    Very nice. Shooting suppressed .22’s is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.

    I just shoot my duty guns. I shoot them well. I find myself wanting a Stacatto and a different Pmag adapter (In Range credit) but my Glock and BCM are doing great. Accurate, reliable, boring.

    Mostly CQB cause reasons. Need more sims.


    Welcome back my dude.

    I'm probably getting my first Glock soon after 12 years of avoiding them.

    With nearly everything going the wrong direction here, I'm focusing on proficiency, reliability and meaningful redundancy.

    Focusing on the right things, IMO.

    Tactics, tactics, tactics, these days. Built up a suppressed 10/22 in a chassis last year for reps. Steel and cheap brass when I can. PPC's and Qual's, less for duty, have gone by the way side; I already know I can shoot.

    I've been putting in quite a few hours at work and we spend around 8 hours each Saturday with our 4 y/o granddaughter. As a result, I have not been reloading as much lately so I shoot a lot of rimfire 22.

    I have a dedicated rimfire AR, a couple of Ruger MKII pistols and a bunch of ammo I stacked deep before the Covid scarcity and prices hit.

    Its not the same as centerfire, but its what I do.

    The dream. I really looked hard at a house with a second story deck, a back porch and exactly 100 yards to the rear fence. I was prepared to build a berm and everything but there was too much "big stuff" that needed to be fixed and the owner wasn't willing to budge on his ask (it eventually went to foreclosure).

    I really tried to find a way for my back yard to work but I have dogs and kids on all sides so it's just a complete no go.

    Still doing O/T &P/T after my stroke 11 mos. ago. I can heft an AR now & do a lefthand mag change. I'm also getting ready to move - back south most likely. So lotsa packing to do & planning on how tote all my stuff. Wish I had time to just go shoot, but life is weird sometimes.

    Personally I have been been focused on my handguns as of late in mostly .38spl, .45acp, and .22lr, which means my Smith & Wesson model 60-4 3” and Colt Police Positive, my Glock 30, and lastly Walther P22 5” have been doing all the heavy lifting. I carry either the Smith & Wesson or my Glock 30; so, it is good for me to keep up with those two.

    Been really trying to narrow everything down as of late. Down to one Glock, I honestly have no reason to buy another. Working on completing my incomplete uppers. Shooting my carry gun every range trip for at least 100rds, mixing in reloads and really training with it.

    Some BS has been brewing around where I work, so I have started carrying a bag gun to work with me. I have been training to pull that out, ready and fire. Might downsize that one just from the time it takes to deploy, or see how small of a messenger bag I can cram my GHM9 into.

    Really my main focus this summer has been personal space and defense, being incredibly effective with what I am going to have at arm's reach if something were to happen.

    I’ve sold off most of my collection, and I’m down to one complete carbine (M4A1 type clone with a SOCOM barrel, and FF RAS). I have three incomplete AR builds that will remain unfinished for the foreseeable future, or possibly sold off. Haven’t been shooting a lot this year due to finances stemming from hip surgery, and ongoing legal fees associated with a “business” venture somebody got me sucked into.
