable match we have held in years. If you didn't bring rain gear and waterproof boots you were hosed. The rain never stopped. I think it is safe to say that shooters discovered just how hard it is to operate their firearms with frozen fingers. Saw quite a few guns go down for various reasons. Very interesting day. Enjoy the pics!

We had a SW just stop firing, I didn't stick around to see if it was the firing pin, one glock KB, and one 1911 just quit feeding. Heard of more but just saw the three.

Thats the way I would have done it, I almost never were boots. Myself and another ARFCOMer spent 4 or 5 hours at the range today, 35 degrees, sneakers, no gloves and a thin hat (no hair  ) that worked under my Mickey Mouse's. I have more of a problem with 75 the 35

WTF is up with the shotgun with the gigantic magazine extension?
Call me crazy, but I would think there would be a danger of the shot hitting the mag extension. Otherwise, looks like you guys had a blast. I woulda been the retard that showed up WAY underdressed. |

It was DAMN COLD!
As the fastest in the slow group I actually won a prize! I am so happy I almost stopped shivering for a minute. As for the Glock, It was a .40 cal and was firing factory loaded gold dots. It blew the case head off leaving the rest in the chamber. Amazingly it did not blow the mag out but it did wallop his finger with the blast. It also blew the extractor out, we did bother to look for it. Worst part is, this is his duty gun! Thank god it didn't happen on the street. BTW, that Chevy is awesome. Me want!!!! |

Had I shown up I would have dressed for the part but stripped down to hoodie and jeans to shoot.
I think a lot of people forget how much the cold effects motor function, especially when working with a fine motor skill like safeties and mag changes. |

The S&W was an M&P .40. The pistol was fine, it was just bad (old) ammo. Primers just wouldn't go off. Good thing it wasn't the pistol, it was also his duty pistol and he went on duty right after the shoot.
