Check out the CS tactical in officer size
RIA's commander (MS or mid size) is nice, but only comes in the GI setup. Their Officer (CS or compact size) runs just as reliably and comes with better sights for a modest increase in price.

Two old men and one old dog were seen at the range yesterday shooting guns and the bull, with the help on one old faithful guard dog. All had a good time to bad little Greener could not make it , but someone has to work.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Too bad you were not there, that is a secret kept by old dogs and old men. But it must have been a nice day for diving also.

It's getting to where I can reasonably expect my CC ticket to show up in the mail, any time in the next month or so. - Could be tomorrow.

I have nine and ten millimeter autos standing by, each with a concealment holster etc..

Charles, I had a 7week wait when I got mine. Start wearing your CC setup around the house to get use to it if wearing a holster is new to you.

I'm going in for the renewal class in a couple of weeks. :wink:

Neither the targets nor the bulls were safe. A great time was had by all.

hey, little
Greener, we missed you and did talk about you and all that was said was good. Ask the Big Greener how a stock 10/22 shoots?

If you can get a few to make one ragged hole, you can dump the rest of the mag into the berm and no one knows the difference, unless they see the dirt fly. When it gets boring the dandelion blossoms get shot off the stem or later in the season the
Queen Ann;s lace flowers catch Hell.

And challenging too, dandelion stems are bigger than tthe Queen Ann's lace, you got to joy yje stem square on just below the blossom to get a clean cut. Half lengths of blacboard chalk are fun also especially at 100 yard with the 17HMR or the .223, 58 yards for the 22LR is about macx as far as I aam concerned.
