It's pretty rare when the missus (aka, far.c) and I get to go to the range together, but today was one of those days.
My usual spot was closed this morning so we ended up at Red's North. I actually like their range a lot, when it's not full of newbies, and idiots.
Anyway, I set up far.c on her lane with my Browning Hi-Power, a box of ammo, and an empty mag. I also left my carry mag full of +P Gold Dots on the counter, and went over to my lane.
My goal for the day was to test my RIA Tactical that I got back from Armscorp earlier this week. I am so pleased with the gun now. I put 200 rounds through it today and it was absolutely flawless. It had no problems feeding the WWB my Wilson Combat CQB hates, and it was very accurate too. Must be that new barrel. :)-~
Far.c really likes my Browning Hi-Power after today. She had never shot it before, and after shooting it she told me that I am not allowed to ever sell/trade it. She's never told me that before about a gun. In fact, she's been kinda "whatever" about any of the other guns I have had.
When it was time to go, I discovered that not only did she shoot up 3 boxes of practice ammo, but she shot up my mag full of carry ammo. Doh! It's good that she got to try it though, so no big deal. Thankfully the ammo situation is not like it was 6 months ago, and I was able to pick up a new box at Red's on my way out. I was forced to carry my own reloads out to the car though. Luckily, I didn't have to shoot anyone. ;)-~
Some pics from today ...
7 yards with my RIA Tactical
Far.c is proud of these, she was going to town on the headshots from 5 yards. (For someone who hasn't shot in over a year, not bad at all.)

Not bad at all for being out of practice!
I live an hour south of Austin, and have been meaning to make the trip up to Red's for a while now.
