I went shooting today
It's been raining and the Izaak Walton range is muddy. So I went to the local inside range. I have an annual pass.
I was shooting my S&W M&P Pro C.O.R.E. 9MM with a Trijicon red dot. It is a sweet shooter. I replaced the original barrel with an APEX target barrel and changed the original trigger with an APEX trigger plus a change of all of the original springs. I really smoked the targets today. Some days you're hot, and some days you're not. But I was hitting the center of the bull almost every shot. A couple of guys in the booth next to me wondered what I was shooting. I let them take a couple of shots and they said wow. They said my trigger was amazing.

Looks like a sweet setup. I'm trying to find the time to get some 1911 range time.

Powder burns on the target are always a dead giveaway.

I shot one I think last summer, was worked on and had a 1.5lb trigger. It was amazing.

Quite an interesting setup. Did it take a bit to get used to the trigger?

Neighbor across the street has a nice little 100' range built for himself nice berms of dirt on some really flat ground. I am envious. I have to go South to use my range. I met my neighbor across the road a couple days ago when his BIG Kabota diesel, zero radius got stuck in the ditch in front of his Mom's house. He said he only mows about 12 of the acres they have...the rest is in money crop. I tugged him out with my Ford 4x4 and we got to talking. I told him I heard some run fast toys and had no place to pop-a-cap here at this new place. He invited me over to check out his bang spot. Nice.
I am hoping that with some elbow rubbing and small talk I might have a nearby place to burn some powder. There is always some shooting going on around here. I call it the sound of freedom.
