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!

NC StarGreen Laser



As a cool addition to my gear I purchased a NC Star Green Laser Light for my M&P 9mm.
The cool thing about it is that it easily changes to a pistol flashlight simply buy changing the head of the device.  I'll have my M&P equipped with this as my CZ will be my main firearm for training.
If you look closely on the wall you can see the green dot.  i'll also take it to the range and practice target aquisition with the aid of the laser.  Pretty cool riggin' and not really expensive at $85!

B.A.D Lever for AR 15



Magpul offers a B.A.D. lever for the AR 15 platform.  It is a cool acronym for battery assist device.
It allows me to manipulate the bolt release while using only the trigger finger, thus eliminating the use of your left hand to pull the charging handle after reloads.  It's also effective in locking the bolt open when proving the weapon safe and clear or when it needs to be placed on a rack from a range command.  Super easy to install and a great aftermarket essential to increase speed and efficiency.

Smith and Wesson 686 Revolver 357 Magnum

Having a credit note at Flarrety's Outdoor store means a small piece of paper in my gun safe.  I'd much rather put it to good use.  So here's the good use!  The Smith and Wesson 686 357 magnum revolver.
I took it to the range and had a blast with this demon.  KABOOM!  Lot's of power, but it also shoots lees powerful (and less expensive 38 special rounds)

Concussive Force



Haha!  Live and learn.  I was shooting my AR 15 from 50 yards and the muzzle was a little too close to the end of my gunrest.  The AR is crazy powerful and the concussive wave that is emitted blew up my gun rest.  The stuffing was everywhere!  Next time I'll have to position it just a bit further away!
