so i'm at the range today, rainy, nippy, gray-y....
wildalaska is doing his best Tactical impressions with a HP. when WA runs out of ammo he goes home to swmbo.
leaving me with a Range Officer who brings his finely tuned compensated uber-fast 1911 race gun. trigger pull is a bit long for my tastes, but it has a boot screwed on to the face so you dont have to have your finger directly on the trigger it can be to the outside.
the RO shows me the ins and outs of it, and i run a few mags through it. i liked the reduction in muzzle flip, and rapid firing of it was joy-inducing.
what i didnt like was when the RO was loading a magazine into the magwell and the trigger boot fell off. so he tries to push it back in place.
and has a ND, right into the table. muzzle blast tears apart a box of ammo. sends my stapler downrange. and made me damn near wet myself, as well as the shooter 4 lanes over who was watching us while waiting for a ceasefire.
the RO played it cool, seemed as if he didnt really understand he had a NEGLIGENT DISCHARGE.
heh. before all that the mo-mos in the lane to my left set up steel plates at 25 yards, not on the rails , just on the ground. made it really obvious how bad they were flinching. their last plate didnt fall down, it turned 90 degrees. they couldnt knock it down, so when they packed their stuff up and were wating for the ceasefire, i asked if they minded if i tried. they didnt.
i heard the tactical boys a few lanes over saying "that plate is hardly thicker than the bullet, he'll never hit it."
out of 12 shots, i hit it twice. turned it to the left 45 degrees. then turned it back to the right 45 degrees. the tactical boys were strangely silent after that.
