Since we are seeing so much “unrest for peace” I wanted to make sure the tools and skills were still working.
Evil Black Rifle given a check on function and sight.
No flaws and I will take that group any day. It also rang the steel target on the back rather nicely.
As for the shotgun, I shot at steel targets 25 yards and beyond and hit every frigging time which is a testament to the Tokarev TX 3 than by limited abilities with it. Plus it is a gorgeous weapon.
The sling is by Andy’s Leather and it gives it such a touch of class I am embarrassed to admit I considered attaching some tactical crap to it.
And it looks great with a bayonet and the lens of Oleg Volk.
I got to play with a friend’s ARs in 9mm: one with full giggle switch and one with a binary trigger which was a weird experience. I may blog about it later.
And I also did some pistol drills which reminded me that the moment I get stupidly confident is the moment I get distracted and start missing.
Binary triggers are useless and dangerous in a real conflict. Sure, play with them on the range, but leave them at home in a fight.
Jack, absolutely correct. I’m going to bet Miguel knows this to a tactical certainty.
I think so, but I had to say it in case some reader didn’t know.
I knew that was your intention, Jack. Years ago, as in fifty, I was one of ‘those people’ who believed a full auto was the best possible solution to a deadly threat against me, until I tried shooting one. After about 200 rounds I still could barely keep a few of my shots on a 4′ by 4′ plywood target area, standing still let along while mobile. I came to the conclusion that TV gun battles were a lie. lol. This determination caused me to begin perfecting trigger control while mobile instead.
Your experience is the same as mine, though mine was only 20+ years ago. I started late. That said, I know people who can control full- auto but it takes experience, training and practice not available to ordinary folks. And even they use full- auto only for suppressive fire.
The binary trigger thing is different, but is just as likely to lead to shooting something or someone you didn’t intend to and shouldn’t have.
As I gaze upon the last picture of this post, I can’t help but ‘desire’ a change in footwear, say…..some standard issue army boots. Love the overall ‘posture’ of this fine recruit. ? (sorry, but it’s my day off and feeling rather….fine)
For purposes of that pic, the footwear is perfect.
Imagine the look on some burglar’s face when a pretty girl wearing a sundress and some slip on flat shoes gives them exactly what they deserve.
Later that day in the holding cell…
“Dude, you got had by a chick! Bend over…”
It’s my fantasy, and I say Combat Boots.
