I didn't get pictures, too busy pulling the trigger to press the shutter release. I called my good friend and landscaping buddy to see if he'd like to get in some trigger time on this nice cool day. He brought his stuff over and we loaded up the truck and headed for our club range. He had his S&W 9mm M&P 2.0, a SA XD-M in 10mm, and a Kel-Tec .22 Magnum.
I brought my S&W M41, my Ruger SR1911 10mm, my Uberti 1873 5-1/2" Cattleman, my Taylor's 1875 7-1/2" Remington, both .45 Colt, and my Henry Big Boy rifle, also .45 Colt.
We took turns with each others' pistols, I really got to liking the Kel-Tec .22 Magnum (staggered magazine holds 30 rounds). We shot mostly at 15 yards but shot some at 25 yards with the Kel-Tec and my M41. We had paper targets set up but also shot the steel plates that were set up. After shooting all the handgun stuff we wanted, we took the Henry to the 50 yard area and shot steel animal silhouettes until my .45 Colt ammo ran out. All in all, we shot around 75 rounds of 10mm, maybe 50 each of .22LR and .22MRF, 50 of the 9mm, and 125 rounds of .45 Colt spread among the two revolvers and the rifle.
It was my first time shooting my new 1875 Remington, and I like it better than the 1873 Colt clone. It's a tad heavier and the longer barrel doesn't rise as much, and the grip design favors my hand better. The longer barrel is a little more accurate, too, my groups with the Remington were a little tighter than with the Colt.
Now I got to process all that brass and do some reloading. I shot the last of my .45 Colt ammo.

on your shooting day. I never take range pictures and even if I did I would not post them as I won't post anyone's picture on social media and I expect the gun's name to make it familiar to almost anyone reading the post. If not it is very simple to just look it up if interested.
