Binge worthy series

I also shot ISPC a few times, but it was about 1 1/2 hours away, so it would take up the better part of a day, and I'd only get a few minutes of shooting in. Needless to say, I wasn't competitive. I used a 357 Ruger 4 inch stainless. It was a blast.

LOL the last time I went, it was near home, at an indoor range. I hadn't fired in a few years. The timer went off, and my plan was to hit the plate, and then go like heck. I brought a 15 round SIG 9mm. I fired, and MISSeD the PLATE!!!??? I fired again, and MISSED again! OMG how could that happen? Oh SNAP! I needed glasses! I couldn't see my sights. I can't remember ever being so humiliated.

I can't watch Clint Eastward cowboy films. How can he hit the guy who is on top of the mountain a quarter of a mile away, with a handgun while riding at full gallop?

I did watch a James Bond movie yesterday, and at least when his PPK ran dry, he picked up the gun of a bad guy he killed, and used it. But yeah, one guy had a 20 round mag in his fully automatic pistol that never ran dry.

If you're not shooting a 1911, you're really not serious about handgun shooting. IMHO. But Glocks are good for military/police. 9mm high capacity guns seem to enable those who really don't want to take the time and effort to learn how to shoot.

Meanwhile back at the ranch,

Amen brother. Still have all my 1911 .45s, but we're the minority nowadays. I picked up a striker fired hi-cap 9 (to shoot cheap ammo) and a "front pocket" .380 for my CWP but don't know if I'll ever get used to those crappy triggers.

4" .357. That must have been a "blast"! I used a 1911 comped "pin gun"- much easier on the shooter.

I had a 1911 that my friend's grandfather carried in WWI. I don't think I ever fired it. Years later I sold it back to my friend for the same $300 I bought it from him. And I was happy to do so.

I have a Colt Mustang. It's like a mini 1911 that fires a 380.

One thing that is nice about single action autos is that the first pull and the last pull of the trigger is the same. Whereas with a DA/SA the first pull is very different.

I'm hoping that's sarcasm, but I'm really not quite sure.

Ha! Sarcasm? Not even close. This is not the thread or venue for me to articulate your misconceptions on combat handgun firepower or skill, but feel free to pm me if you really want clarification. You might start with reading Jeff Cooper.

Back on topic. Modern day Westerns on Disney - Mandalorian and Boba Fett. Basically new, alien universe versions of The Rifleman, High Chaparral, and Kung Fu.

Defending Jacob on Apple TV +. An excellent crime drama. Not my normal type of show but this was very well done. Keeps tension the whole time

 

[ledbetter]

Pistol on Hulu is about the SexPistols and is pretty funny and has a great soundtrack. Basically about how a group of non musicians made 1 album and with the aid of marketing and branding changed music. Still like the Ramones better.

The Mandalorian was great, I thought Boba Fett was so so. OBI-WAN has been pretty good so far.
Letterkenny on Hulu is a pretty zany show.
A new show on prime called The Outlaws has been pretty entertaining.

 

[Dave D]

Ozarks, Mindhunter and Narco's are well worth watching.

'Slow Horses' with Gary Oldman, only one series so far but thoroughly enjoyable!

To be faaair.

Bosch: Legacy. Almost as good as the original. On Amazon Freevee

 

[greatscoot]

Just started "The Old Man" on Hulu. First two episodes have been pretty good. If it wan't 23:30, I'd watch another episode.
