I have been a ghost for awhile but I will be at lobby day. Too many things are going wrong not to go.

How will we recognize you, know who you are? :lol:

Bring friends, neighbors, co-workers - too many things are going wrong not to.

Thank you very much for the concern. I've been dealing with health & family issues for a while. A couple trips to the ER and a few days in the hospital over the last year, but I'm doing ok now.

I really appreciate y'all being here and worrying about me. Oldest and 3rd children have turned into accomplished marksmen, especially the younger of the two. I got her an old Anschutz/Savage Model 10 a few years ago and she can print a group the size of my thumbnail at the 25 yard line. Her group with a 1911 grows a little bigger: About a fist-sized group using some old TZZ (Israeli HARDBALL ammo made for their military) on a TransTar II (human sized silhouette). Oldest still likes her Combat Tupperware (Glock) 21, but got something a bit smaller for carrying (CC). I think its a S&W Shield of some sort. Traitor went to 9mm, too!

My back has gotten a little worse, so I haven't been carrying either .45 for a while. Usually have a Ruger LCR-357 nowadays with a few speed-loaders for travelling Downtown. It is DEFINITELY not a range gun. It stops being fun after the first 5 full-load .357 defense rounds. It sure spits a lot of fire, too. I've heard they make special rounds for short-barreled pistols that have less recoil and more complete burning powder.

I'll try to check in here more often in the future and avoid being an MIA Poster-Child! Thanks once again for "missing" me.

Fondest Regards;

Mike
