After all these years.:huh:

Ghosts in the machine. We were told that sometimes they're hot, and sometimes they're not. Power seems to come and go at random, and nobody has yet discovered where it's coming from or why it's not constant.

Good news folks... only 5 er..shots of the range. Not too bad...

Of course I had a stroke when the range safety put me at a firing point with a 25 yard target. Being the lazy ex lawman I am, all my training courses of fire (both NYPD and INS) were 7yds 15yds 25yds. With the max rounds at the 7yd line.
So I was like .. :o . My targets gonna look like a shotgun blast. Eventually I whined enough til the safety took pity on me and moved me down to the closer firing points.

ok on with the pics...

After about 300 rounds of .45, I spent about an hour cleaning my gun at Neals BUT since I ran out of Q-tips it required an additional 40 minutes more when I returned home. :o

Thank god for Chads dad Kyle, he was the one who spotted the stop rods slot in the slide rod. My Kimbers a new gun to me I had only broken it down once b4. It looks like a standard 1911 commander (with some shmancy coloring and other assorted accoutrements) but internally there are definitely some differences.

Overall it was a fun day with a minimal amount of sweating required. Unfortunately team GWX was too "Shell Shocked" to attend. :rotfl:

Ha! For all my teasing you about it, you still shot better than me at 25 yards!!

"Shell shocked" is the right word....we were devastated when we found out we couldn't use our 37mm twins or even our single 20mm http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/873...smilie2fw8.gif

....and where were the low flying Hudsons we were promised overflew at that time of day http://imgcash2.imageshack.us/img134/9742/angry8se2.gif

Nice shots BTW Mike (every pun intended) http://www.thecomicforums.com/forum2...icide_anim.gif http://imgcash3.imageshack.us/img412...uplargeon1.gif
