Ghost Stinger Holster


When I bought my CZ Shadow I picked up a Bladetech holster for it.  I really wasn't happy with it as even after I inserted shims the shims I jimmyrigged for it, the firearm still pointed inward toward my thigh.
After some research I purchased a Ghost International Stinger holster for my CZ.  It's really well made,it's super adjustable and positions the gun perfectly for safe and fast draws. I'm just taking a break from loads of dry firing with the new rig and having lots of fun!  Can't wait to take it to the range!

Winter AR 15 Rapid Fire



Having some winter fun: Rapid Fire with my Stag AR 15!

Chuggz Boyle: CZ 75 SPO1 Shadow



Fun at the range with my buddy Doug.  You'll see why repeating range safety procedures is fundamentally important.  You'll see Doug pull the trigger, but not all the way, thinking the gun is empty. But by keeping the gun pointed down range, the surprise shot was just that, but with no ill effects.  Surprize!

Sig Sauer P220 Elite .45 acp



Another beautiful winter day at the range!  This video is day one with my new Sig Sauer P220 Elite .45 acp in stainless.  My buddy Doug was in town from out east so we had the full arsenal of toys to play with for the day. This Sig .45 and my CZ were his two favorites and, are mine as well.
Since I'm not a fan of the 1911 platform, the Sig P220 is perfect for me.  Plus it is an awesome looking handgun!

Sig Sauer P220 Elite .45



 Sig Sauer P220 Elite

After much research and consternation I finally decided on the best .45 for me.
As I've stated in my past posts, I'm not a big fan of the 1911 because of the safety placement and the grip safety.
   After pouring through loads of reviews, youtube videos and hands on feel, for me,  I hit the bullseye with this.  The Sig Sauer P220 Elite.
  Seth, at Lanz had one, and after gripping it and feeling the trigger I thought it was right for me.  Unfortunately I delayed and another fortunute fella scooped it up.
  Like a fine woman, they are hard to come by.
  So, coincidentally, I saw her again at place called  Al Flaherty's. This one was not American, but 100% German engineering.  She felt great to the touch and we reconnected. I knew she was hard to come by so I committed to her.
   Dom and his team at Al's are not only great guys but total pros.
 I'm really stoked to have this wicked .45.
I'll post again when I audition this lil tiger.

LaserLyte Dryfire Training System


LaserLyte Dryfire Training System

After much research and a lot of dryfiring I decided to try the LaserLyte system.  The LT Pro is inserted into the end of the barrell and is activated when the trigger is pulled.  A red laser is emitted up to 50 yards.  I'll primarily be using it for dryfire training, ie, target aquisition, accuracy of sight picture and timed holster draws while at home.   I though it was a good idea and the reviews seem impressive.
  What I didn't like about dryfire training without a laser system is you really don't know if you're on target or not, so it seems to me, that it helps with draws but not so much with precision accuracy.  I'm betting this system will help with both. 
 I also plan on using my shot timer at random countdowns to increase my speed actually see my accuracy levels.  The cool thing also is that it is used with the firearm I use at the range, primarily my CZ SP01 Shadow.  Including shipping the LaserLyte cartridge and electronic target were $224.
  I figure it's a good investment saving both ammo and gas to the range.  I can also practice anytime day or night! Once I try it out I'll post a video and a review.
