Today was our day to shoot the 9mm Handguns. We have been able to get some reloaded 9×19/115gr. at the range, and had some older rounds we needed to shoot.

We took 150 rounds into the range and shot them through our S&W 908 pistol and “Little Boy,” the Glock 26 subcompact 9mm pistol. Both guns performed flawlessly.

We also took the shotguns, a 20 gauge Remington 870 youth model (4+1 capacity) and our 12 gauge Remington security model (6+1 capacity). We brought a 25 round box for each of the shotguns. Although the security gun has a seven round capacity, we generally load the magazine with four and the chamber with one cartridge.

To address the shortcomings of the target hangers (literally - coat hangers with Boston clips affixed to them), we taped a large piece of cardboard to the clips and then taped targets to the cardboard. The greater mass provided by the cardboard seems to stabilize the targets which tend to sway from side to side.

In the video, the Better Half shoots the 908 both right-handed Weaver stance and left-handed single hand grip. She then demonstrates her technique with both shotguns.
