Went to the Range with Tosh and his cousin who was in town from new York.
We let his cousin shoot stuff he can;t have in that benighted state.
Heck, he could even have normal capacity magazines for his H&K VP9 here, unlike New York where he's stuck to 10-rounders, so he enjoyed not having to reload quite as much.
I shot my AR15 which I hadn't taken to the range in awhile and the Carmel.
The Carmel continues to function perfectly, and the controls make it very easy to quickly manipulate. Fully ambidextrous and laid out very similar to an AR15 but slightly more ergonomic, it makes some drills easier.
Speaking of drills, we did quite a few.
Mainly we did the MDFI Qualifiers for Shotgun, Carbine and Handgun.
7 yards for hadngun, 10 for shotgun, and 15 yards for the carbine.
Very straightforward, relatively basic drills that don't take a lot of rounds but get you working on your reloads - something I don't often do with the carbine on the clock.
I shot the IWI Masada for the handgun qual, and The Tavor for the shotgun quals, and shot both the AR and Carmel for the carbine quals. The Carmel seems to be ore solid for the multiple shot parts of the qual and the AR being lighter is a bit faster to move around for the reloads - but the larger magazine well of the Carmel makes the reloads a bit smoother as does the shape of the bolt release on the Carmel, making the overall time for the reloads a little bit faster.
So it was some good practice, and a very fun time at the range.
