Glock 30 & Magazines

glock-30-magsBehold my new Glock model 30. Holster by Bianchi. – depicted with two ten-round magazines.

I really like this gun. Like my Glock model 26, it’s accurate, smooth and easily stripped for cleaning.

The Glock 30 is an affordable .45 ACP carry gun. It offers a compromise between size and capacity coupled with the stopping power of the venerable .45 ACP.

Happy Bear

On Sundays, after going to the shooting range, we give Bear a “Frosty Paws” frozen dog treat – it’s like ice cream, but without stuff that might be bad for dogs. When she finishes her treat, she often strikes this relaxed, happy pose.

Back to Standard Time

Now that we’re back on Pacific Standard Time, the sun was setting just after five PM when this bird was heading off into the sunset. I used Verna’s Canon EOS with telephoto lens.

The Wait is Over

And I have my new Warthog! We shot her today for the first time. More on that later. Here is the picture I took of her today getting ready to clean her up.

Pink Mum

Halloween Kids

For us, Halloween is for the little kids. These are a few of the many colorful, cute and entertaining costumes we saw last night. We had a caveman, a little blue-eyed red bear(?), Spidey, Tigger and a sleepy teddy bear. Cute!
