Two of my buddies and I met at an indoor range every Thursday night. We usually had one of the two ranges to ourselves.
This night a guy and his girl were on our side. The guy was doing his best to impress the girlfriend with his prowess with his little 380. Of course, the guy was in the middle position of the range so we had no choice but to take positions on either side.
All three of us stepped to the firing position and almost simultaneously fired our Ruger Super Redhawk 44 Magnums. In the enclosed range, this had the sound effects and concussion effects of a broadside from the battleship New Jersey.
When we finished our firings and stepped back, the girlfriend looked at her boyfriends 380 and the at my buddies Super Redhawk with the 9 1/2 inch barrel. My buddy looked at her and said: “Yes, mine is bigger than his.” The boyfriend couldn’t get her out of there fast enough.
I am not sure what to think of that as I carry a P238.
The ported guns are rough in the enclosed firing position ranges. Many around here don’t allow them during general shoots.
I once knocked some 2X4’s down that were in storage up in the rafters above the line while firing one of my ported Contender wildcats. Scared the hell out of everybody. LOL
Luckily nobody got hit.

Priceless! A story to tell the grandkids (when they’re old enough, of course).
I went to the range recently where they only let you shoot buckshot from the shotgun. I had mistakenly bought 3in magnum 00 buck. Holy crap!!! THAT sounded like a tank gun!!! Gotta find some low brass buckshot. The single action, however was real fun.
Carry pistol is a Remington 1911R1. I love the .45.
Many years ago at a hospital I won’t name, there were a number of violent incidents in the ER with one finally ending up with 2 staff member shot and killed.
Another student and I were rotating through that ER and he mentioned to me that he was really disturbed by what happened. So disturbed, in fact, that he had decided to carry a gun. He asked me if I wanted to see it, I said sure. He then dug deep into his pocket and pulled out a .25 auto. I reached around and pulled the Combat Commander out of my 12 o’clock IWB holster. His eyes got wide and he said he was hanging out with me until we rotated to our next assignment.
