Last WE I survived the terrible storm that battered Central Europe and was spending sunday at the range in Czech Rep. Countless trees on the roads, couple down at the range, biblical scale rain and even hail ... Not the best conditions, but that did not deter the guys shooting next to me to bring nice toys :
Bulgarian made MG42 in SA.
HK 233
As usual, seeing my interests in their arsenal, and maybe appreciating my efforts to speak their language, those huys were mega friendly & very happy to let me have a go. Sadly they had ran out of 7,92x57... I return the favour with what I had, and they pretended to be happy shooting the omega trigger of my pistol
. What a great country 
I was far more modest and was drilling "Conceal Carry" de-holstering & reactive defence shooting mainly with my CZ P01 but also a Glock 26. I had tried one in the US previously but never had the chance to properly shoot one before. That little short thing was highly shootable and despite the stupidly short sight radius well capable of head shots at 20 meters . Like any glock it is not a forgiving pistol and even more than the giggest 17 brother one needs to get the fundamentals rights to make the most of the pistol. I had 2 mags to play with , one of them with an extension that make the gun much more stable in hand and therefore easier to use in short stress reaction time.
Now, that Glock is very short but still quite bulky, so , not that it will ever happen but if we were ever allowed to carry, I'd probably still pick my single stack Makarov.
By then the sky had turn virtually black and when the horredous weather conditions forced me to cover, I could not help a bit of "alte Schule" from the much welkomed roof's protection with this P1 (alloy frame BW version of the P38).
