Over at my favorite lake vacation spot with the nice range. Id written shooting off as it's Saturday and I thought it would be crowded.
Wife insisted we go look.
Totally empty.
I don't shoot very often these days so as usual I shot too many guns but they all went well.
The Tupperware EAA Witness that didn't appeal to me last trip was about 2000% better after the new trigger. Accuracy was impressive and it might just ride with me since it ran so well.
Found that the wife's S&W 638 wasn't at all comfy to shoot and she couldn't hit well with it. Surprisingly she did very well with the Sig 365 which I also didn't like first trip but got along very well with this time. Good accuracy and she said it felt better to shoot, she needs more trigger time to be good but already better than the Smith. She did say the Smith looked cooler. Chip off the old block.
Shot the Ruger PC9 again and I love that thing to pieces. About 80 yards since the ground was kind of loose and sandy and I didn't want to get stuck beyond the 80. Shot probably 50 rounds that I could cover with my hand easy. Love that thing.
Brought a few others I didn't shoot but come back in July so I'll bring another batch.
All in all a very nice successful and fun day at the range.
Now windy an rainy at the lake, perfect for siesta.

Put this grip on the Sig P365 and you will love it.

I actually have that very grip on it. Your right, it does work very well.

Glad to hear you’re warming up to the 365. If you’re bothered by all the capacity it offers you don’t have to fully load the magazine. [emoji16][emoji15]

If only it could hold fatter bullets. These tiny little 9's I almost need tweezers to load.

I can agree with that. Of the 6-7 cartridges I re-load, the 9mm is my least preferred to handle them tiny pieces. The .45 auto and .44 mag are by far easier.

It's like them jigsaw puzzles and I've gotten better over the years with them - recently put together one where the box was marked 3-5 years .... ha, I had that sucker put together in one afternoon!

I gave up on one after 3 years when I finally figgered out some pieces were missing.

The other upside to them big boolits is that one doesn’t have to remove a shoe to count out the rounds before loading the magazine.

Making things easier is the name of the game. Not having to remove my shoes keeps things simple. You also have more time for shooting instead of loading. The range officer said that I had to leave my shoes on...........................................
