So I took the day off from work for my birthday and went to the range to celebrate. Going mid week to the range is great, hardly anyone there!!!

So I took the S&W M&P Pro, the LB Monolith and the S&W 29-3 44 Mag.

Sorry for the blurry first photo, I borrowed my daughters Canon T3 and it was on some funky set up. I'm no camera guru so I use the basic settings.

Here's proof.

Initial shots from each gun, off hand @ 15 yds, same order left to right as listed above.

And a few mags later and so on.....

M&P Pro, 120 rounds no hiccups. Even though I naturally tend to shoot low and left, It wants to shoot REALLY low, had to adjust and aim high to hit center mass. The Apex CAEK kit that installed, that includes the hard sear and USB makes it run smooth as butter. BUT, there was a guy that had a regular M&P that had the APEX flat trigger w/ forward set sear and the trigger pull on that was even more incredible than mine. I must order the aluminum flat face trigger now and maybe the forward set sear.

Da Mono, 100 rds...Do I really have to describe anything here? Deadly accurate....makes shooting too easy and so much fun.....God I love shooting this gun

And the monster .44 Mag, 25 rds... What else can I say, it's a beast to shoot.

Those are chamber flags, so the RO's know your gun is clear when there's a cease fire to change targets.

I don't have the luxury of shooting freely like you do, so I have to go to a public range, that is patrolled by "range officers". :(

What a blessed day that you screwed up the pictures S&W and got perfect the LB. Way to go at the range.
