Buying my first Glock

[Txhighlander]

My old Ruger MKII with integral suppressor is a great trainer. Not having to wear hearing protection is nice in that the trainee can hear range command & instructions better. Limited report & muzzle flash also makes for a great training gun.

Color me jealous, that is sweet. I have a mk 2 competition model I love . A 22 suppressor is on the list to aquire.

My old pal Ralph gave me that pistol a suppressed Ruger 77/22 and a 30 caliber suppressor that was made in Palestine by John's Guns. The Anderson county sheriff was replaced by a Democrat & he kept callingATF on Ralph even when everything was legal. ATF finally to the sheriff to stop. Ralph up in his year new I could own NFA and said take them they are to much hassle & I Don't want Beth (his daughter) to have to deal with it once I'm gone. Not wanting anything for them I loaded Ralph up with ammo gifts worth the value of. Ralph just turned 89 years young. He is legally blind and hard of hearing and lives by himself.

Here is the .30 caliber can on an O3A3 that I had built as a SBR.

The same can on my .300 Whisper. Yup that's right a .300 Whisper predating the .300 Black out many few years. I don't have a picture of my lawn lion gun (the 77/22) its integrally suppressed too.

Very nice, thank you for sharing.

I should have mentioned that my .300 Whisper upper was built by JD Jones of SKS Industries. He invented the caliber along with other Whispers.

Except, that only can be done if nobody else is at the range shooting.

My wife joined the range a few years ago and I introduced her to one of our trainers. He trained her with the Glock 44 and she did very well. He was beaming after her first introductory lesson, which he never does, he told me and the owner "she's a natural". I was taking pics and video thru the glass and kept her targets. She had many more lessons. I went to Academy to get her one for Christmas but saw they don't have a manual safety, a must for me. Seeing how she had been training with no manual safety, I wasn't sure what to do. However I sprang for the Taurus TX 22 with manual safety and she loves it !! CCI ammo a must, hands down. I got her hollow points.

I do not wear hearing protection. My hearing is fine. Even when.50 BMG’s are in use.

But you're talking about the person which you are training not wearing hearing protection.

We didn't wear hearing protection in 'Nam either until we woke up. Figured out on our own when ears were stinging. Cigarette butts sufficed but was too late for most.

I’m mostly a bad example in many ways.

I was at an event at the YO Ranch where the then owner was checking everyone’s toys. Here is a guy who was a multi million and he was using 7.62 brass for hearing protection.
