Chilly range
Little chilly range day. I changed the grips on the 1911 after 5 years, and also new hand loads. Still have some work to do.
New 9mm M&P, Getting used to it. Typical me though shooting to the left. Aw, but practice sure is fun. Here's some pictures. Off hand at 15 yds, with a decent cold headwind.

Re: Chilly range
It's a Colt Goverment 70 series. For the past 5 years I've been using the Crimson Trace laser grips (rubber). I decided to put the wood grips on. 2 weeks ago I could hit the skillet at 50 yds with the same pistol
Now the 9mm M&p I just have to get used to it some more. I might put the rubber grips back on the. 1911. IDK.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Chilly range
Love shooting 1911s. Looks like you do, too. Nice work. Very cool Colt, by the way.
