Our event on Saturday was a huge success. We raised more money at this free range day than any other free range day in the past. Our club is a 501(c)(19) and every dollar we make goes to support veterans. A good time was had by all. No one knows how to host a shooting event like a bunch of grizzled old Green Berets.
We had an old guy there with an M1 Garand, who brought 500 rounds of ammunition that he donated for people to shoot. We also had ass loads of free .22 ammo. And we paid for everyone’s range fees for the entire day. We did sell 20 round magazines of 5.56 for $20 to shoot on automatic fire but that’s still a pretty darn good deal.
We had a food truck and an ATM there and my wife helped sell swag.
That is Apache26 in the photo. We became acquainted here on Armorama but it turns out we are in the same unit in Denver!
That is not my wife in the photo. She’s some gal that was ordered to be there to do community service. First time I’ve ever heard the term, ”on papers” before. But she was very nice and very helpful.
At the AAR I said, the only thing that could’ve made it better was having strippers there. They told me we’ve already done that before!
On the same note we will have bikini girls washing the bikes at our event in June in Pueblo, so if anyone is interested in partying with a bunch of grizzled SF types. I’ll post more info.

Time to load 2500 rounds of .38 Special/.357 Magnum. Ought to last me a month or two.
So now the question is - what is the next purchase?
I’m definitely getting the Staccato XC at some point, but now with all these bullets am considering getting the Henry Big Boy Brass Side Gate Rifle or Carbine in .357 Magnum.
I think I’d like to try my hand at Cowboy Action. It would go well with my S&W 686.
Either way, I should have both by the end of the year, provided I don’t go crazy and get another bike…
1000 are WC, for nice, clean holes.

Already cranked out several hundred high quality .357 Magnum rounds. I say that because they group very well.
Here’s another friend from my unit who was visiting, trying out my S&W 686.
Apache26 - you may recgonize him - CPT Dellinger. We roomed together quite a bit last year.
Try as I might I couldn’t capture that bodacious muzzle blast.

This is from the Free Range Day hosted by chapter 77 of the SFMC, the Schwarze Teufel, in Florence, CO several weeks ago.
Aaaaand a fun time was had by all.
Even Big Army doesn’t let you have this much fun at the range.

Has anyone tried a trigger job from Langdon Tactical? Thoughts?
Watch the recoil
Effects of recoil
I was reminded of recoil again last weekend. Met a friend at the range who has a S&W 340 PD.
Here are some features:
• Lightweight Scandium Alloy Frame for Easy Carry
• Titanium Alloy Cylinder
• Stainless Steel Barrel
• Lightweight – Only 11.8 ounces
I shoot .357 magnum a lot. But my S&W 686 with a six inch barrel and full underlug is heavy. In the photo from the other day, the guy from my unit was questioning how hot I loaded them. I assured him they’re nearly as hot as the data allows them to be loaded. He thought they were .38 Specials as the felt recoil is so manageable on my revolver.
Not so with the little 340 PD. The recoil is fierce. With a proper grip I can manage it fine but it was tearing into the webbing of my shooting hand. When he asked if I wanted to fire another five want with it I almost said no, but didn’t want to look like a sissy.
I’ll stick with my 686, which also cost me almost $200 less than the 340 PD costs.

New .357 Magnum wadcutter loads are looking good! I’d bet from a bench rest you’d see one hole. Wadcutter by nature is very accurate.
Sig P320 not looking too shabby with the red dot either. With my eyesight, I really have to credit the loads.

Shooting distance?
10m, yards, whatever.
A reminder - the MC is hosting a Bike Night (a whole day actually) in Pueblo this Saturday. There will be hotties washing bikes, among other things. This is not a shooting event like our last one, but we are all heavily armed and it is Pueblo after all, so there is always a chance of gunplay.
If you want to hang out with a bunch of grizzled SF guys and talk about beer, bikes, boobs, and bullets, this is your chance.
