Gun-Day Sunday: PTP Lead-Slinging

I’m a little time-late here, but Brother Rat Doc H has THIS and THIS on his pre-deployment weapons training.

It harks back to the good old days, when he and I spent hour upon hour, hellishly good fun, at this place. He usually bested me on the trap range, with the Remington 870s we both bought for something 200 bucks at the Havelock Wal-Mart. A big fat breakfast at the Bear Creek Cafe (not there anymore, I don’t think), hours and hours at Flatwoods; yes, that was an era unto itself.

On a separate but related note, Michael Bane tells us that Ruger is now in the AR market. From the spec sheet it looks like it’s ready to go right out of the box, which is a good thing. I look forward to hearing how it holds up.

Oh, one more thing…


A shameless holster bleg– does anyone have a Safariland 6004 or 3085 for an issue Beretta, that he would be willing to let go for long-term loan (or rent), long term being something like eight months? I like this system; I do not like the SERPA.

    I actually have a member of our training group who has spent time at Flatwoods as well. I still vividly remember the ricochet that caught me in the mouth on Halloween.

    8 months rental. hmmm that is a curious length of time to need a holster. I am sure there is more to follow, now or eventually.
