The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[Hoosier45]

Careful. The ice is thin upon where you tread.

I packed a range bag a few weeks ago. That’s as close as you can get to going to the range without actually going. And now I’m prepared, if I get the chance to actually go.

I've got to order me one too. I had something similar a few years back, maybe called a miracle cloth?

Got shipping notification on mine today, I expect delays due to weather.

I am finding that by not shooting, my shooting ability has stayed consistent.

And also our ammo consumption.

I feel fortunate that the enabler only cost me 12 dollars instead of 1200

That is a beautiful piece of iron

And also our ammo consumption.

I have not bought any ammo since 2019. Except for 22...and some 380 from TD...and a bunch of reloading components...and some subs from you..and some 45lc from Mouse..and....

Well crap, I hate it when I slow down and think about my purchasing habits.

when I slow down and think ...

"Don't think! Feeeeeeel. It's like a finger pointing away at the moon."

Don't ever do that. I believe that's one of the first rules in here.

And all that 300BLK

And we traded the subs, so that doesn’t count

That is a great website for periods of insomnia.

What’s an sge?

An event where you don't really get your loaned items back.

I have PTSD from the SGE two years ago. Pulling overnight guard duty. It was me, another guy, and a cannon.

Cleanup on the Cannon isle!

Is this like that time you sold me those aluminum magnets? Those things still don’t work.

Who would want an aluminum magnet. A brass magnet is what you need and I happen to have one I'd let go...for a price.

How do they shoot? A range report would be cool.

LOL...you should know he doesn't shoot...only collects.

You have to use them on a flat stationary surface parallel to the ground. They worked fine for me. Just like amazon said.

Speaking of. I got a late night delivery [mention]MindfulMan [/mention]

Me too!

I would like to get a Mark IV lite or 22/45, but they don't pop up very often.

When the Wizard put his up a few years ago I could not get to the cell phone fast enough.
Good price on the pistol as one would expect and then came all the "V" goodies to make it into a for real target pistol. Then a big "C" goodie on top. CKW kills with it.

Evening folks!

Well, Shootapalooza 22 has drawn to a close. This was not the best of them and the round count was down. In 4 days, I only managed 3 range trips with less that 500 rounds fired. About 200 of that was through ARs with a .22lr adapter kit. I have 2 normal ranges I shoot at and one of those was closed this week and the other does not allow center fire rifle calibers, so the .22lr kit was what it took to do any long arm shooting at all.

The birthday is near over and I am back at work tomorrow. Guns are cleaned and back in the safe again. Today’s shoot was the SP01 in .40, a P226 in .40, a pre-B 9mm and a P226 in 9mm. The SP01 needs to enter the carry line-up. That’s a really good platform to use to toss 180g slugs at steel. The pre-B is interesting in that it’s all stock but it held it’s own when shot along side other tuned guns.

Found a bit of ammo at RoRo king today along with the birdseed. Couple boxes of .45 acp H/P, One box of the same in .40 S&W and a hunnert rds of 9mm ball.
Trip to the cardiologist this morning was uneventful. EKG was normal. Stress test on 2/15 just to be sure.
Saving up for about $7000 of exterior repair on the cabin this spring. Prolly no garage again this year.
