    I will be going to a Gun Show on Saturday. It is being held at the La Crosse county fair grounds in West Salem, WI. It is promoted by Marv Kraus Promotions.

    Taught my great nephew's fiance how to shoot pistols IMG-20221014-171217710-2.jpg
    She never had before she caught on quick and did very well
    I started her on a taurus tx.22 then a m&p compact.22 then a canik sc9mm
    she loved it IMG_20221014_181318426.jpg
    Then we lined up her .350 legend Ruger
    My great nephew got her
    Nice rifle
    Loud with a muzzle break but no recoil
    She really enjoyed shooting silhouettes and golf balls with .22

    I"ve taken over 12000 rounds of .22 to my retired friend since last winter
    IMG_20221007_143228375_HDR.jpg He shoots every morning
    When he's able IMG_20221007_152151682.jpg
    He called me to get these working they were so dirty and barrels fouled from shooting you couldn't chamber any shells
    The one on the right he's shot the barrel loose it'll have to go back to Ruger.

    I have a few, but here’s the pistol I shoot the most: my beloved Shadow 2. I shoot B class in USPSA in both production and carry optics. I did some spring work and swapped the fire pin to lighten the trigger otherwise it’s stock. I started with it in production class than transitioned over into carry optics. She has something north of 9,000 rounds through her. Mostly flawless even when running dirty, gritty mags at outdoor matches. Roll my own 9mm ammo. Only problem I had was the red dot flying off the old aluminum CZC mount during a match which made for an interesting stage and a pretty funny gif my buddy made.

    Not shooting nearly as much as I used to because I’m trying to save my small pistol primers but I’ll still make a club match occasionally.

    Here ya go lol. This happened on the 1st stage of a 12 stage match. Culprit was the thin aluminum threaded plate the red dot mouted too. Screws eventually just pulled out the threads even with blue loctite. Fix was a steel plate that allowed more torque.

    I really like the czs out of dozens I've shot all were very accurate and reliable
    I still have 2 from 1996 a sa75 9mm and sa75 .40 I shot idpa for 22+ year's and they never let me down.
    Might get a p01 later I need a compact cz.

    Took duke with us to the range he has to go wherever that utv does IMG_20221022_122214404_HDR.jpg i covered his ears IMG_20221015_113953937_HDR.jpg
    My friends guns that little s&w at the bottom is a pain to shoot very heavy trigger pull
    IMG_20221015_112517592.jpg
    That little Ruger shoots great I pulled one shot but it's the top group
    The bottom is that little smith I couldn't do any good with it at all. IMG_20221015_115250456_HDR.jpg
    He had me shoot his .44 mag Taurus
    With his "hot loads"
    He'll probably blow himself up they were so stout I couldn't get any cases to eject he had to pound them out
    It's not worth the risk I told him.
