Yeah, sucks to live up here...
Spent the day at the range working with various and sundry ARs. I got to ramp my Sweetie up with a sort of condensed AR 101, and she was-- as usual -- super. She is a talented shot, as evidenced by the wall in her office of cowboy action shooting trophies. I mostly worked with my J.P. Rifles' AR, now fitted with a Leupold CQ/T. Weird, but the CQ/T is definitely not my favorite scope by far, but I shoot very well with it...'splain that to me! I can think of about 5 things I don't like about the CQ/T right up until the point I look at the targets. The targets don't lie.
I think both my Sweetie and I are going to start shooting 3-Gun. I'm going to set up one of the Stag competition guns with a Swarovski 1-6, then see which one my Sweetie likes. Shotgun-wise, it depends. I have an FNH SLP, which is one heck of a shotgun, but my inclination for me is to set up my Remington Versa Max, the SHOOTING GALLERY Shotgun of the Year...3-Gun parts for the Remington are starting to come onto the market...I have a 10-shot tube on order from Briley. My Sweetie is talking about shooting her FNP 9mm; I'll default to the Ruger SR-9 9mm that I shot in the IDPA Worlds.
BTW, I'm exploring putting a red dot on one of my SR-9s. I'll let you know as soon as I get a verdict from the gunsmith, and you'll see it on SG if we can pull it off.
BTW BTW, check out this "My Little Pony" concealment holster! It cries out to me...maybe the holster maker could do something in Early Cartman...
BTW-cubed, I've been carrying my old STI LS-9 for various and sundry reasons, mostly I like shooting the thing. I'm going to be up at Colt later this month, and I am thinking about a Colt Defender in 9mm...I'm also considering an STI Total Eclipse, but darn, that little sucker is expensive!

Where would you shoot 3-gun? I haven't found a good list of events (in Colorado)
Overload in CO
two things.
curious what it is you don't like about the CQ/T in particular?
and aren't you afraid rob's gonna post on the blog that your completely insane carrying one of those little 1911's?
after all they don't work!
lol, just yanking your chain about the 1911.
looking forward to the new season.
enjoy the weekend.
I'm sure Michael could make you a Cartman holster. Considering the hell I put him through with a list of specifications, yours should be a snap!
A My Little Pony 1911 barbecue holster would be 20% cooler!
"I can think of about 5 things I don't like about the CQ/T right up until the point I look at the targets."
I would guess that none of those 5 things have to do with actually seeing the target through the scope.

A very nice view. And your plan is to move to some acreage with a similar view?
Looks like you are pretty much on top of the "hill". I remember you mentioning you're a ham...all the bands were popping last night with the exception of 80 & 160. Looks like you have a nice spot to put a dipole up...we had sporadic E and over-the-poles conditions last night. Estonia, Russia, Eastern Europe, Middle East, South Africa as well as all the continental US coming with the E conditions. A couple of guys on 17 meters were talking about a contact with North Korea this morning....100 watts was good enough.
Re the red dot sight:
You might find it illuminating to read this post before having work done:

It would appear that Gabe has done some extensive research on the subject. Might as well benefit from it!
Drat, wrong one, try this:

Hi, I'm the guy that made the pony holster, and I could certainly make a Cartman holster. If this is something that you would seriously like to pursue, please shoot me an email at michael [AT] theholstersite [DOT COM]. I'd love to hear from you!
