I would like to be able to shoot more and become proficient with the new pistol so I am able to hit what I want to under stressful conditions . Unfortunately for me , there have been many new houses put up in the area so stray bullets going down range could have tragic results . Not an issue in an empty hay field but unacceptable with a house anywhere in the vicinity , guess I will have to look things over and make a small berm so I can shoot .22s and medium size pistols without any chance of collateral damage. My good friend recently bought a 20 acre farmette about an hour north of here so we are going to see if we can put together a range there as well. It would be sweet to be able to shoot the pistols without driving all over .

The new Pistol is a winner , the only things I am not happy with are the factory case is a nylon bag inside a cardboard box not a hard case , and it came with only one magazine. I took care of both problems over the weekend. ran to the farm store and found out they did not have what I wanted , then ran over to the sporting goods store in the mall and found a Plano pistol case about the correct size. Nobody had spare magazines for the gun . After I got back to Ground Zero , I got on the interwebz found the Springfield website and ordered up a couple spare magazines those got here this morning so +1 on customer service ! I am happy with the grips , so now I have to figure out a good holster ....

I Tried out the new pistol today , It worked well , the Springfield Armory S.A.35. 9MM semiauto pistol is a sweet shooting firearm . There is not much recoil when firing , and it has decent sights so combined with the minimal recoil it isn't too hard to get the sights lined up again for the follow up shot , good trigger , and metal construction make a sweet shooting pistol. Wish I'd have gotten one of these things a lot sooner !

With the goings on these days one would not be out of line to consider being armed when out and about. An old white guy out walking alo...
