Friends Trike - so much fun:
As most of you know, my son and I do a lot of WW1, WW2, Korean war reenactments. Our group also does Vietnam era events as well. So my son wanted to expand his events and we picked up a H&R replica M16A1 with 20" pencil barrel with correct 1:12 twist along with a Steven 77E Vietnam shotgun with the US stamp in the reciever.
Should be a couple of fun guns to shoot.

Due to my degenerative spine condition, I have had to significantly scale back on my sporty hobbies the last three years. However, I have a son and my best friend from childhood that enjoy going to the range and shooting. I had tagged along a couple times in the past. This past year I found it was something I could generally do for a bit and have some fun without amping up my back issue too much.
In February I got myself a new gen. 6 Glock 17. I tried a lot of handgun options, and just really liked the feel of the G17 at the range. Really fits my hands and shooting very well. I have had some fun getting better on irons sights. My red dot is still sitting in a box on the shelf.
I will say, the new gen 6 Glocks are nice. I really like the changes they made.
* Some may notice a handful of black mags, but a tan one in the gun. My black mags are for range FMJ. The tan ones (in it, +1 extra in home & cottage safe) are the self defence hallow points. Yes, color coded because, well, me. Figured, it is an easy visual that its stocked for play or home defense.
Sold off my John Deere & accessories and my large Ariens snowblower at our downstate home this past week as those jobs are now hired out to a service due to my back situation. Used part of the money to get this beauty:
A Smith and Wesson M&P Sport III. Nothing too expensive or fancy for my needs, but something that’s simply good quality.
Got it all cleaned and ready for the its first time at the range sometime this week. Looking forward to it!
I am not a big gun person myself. Hadn’t shot much since childhood and a little hunting with uncles in my teens. However, it is something I can get out and do somewhat regularly in a low key manner and enjoy. It is nice I have a couple people in my orbit that shoot, so something I can plan around and look forward to doing with them too.
I have some accessories on the way for the AR to improve it a bit from a comfort and operational perspective. Out of the box I simply added nice quality iron sights as I will start there for the fun of it AND the challenge.
BTW - I may be having fun sticking with iron sights, but I am a mediocre shot. Absolutely still a newbie to it all, in skill and knowledge.
