Under Armour Waterproof Tac Boots

Had to get some waterproof boots for the rain and snow and decided on Under Armour.
my derert tac boots are SWAT and they are great.  Very happy with these new kicks with goretex and fully waterproof.  Comfortable and fit like a glove!

Single Shot Shotgun Pistol


This a crazy, really cool 12 gauge single shot pistol.  It was a rainy day at the Pumpkin shoot and
it was a ton of fun to blast this lil tiger!  My time was limited and the boyz looked super tied up getting the zombie course going, but man, did it look awesome!  Hopefully in the spring I'll have a chance to do a  few Zombie stages!

Pumpkin Shoot 2012



Some of the damage done by my ar 15 at Silverdale's 2012 Pumpkin Shoot.  It turns out that when Flarhett'ys changed the stock of my gun, they did not change the spring.  They left the old one in and it was not cycling properly.  In fact, it became unuseable as a small sping by the trigger in the upper was ruined.  Now it's out of commission till I get new parts and take it to a reliable gunsmith.  Thanks Flarrety's!

Zombie Ammo...just in case


This Get ready for the Zomies thing is hilarious!  It has turned from a tounge in cheek joke to a real thiving industry.  I love it!  Check out the Zombie tips in the movie attached.

My New Sig Sauer 1911 22 cal


Being a musician, I've been accused of being a bit of a "gear pig"  If I'm really into drums, I like to have many.  That's why I bought the Roland TD 20 electronic kit with unlimited drum, cymbal and percussion sounds.
I really like guns too so, I'm in!
 Eventually i would like to buy a Kimber .45, very hot and very shiny..they are beautiful pieces of work.  For now, to save on ammo costs and still get the fun (without the bang) I purchased a Sig Sauer 1911 22 cal.  I was also looking at the Wather Colt 1911, but the Sig felt and looked much better.  The green 3 dot sights and the overall ergonomics and aesthetics of the Sig won me over. I pick it up tomorrow, and apparently Mike's Beretta PX 4 Storm is enroute after shaving off a burr on the slide that caused the jamming. I'm psyched to run it tomorrow!

New toys for the toy



At the range I found the stock to my AR 15 a bit short.  I had to hold the firearm differently, in  an unnatural fashion to compensate.  Dom at Al Flarrety's is super cool.  We rigged up my ar with a new stock, new foregrip and new handgrip.  The stock is longer and feels waaay better.  At the range on Sunday for the make a Wish Pumpkin shoot,  I bought special Hornaday Zombie 223 exploding ammo for the occasion!

Beretta PX 4 Storm


My buddy Mike from Scotland is also a gun-nut!  So much so that he purchased a Beretta PX 4 Storm withe the stainless slide.  Unfortunately, the gun jammed like crazy.  It was not feeding or extracting properly so we promptly returned it and the shop keeper gladly gave him a replacement.  Much to our surprise he encountered the same problems.  The gun has now been shipped off to Beretta to be repaired. it seems very strange for this to happen to two guns especially froma proven manufacturer like Beretta.  Once it comes back I'll take it to the range and run a couple hundred rounds through it and report back in a later post.  Stay tuned!
