BassCliff's 7th Range Report, 1/23/2021

[BassCliff]

Greetings Patriots!

I know this is not my seventh range report here. I have been posting range reports on another forum, xdtalk dot com, because I also own an XD9 along with the CW9. I do have a couple of recent range reports featuring the Kahr so I though I'd share them here too. It's a bit less convenient here because we can link only eight pictures per post. I tend to take a LOT of pictures. Here we go...
*************************************

We had a special guest shooter today trying out the new cowboy gun she got as a late Christmas present. My daughter and I had a ton of fun today at the Rancho Magnum Range (https://www.magnumrange.com/), an indoor range not too far from the house. After going over proper safety procedures and operation of daughter's new Heritage Arms Rough Rider .22LR we assembled our kit and made ready for our range day.

I think someone is excited to try out her new six shooter.

We had to wait a few minutes for a lane to open up. There are a dozen lanes in this facility. It's a pretty nice place.

My daughter, being who she is, picked out her target. She wanted to destroy the evil IT clown. I picked a target a little more traditional. This room is between the lobby and the shooting lanes where you can put on your eyes and ears before entering the bang area.

We send the clown downrange and get ready to fill it full of lead. We are going to shoot all the pistols today.

My daughter loads up her pistol just in case that clown makes a move, or even if he doesn't. He's hanging around at five yards, fifteen feet.

Daughter puts a half dozen holes in the clown but it's really hard to see where.

This was her very first time shooting this pistol. She was shooting at his head. We marked the holes with the black dots. Don't worry, she'll figure out her sight picture. I put a reactive target on the clown to give her more contrast and make it easier to see where she's hitting.

Hi!

To continue....

Now she's really getting used to where her bullets are landing and getting used to her sight picture. She'll teach me later.

Yes! She's getting the hang of it and really having fun now. She says she likes the slower pace of the single action six shooter. It's a good first gun for her.

On a fresh target she gets serious. All six were right at that nine point circle. Not bad at all.

I wanted to do a little plinking with the new pistol too. I need a lot more practice with this one.

It's time for daughter to try her Mom's CW9. I told her to hang on tight! The recoil still surprised her.

She did not do badly her first time with six shots out of eight on the target, shooting at five yards.

Then it was my turn to have some fun. I went ahead a put a reactive on my blue silhouette. I think I'll try Mom's gun first too. I've never shot it before and I just put on a new fiber optic sight on the front. This should be interesting.

OK! Here we go. I sent my target downrange to seven yards, twenty one feet, and used Mrs. BassCliff's CW9 for the first time. That fiber optic front sight looks great.

I put another eight round magazine into that target then put on a fresh one to run through the first magazine of the day in my XD9.

It's been about a month since the last time I shot this pistol, heck, since I've shot anything. This felt pretty dang good.

Hey! Let's take a closer look. I see one big ragged hole with three shots in the lower left quadrant. I kinda like that!

We're back!....

For my next magazine I did a head shot double-tap drill from low ready. Blah, just OK.

Let's have a closer look at the head.

Meh. Seven in the head and three on the line. Maybe next time I'll use the shot timer app on my phone to add a little extra drama. But with all the noise at this indoor range my shot timer might pick up the other shots too. I'll work with it, we'll see.


Then daughter tried a magazine through my XD. Don't tell anyone, she likes my pistol better then she likes her Mom's.


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3cAtehKFnAOqyV9xU_oN5FYjYvZ13suWAWfbDe0X3NFPsARpUI 0gxdN8WcoE5u7Ygkd0LfNnJ1buTBb6B-pvOQQtrX4Xzd56HNtA8NxUj1oEuMTt5V17vuAJ2eOJWlgHgd0Y m-V6GstqZXHGIxJGMIZbA=w1280-h960-no?authuser=0


She shot a lot better with my pistol than her Mom's. It has a little less recoil than the CW9, enough for my daughter to notice and mention it to me.


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3eBKmrhoFQ2LYG_utxGbHl-1u6LpfSRBwv0k6wsYzml7tkCSiJAG0InZ30jXyKg_pI4njlw6j-1t0HarmP99AouKWVQTBSwLOpE0mzou4oc72Hx2kj3_hj3smPyD Crfaq7Dfrf9zXMHGsdR3MxKkQ6wFg=w1280-h960-no?authuser=0


Then she wanted to shoot her pistol some more. Hey, that's why we're here! She put all six shots on target again.


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3cGHMZqZIbGgMmcTPlvAyE37KrsSJYg44MY5xhQSNNSs2uIFBb Uu0202kt9HHoWdnUCyQUTVVKagqa9p_nO9McizOiyI6NS_CrnZ FFLPYbeb8OhA91EIyqzj96Eu-zaxudnfYEMN8Nei_xazCPx9GGiDQ=w1280-h960-no?authuser=0


It's near the end of our time. I repaired the lower reactive on my target and put a fresh one on top. I'll shoot one more mag with the CW9 and one more with the XD9.


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3czmdxDvvoc3eVZxVZRvdyLNKIIaiyyXaLzbzTfhGcY3yWrA86 lVfikoLbWnV5cEJrzAOvvay6OVMOFVmHXjqbocDh3zBjw8AkX8 joZr8W3jT9oQoH8dHFIeo3BpPI-B3P1GIeI61_ALRfQj3Fg9ziGCg=w1280-h960-no?authuser=0


I actually shot two more magazines with the CW9, one at the reactive and one at the dot on the left side of the head. My daughter timed this photo and caught the slide in action.

OK, last set of pictures....

OK, let's have a look. I didn't hit that lower reactive with the CW9 very well.


