Gun talk or something beside the stupid title i gave it

Next was the FN 545, it was hitting a little low with the can. had to aim higher.

Went shootin this morning. took a Sig M-18 9mm, Smith performance center 10mm and a Tisas 45 auto. didn't shoot much at the paper and used a tree to steady my shaky hand. but i shot mostly at steel targets. i did stand up a free hand them. also they were 5 yards back farther.

I'm allowed to run my late friends shooting range by the family

These guy's inherited their dad's and grandad's guns about 35 year's ago and never had a place to shoot most of them they tried going to a public range near them and there's usually a 2 hour wait to get a shooting bench.
Damn they brought about 30 rifles, shotgun's and pistols
Every single scope had stuck cross hair's
From setting.
They shot all day and were happy to get to shoot them
Oddly a new in box canik tp9sf he bought for self defense absolutely would not fire
I have had several and shot many and they were excellent.
I tore it down and the only thing i could find was factory grease hardened around the striker i flushed ot out with remoil and it worked perfect.
 
I must be crazy,
Yep, been hit in the head too many times. it's 97 and humid as all get out and ole stupid me decides to go shootin after lunch. So i load up the 8000 pound range bag and head across the street.

First up was the 9mm SBR, it had a red dot on it and it was sighted in, so i decide to try the Obsidian silencer on it. just now can use it cause i got in the fixed barrel spacer for it yesterday. so i screw it on there and shoot. bullet hits way off. they were hitting all over the place. I thought ok maybe i need to use the silencer in it's shorter form.

So i take it off and walk by old dilapidated butt back to the house. about a 300 yard walk in 97 degrees. so i vise it up and take the section off and walk back to the range with the short version. no better, still hitting all over and i done moved the knobs on this dot back and forth til i was blue in the face.

I'm thinkin well crap, i done hit a baffle and screwed it up, so i take it off and try without it. same thing. ok so i flip the sights up and look through the dot with them and the dot turned off and fire two rounds. almost the same hole. i take the dot off and put the can back on and everything is all good. i did have to move the irons to get it right but once set it was good to go. i spent nearly two hours fooling with it. was soaking wet. Guess the red dot done bought the farm.

Shot at 20 yards on my tree i lean on.

The second gun was a Ruger SR40. i always liked this gun. leanin against my tree at 10 yards.

The third one was a Girsan 1911 10mm, now to be honest i didn't do well with it. i have shot it much better but after the first target i just went mad dog and shot pretty fast. the heat had done drained my ancient backside and i was ready to go home. i knew i still had to clean that crap up . Shot 400 rounds between the three of them, most on the SBR

I did not know.540" face 700 actions were worth that, I have one in a shop towel in the shop somewhere minus the trigg


I don't know that they are, the one I saw in the recently completed sold for $210 with no bolt. Just threw it out there to see what happens. If it doesn't get a bid I'll lower it and relist.
