Well, I probably shouldn't have but I have missed way too much range time in the last couple of months so...and I wanted to try out the new trigger in the 509C. It wasn't very busy at the pistol range today so I didn't have to wait for a lane. I brought my 509 and the 509C that has a new trigger installed. I always feel better after I practice and I didn't want to jam out just because I hurt.
I set my kit up in my lane and set my target out to 10 yards. I started with my "feel good" gun, the 509. I had three mags loaded with 124gr and two with 147.
So this was the warm up target. My "feel good" gun wasn't making me feel that good, but I don't think it was too bad for having a wounded wing.
This was the first two mags with 124gr.
Swapped out the target, ran it back out to 10 and did the last mag with 124 and then the 147s.
Wasn't doing too badly, but you can see where I was starting to hurt more...
So next up was the 509C with the new trigger. Let's just say that it (the trigger) needs breaking in as much as the gun does
. This gun needs a few hundred rounds put through it to make it feel even close to its big brother. By this time I really didn't care, I am still basically feeling out this gun. It'll be fine once I shoot the 
out of it.
Here's that target..
Yeah...not my best performance at all, but any practice is good practice, right?
. I was swapping out mags during this run and a guy came up behind me. He was a LE veteran. He gave me a couple of targets to use next time. Never had that happen before, but hey...I'll take all the help I can get .
So that was my range adventure this weekend. It's sad that I have to drive 60 miles to shoot, but it's better than being arrested for shooting off my deck. I did learn today that they are running some pretty good courses though our range this year. There are quite a few NRA certified instructors that are offering beginner and advanced defensive pistol courses, and they are now offering AR courses. It's good to see. We've needed this for a while in these parts.
Until next time y'all..
