Thanks for posting the videos and for putting them together. I had previously watched the second one and gave it a like. Also gave a like to the first one. I like your garage range. Do the neighbors hear the gunshots. Looks like the rollup door is not insulated. Maybe you live in the country. Does it throw cases in your face?
Thanks!
The barn is getting crowded, but still I make room for my little range. I've been slowly working on insulating the (2) roll up doors. The walls are very insulated. Ceiling/roof not at all.
Yes, I live rural or country but not on large farmland, but mostly larger plot developments of 4-15 acres each. Thus the homes are typically spaced so shooting (properly with berms/blocking backstops) is safe and properly distanced between houses, main roads, etc., per state and county statutes/ordinances.
That said.... As the area has grown/developed many local hunters, recreational shooters (including myself) shoot a lot less than we used to. Yes, we can all hear each other's shots from a 1 - 2 miles away depending on time of year (winter carries most sound farther) and wind, etc. I shoot airguns of all types all the time in the barn and sometimes the yard, but pistols like this only occasionally to test, check, etc., as I don't want to 'overly' disturb the closer neighbors and run the chance of possible complaints and ordinance changes which are happening all to quick as of the last decade here in MN. Fun secret. I almost always shoot my pistol firearms during summer thunderstorms (especially high winds and thunder) and winter storms with high winds... I ask the neighbors (and my wife in the house) later after if they heard my shooting, and I get the typical answer like "no, were you shooting?", then sometimes, "I though maybe I heard something, but the thunder and wind were terrible"... lol So, I don't shoot firearms here at home as much as I used to, but enough to be satisfied.
Oh yeah, case ejections..lol Yes they sometimes hit my forehead or top of head and sometimes right shoulder, or even over more to the side, etc... Fwiw, it doesn't bother me when I consider what this gun is, and what it's made for, any more than the very heavy trigger, hard to grip size, etc. I figure this is for very close up defense in possibly odd hand or arm/body positioning comparatively to standard practice shooting stances and the like. Also, if I were to ever need to use it defensively I suspect I will not notice the cases wherever they hit me or anything else under adrenaline, possible tunnel vision, loss of fine motor skills and whatever else. So yes, during practice it's a tad annoying, but I don't actually shoot it 'that much' that it really bothers me at all. If it were a pistol for recreation I shot more often then it would concern me, but this little SD pistol not so much.
You're trying to give me an aneurism.
