That usually costs you 10 minutes or "oogle time" and now multiply that by the number of "babe's" at the show.

That's why I'm looking at the XDM. According to the .460 Rowland site its one of the few conversions that you can shoot: 45apc, +p, 45 Super and 460 Rowland all out of the same mag without switching anything. You can also do it with the Glock 21 BUT: they recommend you put shims on your mags, to prevent damage to the mags and having them drop out of the mag well when shooting (at almost $15 per mag). No thanks!

Assuming my lazy ass gets out of bed... I'll have my Tavor (with stock trigger though), AR with Geiselle SD3G with the heavier 4 pound apring, and a CMMG .308.
Also the store's Benneli M4 with suppressor. Bring ammo and we can have a test and demo session.

I have a Rock Island 1911, but I'll leave the 1911 category open for someone with something fancier.  I'll have my Range Officer Operator with me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is anyone interested in shooting some clays? Is this even allowed? I can bring clays and a thrower.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Clays are allowed, but throwing and swinging barrels side to side during a packed range probably won't work well.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong (I've only been there about 6 times) but: on the rifle/pistol range I've seen them set clays on the backstop, for people to shoot with their rifles and pistols only. They have a trap/skeet range but it won't be open.
