PSMFG2 and I met up at local range last eve. He wanted to try out His 

PM 7 and I brought mine also. AND we both brought our 445s !! range-timebig-grin

So we got 2 lanes and had both going at the same time, didn't take long before we

were the only ones left !!! laughing We both tried to catch muzzle blast w/camera w/no luck frown

Kenn invited me over for a beer but I passed, knowing I had 5 guns to clean !!, took till 10:30 surprised

Here's my target, mostly 445s for the "Dan Wesson smile" [more like a frown] & PM 7 in center.

Another slight adj. on both and OK. And I took S&W BG 38 +P, Lotta bark in a small package, 

Good times occasion445-x-2-006.JPGImage Enlarger

Nothing quite like a 445 at an indoor range, you can really feel the THUMP.  Sounds like you two had a 'blast'.wink

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I remember the admirers that the .445 got at the outdoor range, two of them on an indoor range?

Shock and Awe!

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Total BANG up time !! Shock wave indoors you can feel in whole upper body, esp. face !! And after a dozen or so 445s, the 45 feels like a 22 laughing

We had a small audience outside the window ! range-time Kenn seemed happy w/new addition from SCORPIO occasion nice shooter. wink

Try taking video segments, then you can select awesome pics frame-by-frame.  Here I am throwing some cool "fire rings" down range with my buddies S&W .44 Mag snubbie with DoubleTap rounds.

Of course there's rules .. what do you think this is?  The pics must be taken of your group, by your group and awesome pics must be loaded into a post on the forum.  That's it .. oh yeah, one more thing; have FUN !!!

Pretty COOL Stinger !! My wife phone won't do frame by frame very well, or slow mo broken-computer

Still waiting on nephew's availability, but when he is... It'll be a DW not a Smiff pokebig-grin

I think We should extend the CHALLENGE to all dwf Shooters range-time wink

Interesting method of attempting to distract us from your ineptitude.  My suggestion is to quit playing around with phones and do some real work on a PC.

NO distraction, MY ineptitude is PLAIN to see laughing I have no video equipment other than phone.

Again, waiting on NEPHEW. I just thought it would be FUN to see MORE pics./vids. like your's. W/DWs

I'm no PC wiz, I can test and diag. VEHICLE computers, but not otherwise much confused, but I'm trying and not afraid to fail or be poke with slap Be patient w/my edgemucation. I am persistent.

Yesterday I couldn't even SPELL mechanic, TODAY I are one rofllaughing
