LOST PISTOL!/FORGOT PISTOL!

[Bigtwin]

I was at YSA today with my father and father in law, the person to my left was shooting with his father(I believe), we talked for a bit about his .308ar and he mentioned his .45 pistol. We were shooting at the 50yard range.

A while later he left. I continued shooting until the pistol range cleared out a bit. After being at the 7yard for a while(about an hour and a half later) one of the RO's came up to me and asked if this .45 was mine(since he saw me pick up my rifles last from the rack), NO was my response and I explained to him what I just stated. The RO took it up to the club house, waiting for the owner to claim it.
I don't know if the guy was a calgunner, but if so it is at the YSA clubhouse! Wanted to let him know. They have it, nobody ran off with it.

Must be a sinking feeling to get home and find you came back with one less firearm.
Hope this gets out to the right person!

Hope the owner gets gun back.

DAMN! My biggest fear. I always do the check at least 3 times when I leave. No joke, 3 times. I was given a 1022 - 25 round mag when I was younger by my Uncle. It was the only reason I bought a 1022 a few years ago, to finally use it. I took it to the range one day, with several other friends. Packed everything up and didn't find the mag. Til this day, it still pisses me off. Not because it held more then 10 rounds, but because of the sentimental value.

Hope the guy remembers his gun. Maybe PD can run the numbers.

That sucks, I always triple check myself.

OH I am sure he remeberd it as soon as he unpacked!
Sinking feeling too I am sure!
I was talking to another who overheard the conversation, if he does not come by to claim it soon, I think the range master can run the numbers with PD and find the registered owner,right!?
I don't know how far he lives from the range, or how often he goes there, but there has to be way to get it back to him without too much trouble I would think.

Man, I really hope they get it back. I agree checking my gear x3, I've left ammo before but could never think of leaving that.

Ouch. Tagging this to see if he was a calgunner..

Once, there was a shooter who left a $25,000 Perazzi shotgun at the range. When he returned, it was still there in a gun rack where he left it. I think in general, most shooters are honest people.

It's definitely a bad feeling. I just posted a thread last week where a travel companion of mine, left his 1911 in a hotel room in Las Cruces, and didn't figure it out until we were in Phoenix. I've never seen someone so scared or worried. called the hotel 9 hours after we left, and they found it in the room. Maid didn't even see it.

I ended up driving back with him to pick it up. Nice 10 hour detour.
