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.

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.

Good shooting in those chilly conditions. That's a neat little spot to shoot.

Thanks RR, I enjoy the heck out of it, but it is uphill a bit, but I ain't complaining.

Darn good range and shooting there. Maybe I ought to take my 1911 .45 back to the range. Been a while.

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