Yea baby! And its been a few months since the last visit.I brought all 3 of my friends.My Glock 19, Glock 17 and a Sig P229/.40 w/.357sig barrel.

The glocks' diet consisted of over 100 various jhp's(speer gold dot 124gr+P, remington golden sabers 124+P & 147gr,triton hi-vel 115gr +P, and federal hi-shok 147gr).

8 of my magazines were the dreaded 10-rounders with the 2183 followers.ZERO malfuntions.Also had my g17's standard capacity 17-rounder.Again, ZERO malfunctions feeding all the different hollowpoints!

I've also went through 100 rounds of UMC 115gr.Of course, ZERO malfuntions.Their new green and white boxes are more fashionable than their classic yellow box.

It's good reassurance that my glock's are dutied with front-line self-defense weapons.

Now for the P229...In .40s&W, Ok accuracy(my fault, not the gun's) and fed 180gr golden sabers, 180gr gold dots and 50 UMC's with ZERO malfuntions.

Swapped for the .357 barrel and OH MAN!What a BLAST!Literally.Going from bang, bang, bang to DOOM DOOM DOOOM!!! made me chuckle a few evil laughs.:evil:

Now onto the bad news.Shooting the 357sig, I experienced a FTE on round # 35.The rim of the case was bent/crushed in where the extractor would hold into place.I was unable to unlodge the empty case from the chamber so I packed up and went home.Had 15 rounds of 357sig left.Dammit.

My accuracy has improved by going slow(breathing and trigger control).My groups are much tighter now.Quite a few shots were out of the black because that's when I wasn't taking my time.

Any comments and suggestions appreciated...
Until the next range visit...
Thanks for reading.
