All,
With January comes a month with 5 Saturdays in it and here in my neck of the woods, the 5th Saturday of the month becomes an available date for the annual IDPA Classifier to be shot.
Actually we shoot it twice a year and August was the last one for us.
My classification for the semi-autos is current until August but my Revolver rating needs to be renewed so I went out and shot two practice Classifiers today. 180 rounds total.
Did pretty good as I had forgotten just how nice it is to shoot a heavy gun like the GP-100. Nice and smooth.
Missed "Expert" on the time by two seconds or so on the first try and nailed it by about a half second on the second try.
Why is this being posted up?
Because after 180 rounds of 38 special run through the gun, my hands were absolutely FILTHY and it took several minutes at the wash tub at the range to get my hands clean!!
Revolvers are fun to shoot and load and mess around with but run a hundred or so rounds through them and your hands WILL be dirty. Big time!
So who was out shooting wheel guns this week?
