Had a great day yesterday

Man, had a great day yesterday. Rode the scooter to the club, met a good friend there and shot many rounds of .45acp, .357 and .380. Then a great get together with Mel’s family in the boondocks and shot many more rounds of the same calibers plus 9mm and rimfire rifles and pistols. Then home, jumped on the scooter again and rode some of my favorite local back roads. Came home right at Bug Thirty. What a great day.

The more I shoot my Para .45’s the more impressed I am with them. The LDA has at least 10,000 rounds though it with no problems and shoots better now than when it was new. The single action is flawless too. I shot both of them yesterday till they were hot to the touch and for a while was kept busy loading 14 round mags as fast as I could so everyone there could shoot them. Only had two failures to feed, both with my home cast semi-wadcutters in the single action.

Yesterday was the first time I’ve shot a revolver till it was just too dirty to function. It’s a Dan Wesson and I’d tightened up the forcing cone, cylinder gap to .002 to increase accuracy and it did but it left less room for the crud to build up too. I was able to pop a few stationary clay pigeons with it at 50 yards which is better than I can usually shoot with a 4” revolver with fixed sights.

Looks like today will be all about gun cleaning, mowing grass, reloading and cleaning up the scooter.

Thanks to our veterans for making days like these possible.
