Harrison and I were shooting today

He turned 18 yesterday

It was a nice day, weather wise.

Jo and I went out and watched Beetlejuice. I snuck a beer into the theater in her purse lol.

Sneaky beer is the best beer.

Went and got a pizza at this really nice restaurant next door that's been there forever.

I got black olives, mushroom, artichoke hearts and I ordered feta cheese but they forgot it. I had a black porter from one of the Asheville breweries that's probably gone.

I'm pretty sure Eda Rhyne is probably gone, they were right beside the creek. So the couple of bottles of Apalachian Fernet I have on hand might be the last of it which makes me sad.

Trying out the new 1911. With one exception these are all five shot groups, they just all got a double hole them.

Best group measured 2.006"

That's 24 yards offhand fellas. Just old surplus ammo too. I think this thing might be better than I was hoping for. It's a Smith & Wesson, I had pretty moderate expectations but I'm charmed with it.

Anyway, Harrison was pretty disgusted and went inside. *shrug*

Happy birthday to Harrison!
 
It makes it hard for me to get the correct grip on some of the big double stacks like my Glock 40 and still present my index finger to the trigger correctly. I have to choose between a square pull or a slightly rotated grip on the gun.

These old 1911 single stacks just fit me right.

Is this the new thing we are doing now??

I have decent sized hands, but not big enough to cover all of the oil/coolant/grease/piss stains from the 94 Ranger in the driveway.

And if you were thinking to yourself, "I wonder if his neighbors think he's crazy standing out in his driveway, taking pictures of his hands...". The answer (based off of 3 telling looks) is "yes"!! 🤣
