The Ghost

And what did you find?

So sad that Meerendal is going to pot.

I like to blast some WD40 on afterwards just to displace any water though and before lubing the chain.

Thanks, I think I’ll be adding one of these to my Amazon basket.

Glad you’re home and that your count has come down so drastically.

Autumn portrait time

I’m supposed to be going out shortly, but.....

It’s not a completely rubbish blaster but that rotating chamber design can be iffy, especially depending on the ammo used. Some law enforcement departments innZA use them and many of the guys wish they could get their Z88 back. Again, it’s not completely rubbish and it better than the Turkish options but it does have some issues. Also in the ZA context, support from the agent is rubbish and accessories (even decent holsters) can be extremely difficult to find.

Hope you heal up soon

Well good news that they found the problem and can treat it, onward and upward!

Beretta make some excellent products, it’s just a pity the agent in SA is more useless than brakes on a tortoise

You were one of the unfortunate ones for sure. In terms of breakages and returns the brand I saw come back the least was Glock, then S&W and CZ but they were at like 3 returns for every Glock return, which in any event wasn’t very often. All the big brands make a solid product these days.

Ah no, sorry to hear. Strength to you, and hopefully you feel better soon.

A few broken bones it seems, but not too serious. https://www.stickybottle.com/latest-news/broken-bones-for-alaphilippe-after-flanders-crash-with-motorbike-video/?fbclid=IwAR2zsCHvrzShS_9M2ZpAlZGGR38XbvlmjpYVn-WqKX5j2pm-p3L9A62Awcg

Terrible, I was so glad to see those 3 out front and it would have been so awesome to see the 3 star f them going at it all the way.

I understand, but give it a try a few times and you’ll see what I mean. [emoji1303] Even if you have no interest in winning there’s also the matter of having a little more enjoyment that’s important so that you actually carry on doing it. I also used to keep my carry gun for carry and range use about 4 times a year so as not to put too much wear and tear on my carry option but that’s more a consideration for higher round counts (maybe in your further future) and magazine preservation; although I tested all my mags I never used carry mags for sport. It’s okay, as you get into things the various nuances will become apparent but there’s no rush and they can be addressed one at a time in their own time. Warning: if you get into the sport it gets a bit like bikes, there’s always more go faster kit and goodies that looks good to have [emoji3] and don’t skimp on ear and eye protection, you only get one pair of ears and eyes.

Small self inflicted crash for WvA

All the best, I hope you never need to use it in anger and if you do that you do so effectively. You were asking about doing some sports shooting before, you will struggle with a 43, so I’d recommend that when the budget allows you get a 17 for sport use or a 19 for sport / carry combo. The good thing about getting another Glock for sport is that the guns are effectively the same in operation so changing mags, clearing malfunctions etc will all be the same, only the size and feel will vary.

This Ronde? [emoji16] Too soon / cruel?

I was out for a slower (if you can imagine that) spin today and for most of it I was just thinking to myself how amazing the countryside is here and how grateful I am to be able to enjoy it on a bike as I do. My life has completely changed and it’s such an amazing improvement.

Really?! [emoji1] If I cycled in zone 1 for an hour I’d probably get about 12km done [emoji2359] and for me to get to around a 28km/h average I’d have to be in.... well, I’d have to be in someone else’s body as I haven’t managed that yet. [emoji2359][emoji2359]

Not quite a TV show but I stumbled across Peak, an NTT pro cycling film today https://youtu.be/f173FH_wEx0

[emoji1319][emoji1319] those were the days

Bwa ha ha ha, you’re welcome [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
