I am in Jax hanging out for the weekend. I decided to go over to shooters and squeeze off a few rounds
I purchased 2 +1 extensions for my G36 and 1 extension for my G26. 100 rounds of 9mm, and I already have a few hundred to 500 rounds of 230gr .45
The S&W regional rep was there
, cool, I get to check out the new AR they have!
It is just like any other one out there minus some of Colts stuff on the lower
.
I got to fondel a few of the 1911s
, this is where I get in trouble!
There is a waiting list for the range, so when it is my turn to enter the bay, I decided to shoot the 1911PD, besides I get 15 rounds and a $5 range fee to boot. So I take this 1911PD load up the mag, I also load up my 2 G36 mags with the newly installed extension. I shoot a few off of the S&W, then a few of the Glock... I look like this
. Lemme try this again, same outcome
.
I run the target out to 25 yards. Do process again,
. DAMN! This S&W shoots WAY BETTER then my Glock(s)! I shoot 9 more rounds out of the 1911PD at a fresh target, reel it in and I am pissed! I yank down the target, go over to the S&W rep and tell him how evil and retched he is, and he is just a bad bad man! Show him the target, and give him his pistol back. S&W rep ask "whats wrong?" ME, "you just cost me money, now I gotta get one of these and the Glocks have to go! Bastige!! He just laughed and laughed as I smiled and complimented him on a fine tool!
To top my day off, we hear a "cease fire!". "We are going to do a sort of friendly shooting competition, free, all ya gotta do is shoot, one closest to the bullseye, gets the prize".
Hell, I'll give it a try! It is a .44 mag wheelie, SWEET! I have not shot one of these in a while.
I go 4th, I think. 1" high and to the left, "hummm that might do it"
as I pass the pistol off to the staff."whats the prize anyhow?"hat or T shirt, cool! Back to wondering "why am I shooting this F%$#ing G36!?" My goodness that 1911PD shot to damned natural, great now I gotta buy another pistol! hummm 2 Glocks for one 1911, sounds like a plan!
OH, the prize is the nice S&W hat that fits nicely on my melon BTW, I was second, one guy was 1/4" closer
ETA: Looks like 2 Glocks will be on the EE soon
