Range Report.....The Arms Room 12/03/2010
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2010 12:57 am
After a long (too long) a break for lots of hardly credible reasons, my wife decide to go visit the range today. The objectives were :
Shoot the Taurus 709 with the sights I put on myself.
Shoot the wife's new Sig P238.
Let the old Glock G30 clear it's throat a little.
Get some more range time under our belts and blow the cobwebs off.
We arrived at The Arms Room about 3pm and were pleased to see that we got the December special! One hour, $5 per person
That is awesome value!
My wife and I got lanes next to each other with no waiting.
My wife loves....make that LOVES the Sig. (and she shot the snot out of the target with it too) she had just one FTF but that was in the first magazine. After that....it just ran like a train. She rattled through about 100 rounds so it was a good first outing. I shot a few through it and it is a really sweet gun. I think I may have caught the 1911 bug after shooting this 'mini'. I have to say that shooting the P238 after having shot the Taurus and the G30 was like picking up a BB gun. Very little recoil, light but crisp trigger pull. Not a bad little mouse gun. We would certainly recommend one to anyone.
The Taurus had about 50 put through it and the new sights were sooooooo much better than the old ones. The triangle front sight was an awesome addition (even if I do say so myself). Put that downward point right between the two dot back sights and it goes right to the POA. All in all, very pleased with the sights now and the gun never had a failure. I truly believe that if Taurus are serious about the 709 becoming a viable carry choice it needs night sights fitted as standard.
The Glock was.....well exactly what you would expect, accurate and reliable. This was the seond outing since having T's fit some new night sights and that gun is quickly becoming scary accurate. The gun is my prime carry and my night stand piece so I like to shoot it everytime we visit the range. I was a little disappointed with my one handed (strong and weak) shooting at 6 yards, but they were all in the kill zone so I shouldn't really complain I guess.
All of the objectives were met and I was delighted with all the guns. The range was, as usual, clean, well lit and very friendly...the $5 per hour was icing on the cake for a very enjoyable spell at the range.
After shooting we went into the store and ended up buying a spare magazine for the Sig and a flashlight for 'she who must be obeyed'. The only black spot on the day was having to see a Champion Safe on display while I am still waiting for mine to be delivered...5 weeks and counting from the time I bought it! I am getting a little disappointed in Lone Star Gun Safe's lack of communication and remorse. They originally said it would be 2 weeks....they lied! If I hadn't have called them I would still be waiting for them I am sure.

I don't know why they didn't tell me that when I called before but I'm just happy the special is still on so I gotta stop typing now so I can get ready and GO!! 
C yall later!!
