200 more rounds of ball for a frustrating total of ...4999 (again, it is more than that, but that's all I have written down.)
I ran it through 21 and 30 foot el prez drills on my 5 inch plates. Then I did walkback drills all the way to 40 yards (where I run out of space). It's an amazing piece and just runs and runs. Although I am not a fan of the sight profile, it is conducive to accurate distance shots.
You know, the older I get, the more I drift towards the classics. I am sure some of it is nostalgia, but to some degree these weapons really haven't been superseded. The 870 is an incredible home defense weapon, the 1911 is a top-drawer gunfighting pistol, and the .38 is about as handy a gun as can be found.

Of course, I still have my ARs, and my Beretta (although I don't have any plastic guns) but I just find myself shooting these more and more often.
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
