I upgraded the RDS on my 1187 Special Purpose to an Aimpoint Micro. I’m taking it to Greg Ellifrirz’s shotgun class this weekend so I got it zeroed with the Truballs that I’ll use if I’m able to deer hunt this season. I then put 50 rounds through my Shield Plus, mostly on 2” dots. I tried a couple different types of ammunition through my M&P22C. I let a student use it last time I taught a concealed carry class and it didn’t work with the ammunition I had brought. So far, only that one type (Auto Match) doesn’t run in it very well.
I then checked the zero on my Ruger 22/45/TacSol/Aimpoint/Sparrow pistol with the Gemtech suppressor ammunition. I thought the first three round group was a fluke so I shot five rounds at another 2” dot (at 25 yards). I was pretty happy with the zero.
I am not a member, but was there for three gun Sunday.
I will probably join one of these months (they credit your match fee if you do), I thought about it Sunday and then reminded myself I have been going through money like shit through a goose. Maybe next month...

Really need to commit to dry fire to free up more shooting time for clays.
Got to shoot my Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite and my Walther P 22.
Shot 50 rounds of Stingers in the P 22 and then 100 rounds of Blazer and 50 rounds of Aguila 40 grain ammo in the 22/45.
Both guns worked great.
I got to go shooting today. It wasn’t the nicest day, cloudy, windy as could be, and I was thankful for layers.
I took some revolvers:
I managed a 173 on the HiTS Revolver Super Test with the short barreled 66:
For grins, I did a little Spy vs Spy with the Model 60:
I didn’t shoot too long, less than a couple of hours. I was having light strikes with the 3” barreled 64. I replaced the mainspring in it after I got home and do believe that was the issue.
Had a good time, but it was a little sad. This was my first trip to the range since my shooting buddy passed away two weeks ago. I knew it was gonna be a little rough and that I was gonna miss him. Both things were true. On the good side, I got the first one out of the way and hoped they’ll get easier after this one.
Anyway, I took a little photo of the spot where he’s supposed to be at, just for the memories:
Local (sorta) long-range match at MCB Quantico. 2.5 hour drive, and a very reasonable fee for a 103-round PRS style match. Conditions were very nice: 62 degrees, overcast with calm wind in the morning, and a sunny 72 degrees with light winds at noon/afternoon.
I was very happy to shoot a score of 89. Had a few magazine issues, and a few brain-fades with led to some dropped points. I need to practice getting into position and firing more quickly. On two of the stages I left points out there, because I did not complete the stage. Room for improvement. I would have been happy with winning the match, but I placed second. Because my shooting buddy, who drove us to the match (in his Prius!) won the match with a score of 93. He cleaned 7 out of the 10 stages. Very nice shooting! Two ordinary guys in a Prius.
Here is my rifle:
