Inaugural Shots

Here is the video of the AR's inaugural shots.  I was desperate to have some trigger time on Tuesday night after IDPA.  I have to say a big thank you and shout-out to John and the Hi-Tech Ammo team for getting the ammo together at the last minute.  Hi-Tech got John the components quickly.  John was reloading as he was headed out the door to meet me at the range.  Thanks, guys!

Firing the AR was quite fun.  However, I would be remiss if I didn't gripe and moan a little.

1. It was colder than crap at the range.  I could see my breath.  My fingers were numb.  The gloves didn't help.  (But, the gloves were super cute.  Notice the fur trim?).  
   
2. John, honey, you must stop yelling "Go!" every time I pick up a firearm.  Every video on the Pretty Pistolera You-Tube Channel is littered with "go" commands.  Where does that habit come from?  I will ask your mom, she'll know.  (Hey Loretta, where does this "go" thingy come from?  Did he do this as a child?  You think he picked up the habit in the Marines? Or does it simply stem from his utter impatience with the world?  Maybe the latter?  Please let me know.  Thanks.)
3. We didn't have a lot of time after IDPA.  I only shot one magazine.  I wish had shot 50 magazines with the way I felt afterward.  Om.

I'm no expert AR shooter, but if you like the vertical foregrip, I'd recommend spending the money to put a real foregrip on the handguard. Using the mag/magwell is a recipe for problem; if you have a case head rupture the vast majority of the gases are going to vent straight down the magwell. I can't find it off hand, but someone posted pics of a magazine after a head rupture, and it wasn't pretty. Having my hand wrapped around something that shreds aluminum sounds even less fun. :)

Nice rifle!
