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.

Zero Dark Thirty

It was a sunny beautiful day today...minus 26 with the windchill but a perfect day to shoot a couple small targets of one of history's biggest assholes!
  I would never shoot a target that represents an actual person other than this lunatic and that well known Nazi dickbrain! ( I did mix it up with some 9mm, 38 specials and a few well placed 357 magnum shots.)

Dirty Harry .44 Smith and Wesson

January 10th 2013: Beautiful sunny day, 8 degrees and warm.  I once again met a some cool guys today, and Bill from St. Catherines,  has a .44 magnum Smith and Wesson blued.
 This is a gorgeous high power piece!  Here's a vid of me shooting it, and of course I had to mix it with a lil Metallica! Listen to the shots and coincidentally,  3 of 4 are in totally perfect time with the music.

New Year's Day 2013

New Year's Day 2013, no hangover and training at the range!  As per the last post, these targets are pretty small.  I placed one in front to simulate a hostage and I target the one behind as the hostage taker.It makes it easier for me to make each shot count.
 I managed to cut out a nice smiley face on the hostage taker and fired off 6 clips or 60 rounds. 
My CZ trigger is pretty light and I did have 2 ad's (accidental discharges) Unfortunately, I happened to hit the hostage twice. Challenging drill and I'll post better results next time
(I do like the smiley face I managed to carve out)  And remember the five and a half shots below smiley face are nasty for him as well!

December 2012 Ar@50

Here's a small target at 50 yards using my Stag AR 15 and Bushnell scope.  My index finger puts the target to scale for an idea of the grouping.  Stay posted!
