Okay, so all the good times everyone else was having was getting to me. I needed some air!
I only got a short time, but I can legitimately say, I enjoyed some great outdoors for a few minutes today, re-zeroing a .22 rifle, and I carried,
… my Desert Eagle!
Totally worth the $21. $28, maybe not so much, but after enough fiddling around with Velcro I got it to fit. And I liked it! I can see wearing a nice shoulder holster, with a more common pistol, under my usual vest or jacket.
I wore it all day, even though I didn’t make any cartridges up for it until about two. The five shots I took with some N.O.S. Rainier 335s were clean and tight. No unburned kernels. And no tearing any previous hand wounds back open.
Well four made it from the fifty yards to the truck bed…
Five just went into the stumps/berm to find the fired case one at a time for inspection. All looked good.
I loaded the remaining forty cases after I got back.
Man! They sure are a handsome couple, aren’t they?
I needed to be sure the scope was right on. I’m about to use it and it needs to be exact. Going from Stingers to standard velocity had me move the reticle to the right with the first two shots, then up six clicks and three more shots. I switched magazines fired once and turned two more clicks up on my Vortex 6-18x44. The remaining four went right where I wanted considering the goofy angle I could see the box at. Smaller dots are better.
So, more of a short range trip than taking a whole day to recreate, but I got to take it when I get it!
I did get a short stroll down to the boat launch. Up in the sand there was a newcomer to this rock. I felt like it was a long trip to safe water, so I gave her a very large hand.
So small, she almost wasn’t painted yet!
Alright, alright. I’ll admit. I am a creature of habit! Yes. I did have the Keltec in my pocket. But that doesn’t mean I still wasn’t carrying a Desert Eagle!
