What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Meer-aculous.

 

Aaaah, I guess that beats my "mere cat".

 

Had a nice workout again.

 

Finished a restoration of a #7 type 7 Stanley wood plane from the late 1800's. It's 22 inches long

I got to shoot a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 with a compensator (my husband's pistol). I've never used a .22 with a compensator before. OMG, It was rock steady!

 

Great pistol. There’s even a gun club named after it

 

How thoughtful of someone to name a gun club after it. Though, if they really wanted to do that they’d have the “Autocorrect Pistol Club”

 

A pistol club is what you have when out of ammo.

 

I have a MK III 22/45 Lite, but it is extremely ammo sensitive. CCI Mini-mags is about the only thing it will reliably feed. I had a MK II years ago with a 5” heavy barrel that was a real tack driver. I hate that I got rid of that gun, but at the time I needed a printer for letters and resumes, so I did what I needed to do at the time.

 

I have a couple Mark II Rugers. The 6 7/8” heavy barrel Government model is a tack driver. I changed the upper on this one and it’s a lot of fun.

 

@BamaT the CCi's are the only ones I will use.

 

Nice! Love it! I need to get another Government heavy barrel model. The 22/45 Lite just isn’t what I thought it would be.
