Took off work early and took my Shadowy bois to the range for a face-off and to test out some new upgrades (cobra grips on 75, gas pedal on shadow 2). 

Guns on the table pic from left to right and how I labeled them in the pics are: CZ Shadow 2 Carry with a Cyelee Cat EDG (S2C), CZ Shadow 2 Gold Digger with a Vortex Defender XL (S2), CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow with a Holosun 507 Comp (75), and a Shadow Systems DR920P with a Trijicon RMR (D).

All shots in the pic on the big target were at 40 feet. Bullseye target was at 20 feet. I think overall in terms of accuracy I would rank them from first to last as S2, D, 75, S2C.

So the story… I’m at the range and there’s only 2 other people there, a cop and an older gentleman, and we’re all pretty spread out and doing our own thing. 

I get done with my session and I’m packing up and the old guy walks up to me and says “Hey you look like an expert, you’re shooting is RIDICULOUS. Can you help me?”I say, “Thanks man, of course, what’s up?” 

He takes me over to his lane and tells me his gun is jammed and he needs help. He’s got a little .380 and he’s got a pretty nasty double feed going on. I drop the mag and have to manually pull it out because it’s pretty jammed in there, but it comes out relatively easy. The bullets both drop out as well. Problem solved. 

He’s very appreciative and makes sure to tell me again he thought I was killing it on the range today. 

Now I don’t consider myself an expert at all but I have put about 15 solid months of consistent training every weekend on the board. I know I definitely have improved in both my abilities and my understanding. It just felt really good to have that validated in some way by a third party and be able to help them out too. 

Shadow range day, and the coolest thing happened…
