Range Report 2 July 2003

Edward Tinker · 07-02-2003, 02:34 PM

Went shooting with my son, who is just back from Kuwait,

We took out a 45 Long Colt (Uberti), Ballester Molina 45 ACP, Mitchel 357, and my 1914 Erfurt Lange. With the Erfurt, the ammo was some of those gun show "Reloads" 125 grain Total Metal Jacket. They were fine, but I'll probably stick with a different load next time, as I really had to hold the grip tight and then it functioned great. I remember this happening with the 1911A1, but I didn't remember this happening with the Erfurt.

BTW, we had a great time!

Glad you had a good time, glad all is ok. Something I found out about time is that regardless if its good or bad it still passes and you can't go back and experience it but for what parts you choose to remember. In the consciousness of deciding what is to be remembered there is also much good that is forgotten. I try to take effort to note time with my 83 year old father and my kids, time in one case is limited due to age, in the other infrequent due to locations. It only comes once. Glad you had some good time with your son.
