NWI INGO General Post - Part 11

[MTN]

So next M&S if anyone has a Ruger LCP and a S&W M&P Bodyguard 380 I can test out would be greatly appreciated. The bodyguard can be either version. Looking for a new car gun to replace the 3913 so it can snuggle up to the 3906 in the safe.

Just use one of your cz's.

Not garbage. More like burr bushes, brush, weeds, etc

Went to winamac yesterday to make up for missing the m&S last week. The place was packed to the gills with idjits. I was lucky to get a bench in the 25, let alone anywhere else. On top of that, there were a bunch of fudds talking crap about what I brought, "assault rifles" and "high capacity clips", like I couldn't hear what they were saying. Do fudds not realize that electronic muffs exist? Three hour round trip drive for 45 minutes of shooting before I decided to leave. Ugh, makes me yearn for the day I buy some property out in the sticks so I won't ever have to deal with idjits at the range.

Nah would like to be able to close the center console for work and all.

Ask the Fudds what they will do when the come for the "high powered sniper rifles"

 

[gunbunnies]

unshelledpilot... The public ranges are full all the time anymore and since the shooting public ranks have filled up over the last ten years they haven't all taken the time to get some instruction as we would hope...

I normally spend half my range time instructing anymore...

My wife makes up for it in brass though... lol....

I'm kinda looking for a place to shoot also which would be private... Nothing yet though...

I don't mind teaching new shooters, sometimes, I even enjoy it. My problem at the range is the fudds. The guys who buy and shoot "hunting" rifles only as a hobby and don't care about the constitution.

Although I wouldn't have minded sitting next to the fudds if they kept to themselves, they decided to talk smack the entire time I was there. This was a group of 60+ year old "men" acting like 13 year old girls in junior high.

 

[gunbunnies]

unshelledpilot... haha.... I don't like that either as they don't understand that their hunting rifles aren't what the Constitution actually protects... Defensive and military arms is what it directly talks about...

Now I never mind sitting next to young ladies on the line but they have to be real young ladies not one of those Bruce Jenner types...sorry...

I know it may not be possible for you, but I've found that if you target getting to the range around the time it opens, you usually can get your choice of range slots. Of course, that may not work at any particular time, but I've usually had better luck with early times. Then I get my shooting done and get out before the crowds really build up. YMMV

Did some shooting this morning with INGO member DesignerGuy (he is also an employee of South County Gun Works).

Loaded some magazines & clips (full moon, thank you very much).

Did some practicing with a couple little 380 pocket pistols. Darn things are unpleasant as all crap to shoot. But I like to keep in practice so I blew through about 50 rounds.

Switched to 9mm and eventually to several different 45acps pistols and 1 45acp revolver.

Turned out to be a great day to shoot

Not garbage. More like burr bushes, brush, weeds, etc

I just make a big pile and set it a blaze. Typically I burn 4 piles a year, each pile is about 8' high, 20' across.

And burns for weeks.....

And burns for weeks.....

Not uncommon to burn for 24 hours and smolder for 72 hours.

A buddy just picked up a Bodyguard a couple months ago. I don't even know if he's had time to shoot it yet (pre-me twins, so, yaaaa, he's kinda busy). I did hold it and it felt pretty good in the hand. I'll have to see if he'll let me test it out/break it in for him, or see if he wants to tag along.
My wife's LC9s Ruger® LC9s® Centerfire Pistol Models is about the same size (7+1 9mm vs 6+1 .380) as the LCP Ruger® LCP® Centerfire Pistol Models . The LC380 (7+1) Model 3253 ships with a LaserMax laser for a limited time Ruger® LC380® Centerfire Pistol Models

I thought about that, but I would rather keep the stupid burr bushes contained while I am destroying them

I had an LC9 a few yrs back, but ended trading up for my 3913. The 3913 allows my center console to cover it so anyone who doesn't know firearms has no idea, but would like a 380 as I have been thinking of getting a CZ83 sometime and start reloading the brass I have. Plus I would like to fully close my center console so I can pull the armrest out to where its comfortable for me.

I have a Ruger LCP and a KelTec P3AT. Both are nearly identical 380 pistols. Both are miserable to shoot. Never tried the S&W 380. But I've really never seen/heard of/tried any compact 380 pistol that isn't miserable. Even a comparatively heavy and large Walther PPK/s is pretty miserable to shoot.

So is a LCR 38, but you get use to it after plenty of practice.

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

My wife hated shooting the p3at, but does incredibly well with a Taurus tcp, which is nearly the same size. Both are very hard for me to shoot well. I don't mind the recoil, but they are so small, it's difficult for me to get a decent grip.
