I called the guy at the gun shop and he said I should shoot it some more. I bought 100 more rounds, Remington this time instead of Winchester. This is getting expensive. Im going to have to start shooting less. 975 rounds bought in about a month and a half.. i just did the math.. geez

Hope it works out buddy!

+1 on that.

There are a lot of annoyances on the range. You could have a bad day and have to admit you have shot better than that while half asleep and hypothermic. It could be raining and windy. The nitwit kid next to you starts shooting at your target and totally screws up your ability to tell how you did. Some one who will tell you he was so tier one he can't tell you what his unit was is pontificating at you (cross dominant, get that a lot right up until they see me doing reload and stoppage drills- they shut up faster when I do carbine to pistol transitions) or there is some dingus who's bragging about how amazing his sub-MOA groups are when he's running a 300 Mag off sandbags with a 20x scope  and he's shooting 3/4" groups at 25 yards.

Add all that crap up. So long as nothing blows up and no one gets hurt, it is still better than any day in the office.

But when all you're doing is testing to see if the new one goes ka-boom, thats a bad day on the range.

Went to the range last night and took my time through a box of 100 rounds. No failures. I had a good bit of fun as well. I got to shoot the bodyguard again as well as a .22lr lever action with a red dot sight and a scoped AR-10 .308. Hopefully all continues to go well with the Shield. Thanks for the well wishes everyone.


Shield, not amazing shooting, but not bad for me at 30 feet.

IPSC time again. My next match will be on the 30th of April...which means time to take out the revolver after many months in storage. Also time to give it a little cleaning to freshen it up somewhat.

My competition rig is a 357 Magnum S&W 586 with 6" barrel and Silhouette adjustable sights. The Kleenbore PocKit is a wonderfully compact cleaning tool in case you were wondering.


I didn't get a chance to do much shooting. I don't think I did anything during the winter months...this year being quite terrible in the snow and cold dept. Here is my accompanying ammo kit that I take with me. Bottom holds several boxes of ammunition. The top trays are very useful. I really like the speed loader tray which makes loading your speed loaders a breeze. I have 6 Safariland Comp 3, 5 Safariland Comp 2, and 1 Safariland Comp 1 which I do not like using for competition as it is designed for conceal carry.


Not shooting means I didn't have to stock up on much ammunition. I tend to buy enough for me and then replace what I use when I use it. Here are a few photos of my ammo locker.




Yes, I still have room for that Fallout Mini Nuke among the ammunition.

Here is a .50 BMG, 223 Remington, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 9 mm, and 2 3/4" 12 Gauge shell.

I just did the preliminary build on my future loading bench.



Still need to clean up the space, and I haven't installed the drawers yet because I am unsure if I can remove them once installed. I am thinking that could be an issue when it comes time to install the loading presses.

Is that carpet I see?

Carpet is not a good thing with reloading. Imagine a powder spill.

Yes, and vacuum cleaners like to ignite with powder in them. Not ideal, but it is the space I have to work in. Guess I will have to be super careful about powder spills. I could always get one of those office chair mats.  :think:

There is a certain type of tile that I found in a warehouse some time last year. It actually floats above the current floor and just clicks together. I would toss a lightweight painters mat or something underneath it so nothing gets through the cracks and use those. They were fairly inexpensive (for tile) if i remember correctly. And yes it's real tile.

If you go with an office chair mat, slide a large piece of plywood under it. Otherwise the bench legs will break through the mat.

Well I went to one of my local RFD's today after some key-mod rail. Now I don't need another rifle at the moment and I have no use at all for a .308, but damn I want this!

I participated in an IPSC competition today at the club...and had great fun as always. However, I did have an issue with my Smith & Wesson 586. Every now and then, it would fail to fire a round in the cylinder. This meant that I would have to fire until I hit the round a second time and it would never fail to fire that second time. I did give it a cleaning a few months ago and I was puzzled until someone approached me and asked me if I had cleaned the firing pin and more importantly the hole it goes through on its way to the cartridge. Err...no I hadn't. When I got home, I did exactly that...and found that the carbon scrapper on the Leatherman MUT did the job nicely. It was dirty, and I think there was enough build up that it would prevent a good strike every now and then. At least I do not think they were hard primer strikes. I only use Federal American Eagle 158 grain jacketed ammunition and never had that issue before with the revolver using those factory loads.

This was also the first time I have used the Real Avid Gun Boss Universal Cleaning Kit. I bought it because it is very compact, will service every firearm I use, and well...it is compact. I found that the elastic retention system is a major PITA as putting everything away was difficult. Those elastics fight you every inch of the way. On the plus side, there is everything included in a very compact package. I may have to modify this kit to make it more user friendly.







The club had 38 shooters show up. I have noticed that IPSC is on the increase as more and more folks want to compete using handguns. We started at 10 am sharp and ended around 3:30 pm due to only having 2 lanes in use. The club is thinking of increasing the lanes by 1 to decrease the competition time. We had an American border guard show up with a revolver...so I wasn't the only person competing in the revolver class. The rest of the club shoot semi-autos.

Not sure where to put this as it is gun related..but not a firearm.

I found this at a local pawn shop. It is a prop gun used in one of the local movies produced in the Sault...or so I was told. It wasn't terribly expensive, and didn't care much about the back story...if it is true. I bought it because I can display it on a wall and have no fear of breaking the law.







I guess this is a cap gun considering the cartridges appear to accept a cap.


As a decorative piece, it should do the job nicely.
