RV Trip Today

[pop pop]

Taking another RV trip today. BersaGuy, going to carry my S W Bodyguard 380 (some think mouse gun) for EDC for the next 14 days. Got it loaded with Hornady Critical Defense 90 GR FTX ammo. I am amazed how good that pistol shoots being so small. Can hardly tell itis in the pocket.  Having bad lower back problems, as of late, and need to reduce weight I am carrying on my waist. 

When I get back I am going to shoot some water jugs with several different ammo brands. Going to see which has the best penetration. When I carried the Colt PocketLite 380 I used Remington Golden Saber with a 102 gr bullet.  It penetrated 3 water jugs and dented the 4th which is fair for such a small Caliber. That supposedly works out to about 10" of penetration with some expansion. I was firing it through 2 layers of denim and 2 layers of terrycloth. 

We been going there for years, with friends, and never had any trouble. Do know it can happen that is why the EDC. I am also taking my S W 9 C 2.0 along in the truck and will be in the RV when we park. It is stocked with Hornady Critical Duty 135 Gr. 

By the way got to teach 3 young boys how to shoot pistols and revolvers last Saturday. They were city boys 16 to 10 Y O. Started them with the 22 revolver, and they were scared of it. Finally, the oldest went for it and the rest was history. Their dad told me, at church yesterday, they couldn't quit talking about the experience all afternoon. Said they did not realize how much fun it could be. Always like to teach newbies. I shot into water jugs to show them what H P bullets did and we talked about that. They were amazed when the 38 Spl bullet hit the first jug and how it exploded. 

You guys have a good next 2 weeks.

Have a great trip and remember, the smallest thing you carry is better than the largest thing you lest at home.
