Am I the only one who does this? Target organization and display. - The Firearms Forum

Remington597 · 03-19-2004, 08:10 PM

I work as a mortgage underwriter for a major financial institution, which basically means I decision(approve,decline, counteroffer) real estate loans all day. I have been described as anal retentive by family, friends, and co-workers, and I readily admit to this.
I save my 6 inch targets and chronologically organize them in digital photo albums in both hard copy and soft copy on disc. I organize them by weapons type and date, distance,and also by caliber.
Is this excessive or am I just obsessive compulsive?.
My friends at the range chuckle, but there are a few who do the same thing.

Photos to illustrate my point

This is an effective way to track one's progress with their favorite firearms at certain ranges ,etc.

Does anyone else do this?

keppler · 03-19-2004, 08:21 PM

I've tried this but never thought about doing it digitally. I could scan them and put them on a disk like you say. Good idea. I always ended up throwing the paper targets away cause they kept getting in the way or was just to much trouble to mess with.
Thanks for the tip.

gpostal · 03-19-2004, 08:29 PM

nope ,save a few good ones thats about it

Remington597 · 03-19-2004, 08:30 PM

You're very welcome. I only keep the 6 inchers because they fit nicely into the digital album ,plus there is nothing like hard evidence. I am glad I could help. Like I said, tracking one's progress and even for formal/informal competition, its very organized, which is what I like.

glocknut · 03-19-2004, 09:02 PM

Well.....you do have those Lorcin and that Jennings pistol in your collection........so.....could be ?

mike

Remington597 · 03-19-2004, 09:44 PM

I have never owned a Lorcin or a Jennings.
You see the following firearms in my signature line, in order.

1. Smith & Wesson A22
2. Rossi Taurus .357
3. Kel Tec P32
4. Kel Tec P3AT .380
5.Marlin SS and SSK model 60
6.Ruger 10/22 and Remington 597.

I have no idea where you got the notion that I own Lorcins or Jennings.

glocknut · 03-19-2004, 09:55 PM

LOL !!!!!

Oh, they're kel teks.......sorry..

mike

Remington597 · 03-19-2004, 10:00 PM

Kel Tecs are exemplary back up pistols, but they are 4 times the price of a Jennings or Lorcin, and no comparison. They have lifetime warranties and are exceedingly reliable. Most law enforcement officers carry Kel Tec backups.

glocknut · 03-19-2004, 10:19 PM

Waddya think folks......should I harrang him some more......or leave him alone?

Seriously Rem....

I did'nt know.......

Remington597 · 03-19-2004, 10:21 PM

I say go for it, or spare a fellow brother with an ulcer.

Remington597 · 03-19-2004, 10:24 PM

oops, wrong thread. I am loosing it. LOL

glocknut · 03-19-2004, 10:34 PM

Yep !

You're loosing it for sure...

Our local law enforcement have fallen in Love with the Kel-Tec
they are light weight and reliable. Since a large majority of them carry and like Glock's, they like the mini tactical Tupperware.
We cant keep emon the shelf.

Really? Wow!! I'll have to take a look at one.....

I knew for sure that Lorcins and Jennings were el crappo, and so i assumed that all the cheapies were.....
I've heard bad things about Highpoints, although i had a 9mm high point rifle that was fun and pretty reliable.....i figured it was a fluke?

I was of the assumption that the only "cheapie" that was worth buying was those .380 makarovs.....

huh....go figure..

My KelTech P32 slides right in my front pants pocket and is unnoticable. It goes every where I do and no one is the wiser.
And yep, I do have a CCW. Idaho is a shall issue state.

Everything you ever wanted to know about a Kel-Tec but was afraid to ask. http://www.kel-tec.com/
KEL-TEC P-3AT PISTOL

INTRODUCTION
The P-3AT is a semi-automatic, locked breech pistol, chambered for the .380 Auto cartridge. It has been developed from our highly successful P-32 pistol with negligible increase in weight and size. The slidestop has been eliminated and the magazine capacity reduced to 6 rounds due to the larger cartridge.

Technical Specifications
Caliber:
Weight unloaded:
Loaded magazine:
Length:
Height:
Width:
Sight radius:
Muzzle energy max:
Capacity:
Trigger pull:

.380 AUTO
7.2 oz
2.8 oz
5.2"
3.5"
.77"
3.8"
250ftlbs
6+1 rounds
5 lbs

The firing mechanism is double action only. The magazine has a 6 round capacity. The KEL-TEC P-3AT is the lightest .380 Auto pistol ever made. Thanks to its locking dynamics and superior ergonometry, perceived recoil and practical accuracy are comparable to much larger guns.

The P-3AT is mainly intended for plainclothes police officers as a secondary weapon, or for concealed carry by licensed citizens. The small grip size and light trigger pull make the P-3AT ideal for female shooters.

From the very beginning of the design and development, computers have been used exclusively. All machined components are also made on modern high speed computerized equipment. Equally advanced quality control equipment and test procedures ensure a firearm with uncompromising quality in materials and workmanship.

Remington597 · 03-20-2004, 06:33 PM

glocknut:
Kel Tecs are around $250 a piece. Jennings and Lorcins are around $75/each. So I don't consider them cheap. Ultimatly ,you get what you pay for, with Kel Tec, you get alot more.
