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 
). I brought the Reflex, VP9 an VP9SK. I didn't bring as many magazines this time, as my shoulder was giving me a little grief and I don't want to aggravate it.
Well, I was less than enchanted with myself with the Reflex. It's plain to see I am not used to its snappiness (not as snappy as my Hellcat, but darn close). I do need to train with it though, because it's one of my summer guns. The first target is what I did with the Reflex. I brought five mags for that because they were already loaded and I wanted to empty them the fun way.
I think I was doing okay until I started aiming at the smaller circles... couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, lol. Anyway, the first three mags went smoothly. The last two rounds in the fourth mag would not fire. I cleared that first FTF, same thing. I cleared that one, drop the empty mag and insert the last full mag. I tried with the first three rounds in that mag...all three failed to feed. By then I had had enough of that and decided to pack it away to investigate further when I got home. I am guessing it's the ammo - or the mags (but two of them?). Probably the ammo, because the gun functions properly otherwise.
I only had the two free targets I get per visit with my membership, so I unloaded the VP9 and the SK into the same one. I only brought three 17rd mags for each of them. They went through all of the ammo with no problems at all. I kinda tore a hole in the target and it made me feel better, so I tried aiming for the smaller circles...and they flew everywhere. Sigh... (here's where I would LOVE an eye roll emoji!)
It's getting easier, not sure that my accuracy is improving...next time I'll remember to put a bunch of targets in the mister's truck like the pile I have in mine. My arm is hurting like a bugger this morning, the only reason why I don't ever shoot two days in a row (until I break down and find out what the problem is
So that was Saturday..besides the impromptu drive to Frazee. Our friends from SD were there and he is a retired firefighter from that department.
As usual, I welcome your thoughts and constructive comments.

. He does when he’s hungry enough, but for a guy who’s younger than me, he’s pretty old school.
