Default Range day with No .45 allowed.

It's been a while since I was able to get to the range.
Last weekend I finally talked my daughter into going so I grabbed my 9mm SS VBob that I had a Bar-Sto 38 Super barrel fitted, as well as my New 38 Super Guardian, and my custom 10mm Silverback, Glock 20, and a Glock 30SF with a SL 10mm conversion barrel, and off we went.

To start off I grabbed my Converted VBob and let it rip.
All I can say is Wow! You folks with 9mm VBobs should shoot one in 38 Super when you get a chance. Accurate, reliable, sweet, stiff push for recoil. Strong ejection. I may have to consider installing an 18# recoil spring in her.
IMHO, having a 38 Super barrel fitted to my VBob was one of my better decisions.




Next I Began to break in my new 38 Super Guardian. Again, I love the Super.
I could really feel the difference in recoil between the VBob and the LW Guardian.
Not much to complain about say except I had a few FTF's due to an extractor that needs tuning, and I will be installing a long trigger. I used to be a three dot sight guy but the streight eight ledge sights are really growing on me.

38 super/9mm combo


Finally it was time for the Not so Silverback.
It was all home brew for this 10mm. Never even shot any factory Ammo.
It was just plain perfect. I just love the gun. No failures of any type.
100 rounds of pure blasting pleasure. Trigger was clean and crisp just under 4lbs
POI was just above POA at 35'

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
