Post; Heading out to the range for the last time.....


Well, this weekend will be my last time on the firing range before I get out of the Canadian Forces. I'll be firing a 9mm pistol for the first time which should be fun but they're from 1944 and the front sight has a tendency to fall off so it should definitely be an interesting experience

Sights? What are those for? Just point and fire

Well you are lucky, we often had to get rid of some canned CR - made in 1955 - I guess a front sight is a better worry than lighting thunder in the end of the day

What is the maximum effective range of a military 9mm? As far as you can throw it!

Well, they say 75m though I think you'd have to have one hell of a good shot to be effective with that thing at 75m
