I did not want to interrupt an ongoing discussion in another thread, and I don't think that every time I go to the range should be documented in a range report, so I figured I had better put this in a thread of its own and let it live or die. I took today off so I would be rested at the range...

I've been working overtime shifts on Fridays as an incentive to get to the range each week, because it's so close to the plant. This week I was really excited to try out my new PDP Compact and compare it with the VP9. What really got me was when the husband told me to bring the FNX Tactical...

Thanks to all you guys who chimed in about the FNX Tactical. The husband appreciated it (actually, I think he needed validation because he had already made up his mind, but that's just me ;)). He was able to pick it up for a sweet deal because of the points on his Cabela's card. So, he...

It had been far too long since I put some lead downrange, so I took the opportunity to drive through the poo to West Fargo, where the range I now belong to is located. It was the maiden voyage for both the XD Mod3 and the HK45C. Because I am a new member, an RSO had to go over the safety...

So, the husband has been wanting a double stack 45 for a long time. He now has his eyes set on a FNX 45 Tactical. He likes the feel and is strongly considering it. He's back up in Grand Forks for work and the gun shop is just minutes away from his hotel...dangerous, I know. Anyway, he asked...

Due to my attraction to shiny new things, this poor little gun sat in my bedroom safe for many months. Some of you might remember I had an issue with it back in January and I had to send it to Springfield. I actually bought it back in November of last year and honestly, I don't know why it has...

We spent a better part of yesterday afternoon clearing a blocked trail up at the husband's cousin's property. We had taken the wheeler up to work in the stands when we came across a downed 75 foot white spruce. It had come down just in the last week because it was still standing last time we...

I am thinking about picking up a HK45 Compact toward the end of the year, and I have been doing some research on the pros and cons of LEM triggers. I understand the concept, the criteria people use to base their decision between DA/SA and the LEM models, and I understand that it is one of those...

I got to the range a little later than I wanted to (a little past noon) due to family phone calls. It wasn't overly peopley, but just enough so that I couldn't get the lane with the bench and supports for zeroing in dots. I also had to watch a safety video and fill out a range waiver (they...

I thought it would be more appropriate to put this in a thread rather than load up the other thread with my stuff. I found the time to swap out my medium OD Green grip module with a small one in black. I have been looking everywhere for a small OD Green but I want to shoot it some time this...

So, I didn't think it right to hijack the thread I originally posted my optic on my Echelon...so, here goes: I installed the dot using the pin set and screw set that was on the chart in the owner's manual. This was the result: I noticed, as many of you did, that the rear of the optic was...

I've probably mentioned here before that my family is spread out across the US and Canada. It's been that way for many, many years. I have always been the one to travel for visits, and I don't regret it in the least. I just got off the phone with my sister (in FL). My stepmother has been in...

Well, as tired as I am I figured I had better get this out or there would be a few members a bit put out with me.. ;) . I took four pistols to the range with me today, (because a girl needs variety, lol!), but the main objective was to zero in the new optic on my Masada Slim. I installed a...

It has been a minute (well actually, about three weeks or so) since I put some lead down range. It was quite busy when I got there, not surprised as it's pretty hot out today. I got the lane closest to the wall, and then everybody cleared out and I had the place to myself. My main purpose for...

Jasper is a tourist town in northern Alberta, Canada. The town has been evacuated and has begun to burn. I have friends who live in that area. They are okay for now but the town proper is on fire. It is located near Jasper National Park where I took my winter survival course. So sad because it...

I don’t know how to post a link, but Biden stepped down.

We’re up at the Iron Range for a celebration of life for a friend this weekend. I woke up with a scratchy throat and my voice is about 4 octaves lower than usual. I thought I was getting sick, but no…when we went to put the luggage in the truck, the air was thick with smoke. It cleared off a...

We were going through the handgun safe yesterday, as the husband needed his favorite Kimber for his CCW renewal course. I started handling guns I haven’t touched for a while. As always when I’m doing this, I was drawn back to the Walther. This was my very first handgun, bought for me by the...

The husband had to take the diesel into the shop in Fargo, so he dropped me off at the range to do my thing. I brought the VP9 and the SK and thirteen loaded magazines along. I got there at 10:15 and it was busy already. Cold, rainy day is a good reason to be at an indoor range. There were even...

I did go to the range yesterday, and earlier than usual which was nice, because there were more employees than customers. There was only one other guy in the range shooting an AR. The mister came, but did not shoot (and no Glock fondling was involved this time :cool: ). I brought the Reflex...
