    Range Report - 208 rounds 4/27/24

    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...

    Saturday Range Trip 04/13/2024

    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...

    Did you know…

    …that traffic laws are merely suggestions before 5AM? Apparently I missed the memo. 😒 Just my perspective here, but some of the stuff I see out here in the dark on my way to work…🙄. Makes me wish I had blue lights sometimes. Have a good day y’all 😎.

    Poked some holes in paper today

    So I did manage to make it to the range today. Man, I drove through major dust outs in some spots...like driving though a desert dust storm. The range was quite busy, as I expected, but I got lane 15..not too bad. I brought three pistols and all of their magazines with me today. I load at home...

    Company at the range

    So, Friday is my day off (when they’re not pushing the mandatory overtime on us) and it’s my favorite day to go to the range. I’m better rested and not drag azz tired. The mister happened to be home and decided that he would join me. I brought my two HKs and loaded all my mags and off we went...

    The Plunge

    By now most of y'all know that I have gone down the rabbit hole. So far I've installed the sights, and I have lots of learning to do. It feels really good, but like I said...I have lots of reading to do. So...this is my first :cool:

    The Great White North

    So, the mister managed to shock the everloving 💩 out of me this morning. He said that I had better get my butt in gear, we’re going for a road trip. Seems he got in touch with my best friend in Manitoba and arranged for us to go for a visit this weekend. It’s been way too long since we’ve...

    Mother Nature is a feral beast

    It was 60 degrees here yesterday and today we have white out conditions. Made it to work this morning, but half the plant went home. No travel advised in eastern ND. I hope they don’t shut down cuz I’ll be stuck in Fargo 😪. Heck, even the range closed..

    Breaking in the HKs

    I finally got to the range with my VP9s. I also brought my M&P 2.0. I started outwit the M&P and did surprisingly poorly. Basically sprayed the dang target. I wasn't even going to post the pic, but hey.. I hadn't fired that in a while, but no excuses. Anyway I was excited to shoot the SK...

    So this just happened…

    I’m sitting in the parking lot and I just had to share. Now for the 50 mile drive to Fargo. Scheels has some magazines that I want and I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. This gun looks so much more bada$$ IRL than it did in the picture.

    Range Report - New VP9 and Modified Hellcat

    So, finally I was able to get to the range with my modified Hellcat and the new VP9. I have been itching to shoot these for weeks, but but with the stuff going on with my mom’s house in TX, work, and my husband changing jobs, things have been a little nuts. Long story short, I have signed on...

    Question on XDM Elite grip safety

    I just got my XDM Elite last month, and I finally had the time to strip it down and decided to swap out the backstrap. Turns out they already had the small installed, so I put it back on. I had a bit of a time getting the roll pin out...it was quite a bit harder than the VP9 roll pin was...

    So…I did this today

    I got the notification today that my VP9 arrived at my FFL, but by the time I read it, it was too late to travel 30 miles to pick it up. So I decided to modify my Hellcat with the kit that arrived this week. It was a little bit tricky but not hard at all. Can’t wait to get this baby to the range!

    Ice Storm...

    So that magical whiteness we got for Christmas has turned into a hazardous mess. Good thing we are reclusive anyway, but by the end of tomorrow I may be getting a bit twitchy. They're calling for up to an inch plus of ice on the major roads. It has taken folks upwards of two hours to travel...

    Double Whammy

    This little whiz kid thought she was being so smart. Life has ramped up at Mach speeds here, and right around Christmas. What with dealing with my mom wanting to leave Canada and come back to live with us, my little brother leaving the house in TX and moving to FL so we have to sell the San...

    Hellcat Threaded Barrel and Comp Kit

    So the question came up at supper last night, the mister asked what I would like for Christmas. Here I am thinking we took care of that this year by buying a couple of gun safes last weekend. I was reading the latest copy of The Armory, and they mentioned the threaded barrel and compensator...

    Magazine Releases

    This has been rumbling around in my head for a while so I finally decided to put it out there. All of my pistols, except for one, have the mag release button operational by the right thumb. My M&P9 2.0 compact is a used LE trade in and its mag release button came with left hand operation. I...

    My New Sidekick!

    So, I drove an extra 50 miles after work yesterday to pick up my XD-M Elite. The weather was good, so I didn't mind. My FFL guy mounted the Dragonfly for me, and I was in and out of there in about 30 minutes. Got home at 5:30ish, the same time I would have if I had loitered around in Fargo...

    Settings??

    I don't know where to post this so I will put it here. Mods, please move it if there is a more appropriate place...thanks! My MacBook has done a couple of updates recently and as of today I have lost the ability to use the options (like the smileys) right above where we type the text, and when...

    SA Rebate Question

    I think I know what I need to do, but I need some guidance because I'm not sure. I picked my XD-M Elite last night after work. My FFL guy looked up the serial number and said it qualifies for the Gear Up promo. So I am filling out the form and they are wanting the store address. My question is...
