Me 'N' My Range Bag

I guess I might as well continue to bare all. I’ve made another addition to my range bag – a Mini MagLite.

Say, what?

Well, let me give you a little background. If you look at my 8/9/10 posting to the thread, “Ruger 22 /45 pistol”, I related a problem with the rear sight.
See at: http://www.msgunowners.com/rimfire-f27/ruger-22-45-pistol-t4464-20.htm

The plan was, once I got the rear sight in place and anchored down, I’d take some solitary quiet time at the range to rerun the 22/45 and reset the rear sight. Finally got the opportunity a week or so ago to put the final touches to it.

Was a bright and sunny morning. I was sitting at the bench in the shade of the cover. I found that the contrast between shade and bright sun made fine adjustment to the windage and elevation screws a bit difficult (it might have helped a little bit if I’d taken my sunglasses off, but who can think of everything!). At the time I thought a small high-intensity light would have helped.

Then this past Tuesday while at the range I wanted to take a look into the action of a pistol for some reason I can’t recall. Again, the shade/sunlight contrast (and sunglasses?) made it difficult to impossible to see down into the action. And, to make things worse, as I was twisting and turning that handgun around, trying to get a little sunlight in, I happened to notice out of the corner of my eye, that I was getting some pretty strange looks and folks were beginning to disperse (okay, okay, that’s an exaggeration, of course). Again, having a small high-intensity light would have helped.

So, I came home, scratched up a Mini MagLite and have dropped it into my range bag.

You can add that to the list I posted above.

By the way, I had asked above, “What’s In Your Range Bag”. I had hoped we might get a little more play. Never happened. Oh well.
