    Having an MM back day today. Been having pain levels in the range of what I'd call from the 3 - 6 range for the last few months (varying levels down the leg, in different spots depending on where the nerves are squeezed on any given day by my lack of disc material), but today it kicked up to about 11 on a scale of 1-10 and curving from lower back to right through front of quadricep.

    Elevated the desk to standing and the occasional scream of pain when moving was the standard for the day.

    Ortho Dr appt mid day tomorrow. Hopefully can get some steroids and some nerve pain meds to take the edge off to be able to sit in the car for some upcoming hours of travel.

    Oh dang ... that's not good, WS ! Obviously, I'm not a doctor, but it might be time to get the high-powered stuff that they inject between your vertebrae (a combo of steroids & lidocaine). It's an outpatient procedure.

    I feel for ya'. I recently had to travel by plane during a lower back flare up. I would have jumped out had the window opened. I (seriously) almost rented a car to drive home so I could stop as needed but 12 hours of driving v. two hours of flying.

    Hope the steroids take the edge off for you.

    Maybe. I really like my Scorpions. Having one in .22LR might be entertaining, and depending, decent for training.

    I agree, though I'll have to look up and see how heavy it is. Back when I was at NRAAM in 2019 and got to handle a scorpion I thought they were a bit heavy. Of course I also thought the Sig MPX was expensive even back then (little did I know I should have bought one as they got ridiculous after that and then certain barrel length configs became unobtanium. I was worried about the whole gen 1 gen 2 thing, etc).

    I really like having a dedicated 22 LR trainer that has all the same controls as other defense guns I have (in this case I'd end up buying a 9mm and a 22) as I don't have a scorpion currently. I'd like to get one in pistol config once the legal stupidity over braces is done.

    That's nicer than the CZC, but close to twice the price... :faint:

    I should have both at the Proteq Open House if you want to try them. Though, I have changed out the usual things that people change out on them.

    I did another trip down to HHRP after work tonight. This time, I was practicing with 1911s and the P10C on a timer. Basically, 4 rounds into an 8x10 sheet at 7 yards timed. Yesterday, I was averaging about 2.8 seconds and got down to about 2.2 with the P07 in .40 and near 2 seconds with the 9mm P07.

    I started at about 2.8 seconds with the full size .45s, getting down to about 2.1 seconds. I got under 2 seconds with the 9mm 1911 and P10C but dropped shots on both in getting there. I was close to 2 seconds with the DW A2 Commander as the best effort over two days.

    All of that sucks compared to a real shooter, but I'm happy with it for now
