It was a good day today

[Kevin S]

Work has been sucking my soul all week, so about 3:30 I decided "to heck with it!", packed up, grabbed my new Sig 1911 and G20, coupla hundred rounds each, and went down to Field Time for a little fun.

What a great way to change your outlook on everything. The staff - as always - made it a great time right from the get go.

And the new toys - lawd a mercy! I don't know who's my favorite right now; one-ragged-hole smoothness with the Sig, or the life-affirming delivery of 10mm love 25 yards downrange...

So - got 400 pieces of brass tumbling away, my babies are clean, Guy Clark just popped up on the radio,and it's time for a beer or three.

Yah, I know - cool starry bra. But I'm happier than I've been all week. I needed that.

Good for you, man! Gotta enjoy life when you can. I'm guessing the tumbling part means you reload your own ammo. What is your ammo setup for 10mm?

Touching guns always makes me feel good. Glad your therapy went well at the range

[HPBrowningMK3]

Range time+reloading =perfect stress release

[Capt1776]

Sounds like a fantastic afternoon! I could use that myself. F the "cool story bro" crap. It's good to hear about a nice positive experience.

I thought you were going to say something related to an ak

Thanks all; always appreciate the like-mindedness around here!

Sohappy - I've honestly just started on 10mm. Picked up a boatload of PPU a couple of weeks ago, and I'm just prepping brass for now as I burn through it. Waiting for some powder to come up available so I can start building some loads.

Fresh out of the oven after 60 mins SS tumbling:

I might have been next to you in lane 12.

Good for you brother, sounds like a truly wonderful day.

[trigger945]

Good day indeed. Jealous here.

Ha! I was in lane 13 from 4:00-5:30 or so. Were you the guys with the AR (nice irons btw), 1911, and the 20g? RO was on the broom, swept up like 30% of my brass

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Been a while (time, stress, laziness) since I've been out, and I had forgotten how much a little bit of time doing what you love can change your mindset. A good reminder for us all to take the time no matter what's going on with everything else out there.

Hey.. I felt better just by reading your post. Glad you had a great time.

My only other thought was you needed a 12 guage to finish up with.

Oh yeah... I'm with you on the powder. I'm good for rifle powder but pistol powder. .. no luck so far

[iMigraine]

Wow, I was there today for my first time. But I would have missed you guys because I arrived around 2:30 to 3:30 on station 5. The Range Officer was pretty helpful. He told me that I could use their sand bags and chair to bench rest my pistol so I could sight it in. Yeah, I lost a lot of brass from him sweeping too. Very nice indoor range and it was a bit busy too because half the range was being used for LE training.

Yeah, I was one of the guys talking with the R.O. when the conversation of the guy with an AK had a N.D. to the floor.

I was shooting a 1911 and a Socom 16.

That's right! I think it was when I first came in. I doubled up on the earpro when I saw the SOCOM. Jealous, if I ever finish building my MA-TEN, that's next
