Shooting Video

Here's the video from our last USPSA Match in January. About 15 minutes worth.

Scary Gun!

As I promised earlier in a comment thread about gun grabbers, here's my AR outfitted with the newest in evil features: the vertical foregrip.
Why'd I get it? Because gun-grabbers don't like it. Let's go down the checklist on this death-dealing bullet hose, shall we?

Detachable, 30-round magazines - Check.
Pistol grip - Check.
Collapsible stock - Check.
Vortex Flash Hider - Check.
Bayonet lug - Check.
Heat-dissapating foregrip - Check.
Vertical foregrip - Check.

I mounted a flashlight to it last night, too. All I need is a grenade launcher. :)

There it is, ladies and gents: the violent "assault" weapon so feared by the protectors of children and, um, criminals. The only problem is this: it's semi-automatic. It only fires one shot for each pull of the trigger.

Just like the not-as-scary Ruger Mini-14, which functions exactly the same, uses the same ammunition, but doesn't look as scary. The Mini-14 is equally as lethal as that scary-looking thing above. But the gun-grabbers don't want it - it looks like a hunting rifle.

Just proof that it's feel-good legislation, and does NOTHING but produce sound bites for the rabid liberal press.

Molon Labe.

1911 Porn

Picked up this S&W 1911 a few weeks ago; added a Smith Alexander mag well and a pair of green Ergo Grips from Dillon. I'll add a decent set of sights; most likely a pair of Dawsons.

I have yet to shoot this beauty, but as you can tell in the picture, she's loaded up with slide glide and ready to roll. Range report once I get some lead downrange.

Took some Christmas cash and picked up this little dandy today... Ruger 10/22 from Academy; Tasco 3x9x40 scope with mil-dots; Butler Creek carbon fiber bbl; and Hogue overmolded stock. The bipod is an old one that's been layin' around in a box somewhere for a few years... All in all, I'm in for what promises to be a tack driving machine for right around $500. The scope is probably the weak link at the moment, but at under $60; and considering what I'll be using this rifle for (fun!! squirrels...) it'll do just fine.

Now I guess I need to start working on the little project as to how I'm strange for Porta's Cat....
