If blogging seems a trifle light today, it’s because most of yesterday was spent in the company of Longtime Reader UncleKenny — during which we had a fine session at my local range, followed by coffee and a long chat.
I should point out that most of the chatting was done by me, because as I seldom nowadays have any social contact with friends, I tend to jabber on endlessly when I do. He didn’t fall asleep during said chat, and on occasion even prompted me to continue, which says much about his scholarliness and gentlemanliness.
I have without doubt the best damn Readers on the Internet. Thanks, Ken, and it was a rare and special privilege to meet you in person.
Afterthought: I should point out that nobody’s perfect: he did bring a Glock to the range after all, but at least it was chambered for the manly .45 ACP and not the other rubbish. And anyway, such lapses in taste can always be forgiven among friends.
A Glock in The Lord’s Caliber, eh? I’m sure you had one of your beloved 1911s for him to try. My experience with Glock fans is once they shoot a 1911 pistol, they normally will acquire one within about 6 months or less.
In addition to the wonderful trigger, the Glock 21 weighs about 30 oz, while the 1911 Government Model weighs about 39 oz. The look of shock on their face turns to one of pure delight after the first magazine.
He’ll likely have one shortly. Good on ya, Kim! You’re doing the Lord’s work. One convert at a time. Lol
Great conversations with friends and family is one of life’s spectacular pleasures.
Range time sounds wonderful!! Even a rough day at the range is a good day.
