an 11 year old girl protects herself and home with a $99.99 pink rifle, after 3 criminals break into her house. full story here. more about the rifle here.

this pink ak-47 is offered by i.o. inc.; they call it the “pink lady”, and it’s made in the u.s. i must have one.

the pink pistols met at ben avery outdoor shooting range today for the last outdoor meet for the season.

it’s funny how people seem to wave at cameras - even the range master joined in.

our fearless leader hard at work setting up our next meet.

some heavy artillery right next door.

and i believe he was shooting a sig.

i installed a new extractor in my m&p9c which worked flawlessly. i’ll post some pics of that process soon - it was an adventure. at least i can continue to shoot the cheapo winchester ammo i’ve stocked up on.

we met up with the pink pistols at ben avery shooting range yesterday. it was nice seeing them again, and it was the first time i’d been at the outdoor range. i brought my ruger 10/22 rifle, and the sig p6. notice above, the broken trigger bar spring, which occurred about 100 rounds into the shoot. i suppose it’s to be expected, as the gun is 30 years old. i’ll order a whole new spring kit - no telling at what point any of the other springs are about to go. apparently, this is not uncommon. also, the scope started to loosen up on the rifle, so we left early. now, on to order the new springs and some locktite.

i came across this pink pistol on the sti website. it’s available in 9mm for a mere $1369.74 msrp. i must have it.

cabela’s is running a sale on this rossi “his or hers” .357 snubbie. it comes with two sets of grips, black and pink. can you guess which color is for which sex?

i did stop by to purchase some inexpensive .22 ammo. a brick was running for $20.99 plus tax. remember the good old days, like back in august of 2008, when the same brick went for $12.99?

so i stopped by the crossroads of the west gun show today. it was nice to see some of the prices start to come down after jumping up since obama took office. that custom pink ruger 10/22 really caught my eye from r&s precision sports. i almost threw caution to the wind and bought it. perhaps next time.

i took down my pink walther p22 to the next level when i cleaned it after my trip to the range on tuesday. removing the assembly from the frame allowed for a more detailed cleaning. i can’t believe how much gunk accumulated after only about 1000 rounds.

additionally, i tried my new ammo, the federal game-shok fmj .22 stuff i got on national ammo day. it worked well, except for a couple of failures to cycle in the walther. it might be a less expensive alternative than the cci minimag stuff i’ve been using.

it makes sense that on halloween eve, the number of hits for “frankenstein” is first on my keyword analysis. the popularity of pink guns, and especially pink walther p22’s is encouraging. also encouraging is the search for “term shemale used positively”. though admittedly, i’m afraid to look at the results of such a search.

my local chapter of the pink pistols has a new website and a new name: valley of the sun pink pistols. check it out.
