Thanks, Steve!

Me too! A beautiful suppressed lever gun. There is just something about hitting steel with a 400grain bullet that makes it sing. Woot!

Loaded my Glock and carried for the first time - to the department store where I bought some clothes specifically with CC in mind (not always as easy for us women).

How did you feel your first time out carrying?

Like a nervous badass LOL! I had to carry in my CC purse because the Sticky Holster I have didn't work in my sloppy too big jeans, so I was hyper-aware of keeping my purse on me at all times. But otherwise I didn't accidentally kill anyone so I think it went pretty well. Oh and I ordered a better holster tonight too. [emoji4]

My original reply was a much longer question asking if you were nervous or felt funny, but i took it out.
I still remember when i first started carrying.
You feel ultra conscious of it, you keep discreetly checking yourself and looking around like you are doing something wrong!
Relax.....and congrats on getting your CPL and carrying. I bet you also felt slightly more confident in your safety.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has felt this way!

Laid out for cleaning everything that was shot at the New Year's shoot and decided that I needed more guns. And suppressors.

Made more progress on my first 1911 build. Invented a new urban camo pattern in the process. Think I'm going to market it as "kryptek idiot mark."

Cleaned a couple of guns from the NYD shoot. Dremeled the bolt of the 300 BO that doesn't want to cycle my handloads. Hopefully that helps. Still a few more guns to clean.

Replaced a recoil spring in a 1978 Bauer .25ACP.
It was hard! (not) :)
Hopefully it will now be as reliable as my Colt Vest pocket (made in 1919) I was getting a few FTEs on the Bauer.

Went to fed way gun range shot the sp01 like a champ. Some dumb kids were shooting a 22 ar with the rear sight still folded down...
Then there was a guy that brought his girlfriend shooting for the first time. She only shot a few rounds and everytime she would yell omg!!! Then he was shooting and everytime he pulled the trigger she would cower and try to cover her head with her arms.... she was sitting on the bench. The wife and I just kept looking at eachother and shaking our heads, pretty sure my wife walked over and told her to be quiet because it was finally peaceful.
