Range fun at lunch!

[txgolfer45]

Went with my boss and a co-worker to the range at lunch. Here are the guns I got to shoot:

Mine: Glock 19 and 26
Boss: Colt Government Model .45, S&W .357 3 inch bbl K frame, CZ 75 9mm
Co-Worker: Kahr P40, S&W .357 revolver 4 inch bbl.

Besides my Glocks, I liked the CZ 75 and the Colt Government Model .45 the best. All were easy to shoot and shoot accurately.

I need more range time with .357. Flinched in anticipation of recoil. Couldn't hit a darn thing. On paper but not on target. Now, the .38 special through the 4 inch .357 was a piece of cake.

Everyone hated the Kahr P40. The recoil was violent to say the least in such a small gun. May be good for CCW, but I didn't care for it.

Both my boss and the co-worker liked my Glocks. They were surprised at how easy they were to shoot.

Sight line was more intuitive with the semiauto's. Not used to the sight line of the revolvers.

Next purchase will be a 1911 with a CZ75 to follow. I was impressed with both of them.

I'm a little surprised that 3/3 hated the P-40. Any reasons except the recoil?

Nothing quite like shooting with your boss (unlike the USPS where you shoot at your boss) My boss is a glockaholic. Probably explains why I can outshoot him nine times out of ten.

It also jammed alot. For the owner, it typically jams on the second round in the magazine. It jammed on the last round in the magazine when I shot it. Slide was open and the last round didn't feed.

Definitely not a range gun due to recoil. Deep backup maybe. Recoil made target acquisition tougher on followup shots. And, it did hurt to shoot it. I'm not a wimp, but, it wasn't fun.

WOW, the Kahr must a of ther first run when they had some reliability issues w/ their poly design. That's oo bad, their suppose to be nice little guns.

Any idea how many rounds had been fired through it? Was it cleaned and lubed when brand new?

Sounds like the Kel Tec reports of a year or two ago....

10-ring, The Kahr was a relatively recent new gun purchase by my co-worker. He has already had it serviced by Kahr and it still is a jam-o-matic. Hope Kahr did better with the PM9.

range fun at lunch is great

My shooting area is about 15 min from work, so now and again on a nice day, I'll take a long lunch and go pop off a few rounds.

The best one was when I ordered sushi to go and went to the canyon with a few friends for sushi and shotguns.

I would probably look forward to work if I went to the range more often during my lunch hour.

That Boss must be a cool guy to work for . Shooting Lunchtimes I could use a few of those.
