Fun with Guns

Today I visited the range with one of my good friends and we got to have some fun shooting our guns. I carry a 40 caliber Glock and a .380 caliber Kel-tec as my daily carry weapons. I’ve had the Glock for a while and I’ve become a very good shot with it. However, it’s a very big gun. For those familiar with Glocks, it’s the model 22, the full-sized frame Glock. Concealment of this weapon isn’t difficult in the winter with heavy winter clothes and coats on. However, in the summer, it becomes quite obvious that I’m carrying a handgun. I don’t really like to advertise the fact that I’m carrying, but I like to know that my weapon is there, just in case.

So awhile back, I bought the Kel-Tec as my “summer carry” weapon. It’s very light and small and looks about the same size as a few 22’s I’ve seen! I can slip this bad boy in my front pocket and you’d never know its there. The only problem with this gun is that there has been a mad-rush on .380 ammunition. Since I bought the gun, I haven’t been able to find a single place that carries this ammo!

Well, today I finally got my hands on some, courtesy of my friend. So, I got to field test this gun too. At first I was a horrible shot, as it packs quite a punch for such a tiny gun. But after 75 rounds or so, I was managing to contain most of my shots in the kill-zone.

The real fun came after shooting the handguns. Another friend of mine lent me his semi-automatic AK-47 earlier this week and I wanted to shoot it. So, we headed over to the rifle range and got set up to shoot! What a treat this was to shoot! It’s not too often you can say you shot an AK-47 assault rifle. The first few rounds I squeezed off just absolutely went everywhere, but eventually I began to get a little control over this weapon and started at least hitting the target. It’s not the most accurate weapon in the world, but I imagine it would scare the bejesus out of someone who was trying to break into my house. Check out this video of me shooting the AK-47 after I had run through a magazine or two.

The AK-47 is NOT an assault rifle. It’s a Homeland Defense Rifle. ;)
