I only had a short window of time to run to the range yesterday and that fact ruled out Freestate since the drive is about 45 minutes each way for me. I popped over to OnTarget with my usual wariness that stems from some bad experiences there. I shot enough .357 to numb my hand and switched to my new Ruger SR1911. The third round failed to go into battery and there I was with a stuck slide and no handy remedies. I went out to the desk and explained my dilemma and the guy with the long pony tail grabbed their wax stick, came to my lane and gave my balky Ruger a rap. Round went into battery and fired and ejected fine.
I didn't catch the guys name but he was friendly, professional and approached the issue with a sense of humor. As I waited to check out of my lane later I saw him taking care of another shooter on the line who was having an issue. While this may come across as a "so what?" kind of moment, I wanted to post it since I have previously been critical of the staff there. I think I'm going to give them another chance to earn my money.
