After two snowstorms and an Old Testament worthy rainfall, today turned out to be a fine day for some recoil therapy. I hadn't had a chance to try out my slightly more powerful reloads to see if that solved the occasional K9 ejection problem, nor had I been able to shoot the two steel plates (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gong-Target-8-Diameter-3-8-AR500-Steel-Plate-/121554563642) I bought nearly a month ago from a guy on eBay who makes them.

I got out both Kahrs and got busy. Just shot a few mags out of the K9 at the paper targets using the table as a rest to verify POI (which was much improved with these rounds), then started ringing the gongs. Man, those things are fun. Seemed like before I knew it I was out of ammo. Nearly ran back in the house for more.

I'm definitely getting some more of those as I can afford them. Maybe eventually my little woodsy shooting lane will look like Hickok45's. Heh.

The K9 ran perfectly, today. I knew it was my soft reloads... just had to convince myself. The CW9? Perfect, as always.

Nice! I did the same today, and since I happen to be carrying the PM9, I shot it as I was to lazy to get something else outta the safe!
