On occasions when Mrs Tirno does not have a Friday engagement, or in this case when her sister is in town and we have en-suite babysitting, I can get out to West Coast Armory for a little rifle league.
My first run with the lights on went very well, except that I forgot to set the camera to record. All good hits, no misses, no hits on the no-shoots.
My second run, with the lights out didn't go quite as well. One no-shoot winged and some misses.
Here's video:
Of interest:
Despite only my bare legs being visible in the video, I am not shooting this video in the altogether. I'm totally rocking the anti-tacticool, Dad-in-shorts-and-sandals look.
The long pause between setting my rifle on the barel and starting to shoot with the pistol was me trying to activate the Viridian laser/light module. Between my first run and the second run, the battery went dead.
The 'aw, man' you hear at the end is me realizing I winged a no-shoot with my M&P 45C.
Note to Viridian: I seem to be replacing the batteries on that thing every time I turn around. I'm still running on the batteries that came with the Streamlight on my rifle, after more than a year. In the first run, the light and laser were nice and bright, and then I turned it off and put it away. Second run about an hour later, totally dead. Based on performance to date, I completely expect it not to work unless I have just replaced the battery. That is not the reputation you want in a bit of gear that is supposed to have tactical value.
