Up early to get to the range when they open at 9am. Breakfast, equipment check and out the door around 8:15. Halfway there all the idiot lights come on, fan spinning, "engine hot A/C shut off". Except temp is bottomed out. I've had 3 thermostats since new and knew that's what it is. Turned back for home, 2 different auto parts stores, 1 for the stat, 1 for the gasket. An hour and back on the road, 11:30. PO'd that 1st time the dealer said "2 weeks out of warranty, $300." 2nd one was $130, $10 part 1 hr $120 rack rate. Today's was $10 and a total of 3 hours detour. Get out to the firing line about noon and noticed both the Ruger MKII and 34-1 were producing nice tight groups about 6" high and 4" left. The Ruger has fixed sights and the 34 is down to the bottom so I adjusted by aiming at the lower right quadrant and was rewarded with hits on the shoot-n-see. Broke out the CZ P07 and loaded 49 rds in 3 mags. I'm filling them to capacity to see if they fail. Cut my trigger finger pretty good on the sharp lips. Zero failures and I can get a full box into 2 17 rd mags and a 15 rd if I top off. About 320 rds through it so far (100 today) and If I do my part the bullets hit where I aim it. I can trust it for carry after 1 more outing. Didn't notice a wad of blood on the 34 (must have happened when I opened it for cold range). Not more than 15 minutes but it left a mark. Didn't break out the Model 15 because of the bleeding. Who needs "microstamping" technology, every empty had plenty of my DNA on 'em, thanks Eliquis. On the plus side, the weather was/is perfect. Joe
