Had a good time and thanks James for letting me shoot your Glock...that was a first for me! Gave me a chance to test the pistol I got my wife for Mother's Day. :)

Yea.. I will say Keen and Cecilia missed out on a good meet, hope you guys make it to the next one.

Best experience of the meet was firing Randy's brazilian hi-power.... all I can say is, WOW! First time ever shooting one and if I recall correctly, I hit every single round inside an 8" reactive target at 21feet. I will say, I am going to be on the look out for one that's decently priced. I loved the 92FS when I tried it at a range and thought that was an excellent 9mm... and I hope I'm not glorifying yours too much but... If you would sell yours, I would buy it. Your wife's kel-tec was great, and my TCP was fun to shoot as well. The range is a must for next meet!

As for OC reactions, a nice old couple stopped me as we were leaving Parkway House, the gentleman was asking me what kind of firearms we had and what caliber. He then asked me if we were officers and I said we were citizens exercising our 2ndA right. Him and his wife were smiling through the entire encounter, so they weren't antis. I told them to enjoy their meals and to have a nice day.

Be fair..you were shooting at 21 yards... :)

I have seen a few similar tonight on gun broker, although the Browning models are a bit out of my price range.

BTW: the burger and fries were good as well!

Yea I was looking on Gunbroker and found this one near raleigh http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=342740816

I'm going to stop by a couple of local shops on my next day off and maybe hyatts might have one, I can just use the lay-away money towards one.