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3fzlWDPA6-Y5pHAgmfJy7KAVbq7UqwaDXQPybIbGj4g7Ys0CQxyaSk7HvG1x 0kVYW3n_VnL8RvreKalKWSDIkvNpBYlb4H2pSCfUEsv7N7rKwz Aam2dl9DCFnlvbUl5XvemhgRVnM_L_Q_a-VlmVY0NcA=w1280-h960-no?authuser=0


The eight rounds from the CW9 I tossed at the blue dot were in the ball park. The ten rounds on the top reactive from the XD9 were all in the eight point circle or better. Looks like five in the eight point, two in the nine point, and three in the ten point.

We swept up our brass, gathered our kits, and made our way out. Daughter is going to hang her target in her room. It will look good next to her tarantula and skeleton.

We say goodbye to the range on this cold, wet day. There's going to be lots of snow up in the foothills and mountains. I'm sure the Lytle Creek range is snowed in and probably the Burro Canyon range where we take are training sessions. Hopefully we'll get another training session in a couple of weeks. If not, this place is close enough we can run over here on a long lunch hour.

Thanks for coming along. Today was more of an "introduction to daughter's new pistol" and a slower paced "marksmanship day" rather than an actual self-defense training day. We'll work on that with our instructor. Until next time, I hope you keep the faith, stay safe, act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly. God bless.

Hi!

Here's a little epilogue:

Daughter was a Punky Brewester fan when she was little. We watched reruns. Now she's definitely got her own colorful "style" that I hope she will outgrow someday. But she's a great kid so while she's in college we indulge her as long as there's no destructive behavior.

Here's her target now adorning the wall in her room.

Also part of the decor, "Marco" the skeleton and "Fluffy" her tarantula.

She's a very responsible tarantula owner and takes good care of Fluffy, who's been with us for five years. I think Fluffy is close to ten years old now so I don't know how much longer "she" will be with us. It will be a sad day.


Anyway, I hope to bring you all another range report soon. I need to practice proper grip! I shared my range report with a friend in my church group this morning. He's a retired police captain. When I told him "Don't pay attention to my thumb positions, I'll fix it" he said, "Don't worry about that. The slide will teach you." Ha! Yikes! I hope not. http://www.kahrtalk.com/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7;)

I was gonna mention the thumbs but you been there done that. Ok on the revolver, not so on the auto.

I like that blue target, you can get a lot of practice without changing targets.

That was a fun trip to the range for me too!
Good for you and your sweet daughter, and I hope she continues her interest in the sport.

PS - my high school senior grandson outgrew his blue/purple/red dyed hair during this past year.

Hi,

Yes, that was a big brain fart on my part. I really do know where my thumbs go. I fixed it on the next range trip and I'm working more on it today with my draw and dry fire practice.

Hi,

This particular range has at least a dozen different paper targets, dot drills, silhouettes, zombies, etc. I like bringing extra targets to tape on top once we put too many holes in the first one. But yes, I like the blue one too. It has several targets good for separate drills.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed that. I have a feeling that my daughter will continue to shoot. Once she gets proficient, and her state Firearms Safety Certification, we'll look into getting her a semi-auto. She liked my XD9 more than the CW9, I think because the shorter barrel/lighter/thinner pistol gave her more muzzle flip and recoil. I was also thinking a .380 auto might be good for her too, not as much recoil. We'll see.

Yes, I keep hoping that she will mature out of this blue hair phase. It's harmless, and mildly annoying. But she keeps her nose clean and is really a good kid. I'm trying to pick my battles wisely. ;)

Get her a 9, don't waste a dime on a 380. Ammo is expensive and she can easily handle a 9 without issue. Many struggle racking the slide on the Kahrs, I'm sure your XD is much easier to rack than the CW.

Reminds me of a Winchester ammo seminar I went to at a range. They were shooting several varieties of ammo into ballistic gel. It was at our local prison range and they had a female officer shooting the 9 and 40 and a guy shooting the 45.
Being in a wheelchair and one of only a few out of perhaps 50 attendees genuinely interested, I was right up front next to the shooters.
Don't recall why but I asked the female why she was shooting the 9 and 40 and the other guy was shooting 45. Oh she said the 45 is just too much for females. I told her I felt if she could handle the 40 the 45 would be a cake walk. Turns out she had never shot a 45 and was fed garbage info from firearms instructors. So I convinced them to let her shoot the 45. She had no trouble whatsover and thanked me profusely and said she was getting a 45. Just thought I'd throw that out there, many under rate the fairer sex.

I appreciate this, thank you for sharing. I'm sure with proper training and practice my daughter could handle a 9mm pistol just fine. I'm always considering options and a "plan B", thinking a .380 would have a little less recoil. I hadn't looked into the TCO of a .380 pistol. She might like a .38 revolver. Who knows? We'll rent her a few pistols over the next few months and see what she likes. Mrs. BassCliff really likes her CW9. I'm surprised she let us shoot it. :D

For some reason, most .380s seem to be fixed barrel, which makes them snappier than they need to be. If you’re ok with the current high price of .380 ammo, I’d just get a .45 instead.

"let her decide what is best for her to carry". This is the most useful sentence in the entire post. So many guy, husbands, boyfriends and worst of all firearm instructors think woman know nothing and they know everything. Let the woman, girl and even new shooting guys decide. Let them try a bunch and pick what works for them.
I'm allergic to firearms instructors and range masters (most), there are some good ones out there but not many.

I’m glad I didn’t listen when literally everybody told me, “Get a Glock.” http://www.therealnicaragua.com/Forum2016/images/smilies/shudder2.gif

I’ve tried them, tried to like them, failed.

Why you delete your post King Rat, it was meaningful.
