Made a new friend at the range yesterday.
« on: April 07, 2024, 02:16:42 PM »
I was at my local range yesterday shooting several of my CZ's just minding my own business and enjoying my toys when the guy in the next lane interruped me asking if I could show him how to adjust his rear sight. I always have a few tools in my range bag so helping him was no big deal. He had 2 Sig's a very old Swiss made p210 and a new p210 Carry Custom that he was shooting for the first time. He said the was new to shooting and the old Sig had been his grandfathers and had been passed down to him and he had just bought the Carry model. I made a new friend and he let me shoot both of his guns and to my surprise the new pistol with a shorter barrel with all the bling was as accurate as the old Holy Grail of hand guns.

Sweet! I've never shot a 210 but seems like a great pistol to be handed down.

A few years ago before I had even heard of CZ, I was shooting my Sig P229 .357Sig. I was approached by a fellow range member who asked what I was shooting, showed him, and he asked me, "Have you ever seen one of these?" He handed me a 75B to try out. 😁

It is fun when you make new friends at the range.

Not going to lie but wanted to see a picture of a dog- man’s best friend but then realized it wouldn’t be good at a range haha
