just a girl pulling the trigger on a new project
Targets at the range tends to add up. Nothing serious, of course, but when you can pop over to Amazon and get a pack of 50 for a whole lot less, well duh. thing is, when you’re used to what the scatter pattern looks like with your usual target, it’s easy to think well heck,…
Safety first, of course, when transporting a firearm to the range. Picked up this little lock box and of course it needed stickers! The top ones are from my favorite Etsy shop The SigningStickFig and are based on ASL signs. The bottom one is from Emergency Toe Pain Coffee, an EMS worker run company. Check…
Wasn’t sure how much those dry fires and advice would actually translate to the range. May I eat my words/doubts. Is it perfect? Nope. Is it a crap ton better than it was? Oh yeah. I’m over my thoughts of just working on my tan. Besides, I’d just get a burn and peel anyway. And…
There are so many options out there for trying to figure out what you are doing with a gun. Pink Rhino is a dry fire snap cap that when the firing pin strikes the back of this nifty little thing, it lights up a laser for just a second. Now I’m cheap. There are little…
I, I don’t even know what happened here. See, i was sure i had things going in the right direction. I was low center, so obviously i needed to work on my sighting. It’s the two dot system on the M9, so clearly I wasn’t used to that before. know how they say try and…
I had this vision in my mind that now that I had Betts, learned a little bit more on how to hold a firearm, and played with those dummies that the clouds were going to part and the gun fairies were going to steer all of my rounds into a pretty, well-formed group right in…
Sleek, shiny, cold metal. And it’s mine. I want to fidget with it, “play” with it, get comfortable with how all the parts go together; but I don’t want to shoot my eye (or anything else) out. What’s a girl to do? Well, obviously it’s go shopping! Pop open the Amazon app and, with no…
So, yay, cool, I found what I wanted. Spent some time reading people’s comments on the M9; basking in what was pretty much confirmation bias that I picked the right gun. Searched for the best deal locally and landed on a deal at a big box chain store. I am a procrastinator. The Real ID…
By this point, it’s fair to say that I’m hooked. Like 100% on board and hooked. I needed my own firearm. I started with poring over websites, trying to decide what kind of gun is fit to be my first gun. A person only gets one first gun, after all and it should be perfect….
Turns out, closer to me is a different range, Magnum Range in Rancho Cucamonga, so figured it was worth a try. Also figured it was worth a shot (ha) to try a different 9mm. I go up, asked to try the Beretta 92FS, and— pout— it was out of service. Like a sommelier recommending a…
