I have been unable to go shooting for about two months while recovering from surgery. Today I went to the range in a light snow with my buddy and had a blast with four of my favorite handguns: a .40 S&W Glock 23 with 180grain Reman. Freedom Munitions rounds, a .38 special S&W Model 10 with 158 grain LSWC reloads using CFE Pistol and Trailboss, a .44 magnum Ruger Super Blackhawk single action with 240 grain LSWC over Bullseye and Trailboss, and a CZ82 with steel cased 9x18mm Makarov FMJ. I chose those four because I was afraid of being rusty and wanted handguns which I could count on shooting reasonably well, and none of them disappointed.
I was happy shooting paper at 25 to 50 feet and steel plates at 25 to 50 yards. The Model 10 was especially glad to get in my hand, and I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it shot using both powders. But the star of the day was the CZ82. I hit just about everything I aimed at with that pistol. Attached is my final target for the session on an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper: eight rounds of 9x18mm Brown Bear FMJ from right at eight yards. The CZ82 is one sweet shooter. Finishing up the range visit like that made for an enjoyable ride home.
