It's been a while since I was able to get to the range.
Last weekend I finally talked my daughter into going so I grabbed my 9mm SS VBob that I had a Bar-Sto 38 Super barrel fitted, as well as my New 38 Super Guardian, and my custom 10mm Silverback, Glock 20, and a Glock 30SF with a SL 10mm conversion barrel, and off we went.

To start off I grabbed my Converted VBob and let it rip.
All I can say is Wow! You folks with 9mm VBobs should shoot one in 38 Super when you get a chance. Accurate, reliable, sweet, stiff push for recoil. Strong ejection. I may have to consider installing an 18# recoil spring in her.
IMHO, having a 38 Super barrel fitted to my VBob was one of my better decisions.

Next I Began to break in my new 38 Super Guardian. Again, I love the Super.
I could really feel the difference in recoil between the VBob and the LW Guardian.
Not much to complain about say except I had a few FTF's due to an extractor that needs tuning, and I will be installing a long trigger. I used to be a three dot sight guy but the streight eight ledge sights are really growing on me.

Finally it was time for the Not so Silverback.
It was all home brew for this 10mm. Never even shot any factory Ammo.
It was just plain perfect. I just love the gun. No failures of any type.
100 rounds of pure blasting pleasure. Trigger was clean and crisp just under 4lbs
POI was just above POA at 35'

Thanks for sharing.... my wife's DW Guardian in 9mm is fast becoming my "go to" gun when I'm heading out of the house. Its just about perfect for us. 38 Super? Don't have one yet... but my birthday IS coming up soon! Who knows?

Thanks for all the kind words.

For decades I resisted anything but the venerable .45 in my 1911's.
That being said I went bonkers over Dan Wesson's and the all the caliber offerings this summer. I guess I just didn't know what I was missing.

It's sure a pain in the azz to keep stocked up with all these new type rounds and reloading supplies. :/
