I was invited to a co-workers home in the country to shoot today. I decided this was going to be my misfit day. Basically shoot some hand guns that don’t make to the range. My Hi-Point c9, my Judge is what I referred to as my misfits . Don’t get me wrong I really like these weapons, I bought them, my M605 .357 carry which is NOT in that category. Also took all 3 of my Rugers, Sr22PB, LCP and my SR9c but didn’t shoot them just wanted to show them off. My co-worker has a Hi-Point 9mm carbine with a red dot and a Hi-point c9, Ruger Blackhawk .357 6†barrel and a Ruger LCR .22lcr.
We shot for a few hours and I was VERY impressed on the Hi-Points, NO hiccups, they ran flawlessly. I put 100 rounds of a German +P 9mm JHP’s through it and to my surprise they ran 100% and very accurate, I guess the plus to a Hi-Point besides the price is if you run out of ammo due to the single stack mag’s you can always through it at a BG and take them out from the weight or the ugliness LOL. Serious though, I was impressed with the Hi-Points performance and accuracy. My Taurus SS Judge Magnum w/3†cylinder and barrel I put 20 4 shot .410’s through it and my M605 .357 I put 5 of my co-workers .357 158gr reloads, 5 - 125gr Hornady and 40 Magtech 158gr 38 specials all at 100% so I really enjoyed this shoot. I don’t get to do it very often because of ammo surplus/prices and I am saving for my AK so I felt privileged to do this much.
After a few hours my co-workers son came out with his AR and got to shoot 2 shots with that as well, I have shot that before, he also just purchased and I was privileged to be the second person to shoot a mag of Blazer Brass .40 fmj’s with his new SR40c! SWEET! It was my first with the SR40C and by the way it fits my SR9c’s Little Foxx’s holster perfect. Like duh I knew it would. I am glad I got to shoot it; it shot very well of course but now I know I made the right decision for myself getting my SR9c instead of the 40, I can handle it much better. I also shot my co-workers LCR .22 which was his wife’s and the first time I ever held one. It was surprisingly light and to be honest my LCP’s trigger blows it s trigger away but to be fair my LCP is 2 years old and very well broke in and the LCR was purchased for his wife this past Christmas and not shot all that much. When I went to eject the spent casings in the LCR all but 3 casings came out and 3 remained in the cylinder because the ejector didn’t push them out and I had to grab my trusty Leatherman and pry the 3 casings out while holding the ejector out he said it’s done this before and I told him that if that was mine I would be calling Ruger. Wouldn’t you? I also put 4 rounds of his .357 158gr reloads through his Blackhawk (I shot it before) and it is sweet but not very well maintained. (hurts to see that) but it rand well.
Oh yeah I got to show off my 3 Rugers to my CO-Workers and his son.
So to end the day (the fun wasn’t over) I came home to a meatloaf/corn/mac-n-cheese dinner then the fun began cleaning the two revolvers and the good ole Hi-Point. Started out at 1:30pm and had all weapons cleaned and every put in the safe as it should be by 9:00pm. Was nothing left but a calm feeling and a smile on my face.
I took some pictures but it’s late and I will post them in the next day or two as time prevails on this thread. Life is good.
