Hmmm, anyone else coming? I'd hate to be a 3rd wheel.

I'm out on M&E's and M&S's till I pass my CDL schooling and find another career either as a trucker or with another railroad.

On a more depressing note, wrecked my new truck today. Merging onto 94 from 49, semi was merging off 94 onto 49 and slammed his brakes, I thought I was clear left for the next lane, I wasn’t. I’m fine, other drivers fine, truck can be fixed

I can always swing by for a beverage (or 2) at least. I am less than 1/2 mile away.

You TCOB. You've entered that world.

My girlfriend and I went to the range tonight; I’ve been jonesing to send some more rounds at a target. My firearm now has a total of 100 shells it’s ejected!

I had walked away a bit annoyed by the way the salesperson had occasionally talked down to me while purchasing my firearm, but, upon further reflection, he may have just been one of them prickly types. I‘m very happy with my purchase and his picking up on my extreme sense of caution to suggest a weapon with multiple safety functions plays heavily to my satisfaction. And the firearm shoots and handles exceptionally well, too!

Twice tonight, for example, I pulled the trigger and nothing happened. I simply didn’t pull the trigger back with enough force, plus it has the trigger safety for additional peace of mind. Add to that the manual safety, which is in a great position and engaging/disengaging it is very intuitive. Last, but not least, drop protection. I hope I don’t ever drop my firearm, but knowing it won’t erroneously discharge upon impact also puts me at ease.

What are good/normal cleaning habits after discharging rounds? I’ve disassembled and cleaned my firearm after both range sessions. I’m sure it can’t hurt to be that meticulous, but I’d love more input.

How are you fellow gun owners handling your own personal ammo stock situation? What’s a good amount of training ammo to keep on reserve? The current ammo supply doesn’t make things any better right now and what I have gotten has been being at right place at the right time. This is a whole new world for me.

Yeah, this has been a long-winded post, but it was a good experience tonight with our hobby and I simply couldn‘t keep it to myself! Is there an appropriate subforum/thread where I can share my target practice results at? I tried scouring the forum, but it is entirely possible I missed it.

I clean after I shoot.
Some people do. Some don't.

Ammo.
Always buy more than you shoot.
Kinda hard to do that now. Ammo is scarce.
Start to store it when times are good.
Because something will happen, and there will be a run on ammo, like now.

 

[actaeon277]

Most guns now are "drop safe".
If dropped guns fired as easily as Hollywood says, the gun industry would've been bankrupt.

That being said, don't drop your gun.
Nothing in life is perfect.
And stuff breaks.

 

[actaeon277]

If you wish to share pics of shooting, you can start a thread, I'd pic general firearms, or pistols.

I'm liking the info that showed up on everyone's posts, reminiscent of the old format. Not sure about 'reaction' v 'points' though.
