Going to the police range in the morning

[Honda]

To see if I can qualify with my new Sig Sauer P320.

As long as you've been doing this it's a done deal. Relax and have some fun with the new wannabes.

What happens if you have to defend yourself in the rain?

Ahhh... reminds me of my military training at Ft. Knox, Kentucky. If we were in a downpour, that's exactly what our Drill Sergeant would say.

Other than that, training in the rain never bothered me. What did bother me was eating in it. Trying to eat while your plate is filling with water is not pleasant. Yet, we survived (which was apparently the point we were supposed to learn).

Now that's funny, especially if one hasn't had to live it. Need my t-shirt: Been there , done that.

Before we started using an indoor range the weather made no difference. If it was raining, you got wet. Just like in real life. Now that we use an indoor range it is still the same, but we don't get wet

I remember doing a full Structure fire drill in a pouring rainstorm. Face mask covered in raindrops. turnouts totally soaked, water running down the sleeves from the wrist to the armpit then down your body. We were out there for 4 hours pulling hose flowing water repacking hose and doing it all over again. And of course when we got back to the station we wiped down the engine, cleaned gear, dried turnouts and changed uniforms and hoped that a call did not come in because no one wanted to get back into wet turnout gear...

Got it done today. Shot an 83 (takes a 70 to pass). Most of my mistakes were the long range shots and I don't have excellent long range vision. Out of 50 shots 2 were not in the paper. Very pleased with the new P320, low recoil, very accurate (if a good marksman was shooting it), no problems whatsoever with the pistol ran like a machine. My son shot the qualifying regiment with the P320 and shot 94.
