Houston Crew (and points north) Range Day 09/14/2013

[benenglish]

Subseashooter likes his 1911s. The one on the bottom is a .22 TCM that was throwing little pills downrange in a mighty hurry. It felt weird to shoot and I really fell in love with it.

I don't know what Glockster was shooting out of his Glock but I seemed to be standing next to him every time he fired it. The concussion was skull-rattling. Seriously, dude, what loads did you have in that thing?

Glockster says he likes the PMR 30. I do, too. Nice trigger, light weight, and very little recoil makes for fun shooting.

Final photo and a good piece of advice - When you're out to have fun, bring enough mags!

Not sure what to say, working fine on my PC and phone.

May I repost the vids here so they're viewable in the thread?

 

[Glockster69]

Sure! I do it so rarely I can never remember the correct format.

OH, thanks for the reminder! I think the Rock Island TCM was my favorite ........................ too.
I really liked the heft of it and good checkering.


LoL ... that was just WWM 230 FMJ I was running, nothing special.

A mag dump from the PMR 30

Blowing up all of Glockster's hard work. Notice how many times most of the cans had to be hit to finally knock them off the rail; the were attached with nails.

Thats awesome! Thanks for the pics/video. Wish I could have made it. But in addition to my grandma's 93rd birthday, I am also sick with some kind of upper respiratory crud, and have an eye stye. I will def make the next one. Thanks again Curtis for all of your efforts, they are appreciated- even by the "schmucks".

That RIA .22 TCM was shooting Armcor 40-grain JHP ammo. The average chrono speed for 5 rounds was 2138 feet per second. Over 2K fps from a 1911! That's impressive and way fun.

Stand just to the side while someone else fires it and you'll see what I mean. Different powders can produce different perceived muzzle blasts even when the velocity produced is the same. Winchester chose some damn noisy powder for that ammo!

Partly personal to Greg: sorry dude, I wasn't ignoring you. I never was much for texting and with recent changes to my service, I'm not going to pay $20/month for the 5-10 times I would use it so I had it disabled. Hope your all cleaned out now.

No worries - sorry you didn't get the message when I thought you did. You must have thought I just punked out on y'all. I should have thought something was wrong when I noticed the pot pie was lopsided as I took it out of the carton. I'm guessing it got thawed out at the store and put back before I bought it. Feeling more or less okey-dokey now, I think...

 

[Brains]

Wish I could have made it up there!

 

[AKM]

I have to say enjoyed subsea's the most It felt really good in my hand. The only thing I didn't like was it's a little too light for my taste.

Oh really

 

[Sugar Land]

Talking about out of context. Looks like you guys had a good time. Sorry I blew you off.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Sure looks like ya'll had fun, good job Curtis!

Sheesh...I gotta go to Africa to have time to post....sorry Glockster, I meant to be here sooner to thank you again for putting together an awesome day!!

I'll second that that Hi-Point was a ton of fun!! I may have to start looking for one, I've been listening to the haters for years....thanks for bringing it!!

And thanks to Ben for the chronys!! Seeing those speeds pop up when you shoot is pretty damned cool.

And a big thank you to Glockster again for all of the reactive targets...I've never gotten to shoot more than a round or two of steel before, and this was awesome.

Here I am 4 days later and my hands are still sore from all of the abuse, can't wait till next time!!!!

 

[smittyb]

BTW, a Ghost, inc. 3.5# trigger connector has been ordered for the Ruger SR9.

 

[subseashooter]

SWEET!! Gotta try it out again when you get that dude installed!
