The Road to Exeter (Sig P365 Competition)

[Jim Kennedy-ar154me]

Go about a half mile, take a right at Dunkin' Donuts, then follow that road until you hit a Dunkin' Donuts.  Take a left.  Then make a right at the gas station with the Dunkin' Donuts inside.  If you see a free-standing Dunkin' Donuts, though, you've gone too far.

Sounds like the directions were given by a COP. with 25 so close it would be COP's (And my) heaven. ;^)

My daughter did a search on her phone when she was visiting us, and Google Maps said there were 25 Dunkin's within 5 miles of where we were in Manchester.  25!

       Sounds about right.   
You might run out of food, water, gas, ammo, BUT I guarantee You will NEVER run out of Coffee. 
If Dunk's is to far, there's Aroma Joe, Krispy Kreme, and even Starbucks.   
That's why we have so few ranges.
Coffee shops don't leave enough room, and the 500 yard firing line would be to far from the bathroom .

And the first 100 rounds through it.  P365XL MS.  Traded my original Shield for it ($250).   
I like JM4 magnetic IWB holsters and the one from my Shield fits this the P365 perfectly!
I have a CompTac competition holster coming in. 

I was planning on only doing revolver Spring and Summer till the IRC, but now I need to put in some time with this in a match situation.  So I'll probably shoot this in the IDPA indoor league and do revolver in USPSA matches for now.

Looking like #4 will be the only PITA. 
Well that and some of your A hole friends ragging on you.

Getting ammo is the challenge now.   Same with components, primers  do not exist

That may cost more than the trip itself.

That may cost more than the trip itself.   

Here's the competitions for this year.

May - USPS Revolver Nats - 500 9mm
July - SIG P365 EDC - 300 9mm
Sept - ICORE IRC - 500 .38spl
Sept - USPSA GA State - 400 9mm
Nov - GSSF - 200 9mm

Indoor IDPA twice a month.  150/mo .38spl
Indoor USPSA twice a month. 150/mo 9mm
ICORE monthly  150 38spl
USPSA monthly 200 9mm

I have it covered if you count factory and reloads in stock.  I was putting away ammo & primers before Wuhan hit.  I can't just fritter it away, but I should get through November.  I do use the reloads in IDPA .38spl and for 9mm practice.  But I rather use all factory for the big competitions.  So to be comfortable I could use about 2,000 more 147gr 9mm.   BUT NOT JUST ANY 9mm.   I'm picky, picky, picky.

Good news is I'm slowly seeing more becoming available.   Also my LGS owner and I have become closer buds over the spring.   He knows what I'm looking for and what my price points are.   He's not gouging, but is limiting quantities so everybody has some.

That was easy.  I shoot on Friday.   Miss Kitty is still in a quandary about travel.  I think I can talk her into this.  We'd come up on Wednesday, see some sights Thursday.  Visit with BAC. I'd shoot on Friday and we'd go back on Saturday.

BTB, AE9FP 147gr American Eagle is available, no limit for $0.80/rd.  That tells me it should be more plentiful and more of it come June.
