Took my buddy and his 15 y.o. daughter to the range today. He recently bought a VP9 and an AR and wanted to get some rounds through both.
He's an infrequent shooter, and she'd only ever shot a few of rounds through his LCP a couple of years ago.
I let her start out on my Walther/HK 416 .22lr. After a few rounds, she was hitting a 10" plate at 100 yds.
We zero'd his M&P, then I zero'd the new optic on my 6920 and let her give it a go.
We moved to the pistol range and let her shoot his VP9 and my M17...she did really well with both and had fun, but in the end we had to pry the Scorpion out of her hand.
Put a hamper in our range day, constant fly overs of the range. Very annoying cease fires....karmas a bitch though. First pic, the gentleman had a rather shitting in his pants moment when is motor sputtered out and had to glide/crash in the field.
Did some Dot Torture and The Test.
Hit 277 on the test and reshot in reverse and improved to 282.
Shot @HCM .40 STI Delta 2011, serious case of the wants for a 2011.

CZ P-07. PMM comp. Fun steel range my friend set up. The upper part of the targets knock down when hit and hold electromagnetically. Shoot the ones with the green lights. Remote controlled from a phone app.

Was an interesting morning.
First up, my 2011 .40. Wanted to test some minor loads for knockdown steel.
Next, my newly acquired G48. Seriously WTF?? Does GLOCK purposely form the trigger blade to a sharp edge? 20 rounds, and I put it down.
From there, a Gen 3 G27. It was the first gun I bought specifically for CCW. No issues with that trigger blade.
A few mags went through a USPc in .40. Having given the HKs any attention in a while.
Since I want to reliability test the 48, I put a shooting glove on and shot the remaining 80 rounds.
Next, the range got a P365 XL as a rental, so I did three mags with it. It fired OK, without issues. I much prefer the recoil impulse of the 48 (except for the torture device GLOCK calls a trigger).
So, pretty eventful morning.
And yet I shot the G35 better. - likely a function of familiarity and being able to actually see the fiber optic front sight better than the night sight on the 2011.
The 2011 is nice though.
@NickA was with us at the start for Dot Torture and the super tests.
I was a little disappointed in my 271/274.... I can usually get into the 280s but that’s how it goes.

Had to cut the range trip short with @HCM and @JM Campbell so I missed the flyovers and 2011 fun. Still it was a beautiful day to be out.
Considering how little I've shot in the last few years I was quite pleased with my two runs at the test, 286 and 275.
