Cleaning after the range

Bigkach · Jul 24, 2020

Me and my wife went to guntry today (busy as shit) to test out my new handgun. Her first time shooting a 9mm. Was extremely hot in the range so didn’t stay long but I’m extremely happy with this gun.

Good onya! Jealous. I have been at the mercy of Other Things That Prevent Range Tine. Glad you got the first outing under your belt.

Idk if it was just the amount of people or what but it felt close to 90 degrees in the range. I was ok but wife’s been having sensitivity to heat lately.

Hot flashes? You have my sympathies, hope they don’t last a decade.

So prepare accordingly. I suggest a mancave with separate HVAC unit.

I’m gonna be doing that anyway when we buy a house. Gotta make a cigar lounge.

The separate HVAC is critical.

Initial impressions of the shield thus far, BTW? An M&P45 2.0 has been on the list for a while and all my Smithies thus far have been revolvers.

So my very limited experience (this is really my first gun ever) it was great. No malfunctions at all,recoil was a lot less than I expected so I was more comfortable with it than the glock 17 and p226 I have used. My wife had no problem shooting it either and she’s only shot a glock 44.

I've been handling Shields and 9c's for a couple of years now. Never as much as a hiccup. The Shield is exactly what it claims to be, a 9mm carry gun; reliable and concealable.

Yeah I’m really happy I got it.

Good to know! I suspected that was the case the whole M&P line seems to be exactly as advertised (and reviewed). Have not really heard too many complaints, except for a few on the factory trigger. My only current 9mm is the Ruger SR9c. It has been exceptionally reliable thus far and a great shooter. An M&P45 2.0 has been on the list for a while now. It was overtaken a few times this year in lieu of other purchases. May definitely need to hold steady on it for the next purchase.

The trigger did seem a little tough at times but I will get use to it. When I get a 45 I will definitely be getting a 1911. Idk why I want one but I do.

Love me some Guntry. I need to make some time to go over.

I just got a membership so I’m trying to go as much as I can.
