    Awesome day at the range!

    So I went out shooting today. I went down to the Garland Public Range today. Pretty busy but I got a lane quickly. Got my stuff setup and waited for the line break. The guy next to me was shooting an SBR that looked to have been chambered in 7.62x39, but it was jamming like crazy.

    After the line break, I get back to the bench and bust out the PMAGs. I go through 90 rds and take my time. Line break comes and I go out to check the target. The guy on the other side puts up his target and asks me what site I am using. I told him irons and he was like "Really?" since I had just about everything in the 9 and 10 rings. Heading back to the bench he had a pretty nice setup with a good scope. I finished off another 60 rds and packed up the rifle stuff to go out and get my pistolas. I find a lane (again pretty busy on the pistol side), and as I am waiting I strike a conversation with the gent next to me. He noticed that I was rocking the 1911, and said that he was glad someone else besides him was shooting a .45. I mention that I had the .40 as well and he shrugged and said "At least it ain't nonna that pu**y 9mm." and I had to stifle a laugh. I asked what he was shooting and he said "A suppressed 1911" and I was slightly shocked and said "Wow, nice" and hten he asked if I wanted to shoot it. HELL YEAH! So I got to shoot my first suppressed 1911.

    So I shoot all my stuff and gather up the gear and head out, there is a line out the door and and down the walk way to get in.

    I <3 TEXAS.

        Sorry I had left the phone in the truck. I didn't want to keep track of it. Since I am a computer tech, part of my stress relief is leaving it in the truck.

                  I just want to let you know OP, that I hate you for having freedom!

                  Nice work. I wish I could go out and shoot my suppressed SBR...if I had one. That kind of stuff makes me giddy like a school girl.

                    P*ssy 9mm? He wouldn't say that if he got shot in the face with one.

                    Sounds like you had a good time. I can't wait to move. I'll be living in the DFW area too soon. Sometime this summer we're moving.

                        Sounds like you had a good time. I can't wait to move. I'll be living in the DFW area too soon. Sometime this summer we're moving.
                        Moving during the summer is rough, as we moved here in August, right in the middle of 20 days of 100+ degrees. Summers here ain't no joke. Gets you used to the heat right away I guess. Invest in lots of water.

                        Do you know what area you are moving to? We are on the north end of the Metroplex up off hwy 380. I would consider us semi-rural. We live in a recently built up development. Our neighbors are pretty nice, and we even have a Dallas PD officer on our street. We live on a cul de sac so hardly any traffic. Kids play out on the street no problem.

                        Drawbacks (for us anyways) are the constant spider population during the summer. I must have killed 30 large wolf spiders. And we had a Texas Brown Tarantula on our porch one night. Our neighbor found a long black snake on his doorway one night. I haven't had any armadillos dig the garden yet, but lots in the road.

                        Shooting wise, I notice a lot of the ranges do not allow FMJ rifle ammo. I have had to invest in some soft-nose ammo. You can also use hollow point. There is a range up in Sanger that allows anything, kinda like how Lytle Creek used to be. Texas is shall issue, but no open carry of handguns. No restrictions of long gun carry though. It can get noisy during dove season, with folks pulled off the side of some of the back roads carrying shotguns. If you already have a UT permit you are good to go for CCW, but I plan on getting a TX CHL soon.

                        Still think it's high time to start a TX branch of Calguns.

                          Reason: shooting a suppressed firearm and being in texas...

                            We're moving to the Keller/Haslet/Southlake area, a little North of Fort Worth....not sure exactly where yet.

                            I'm not worried about the heat or spiders. We go to Havasu a lot during the summer and it's usually 115 there with spurts of 120-125, and I was born in Florida and have lived in the South so I don't whine about humidity either. I kill a million brown widows every summer where I live now, so I doubt the spiders will bother me either unless they're running over my plate while I'm eating or something.

                            I'm surprised the ranges are strict about their ammo there. I was looking forward to being able to buy cheap Russian ammo for range trips.
