Here's my daily, but am looking for something a bit smaller to carry. Perhaps a .380.

I'm a left has well. It does seem to make sense that u will get faster follow up shots but if ur not bench shooting then it would be slower with follow up shots.
It would be cool if they can make a ambi bolt gun. Be able to switch the bolt on either side.

I bought a Shooting Chrony Alpha (not an vendor endorsement, just the first page I found) recently. Have only used it with air guns, so far, but it seems to be a good unit for the price. It can be picky about the lighting when used indoors* but very reliable outdoors. The Alpha model has limited (32 shots), non-permanent storage of data plus gives high, low, mean, and standard deviation. Some of the other models have remotes, and expanded, permanent memory. Very easy to setup and use. The diffusers seem a little flimsy where they "splice" together but not that bad and I don't need them with my current setup. So far, I'm very pleased with the unit.

*I tried some incandescent, gooseneck lamps and that worked well but was cumbersome to setup/takedown. Now using a 500W quartz tungsten lamp on a stand. Lamp is pointed at the ceiling. Will be trying lower wattage bulbs.

Last time I used a chrono, it got shot. I'll never use a chrono without a remote again. This is the one I'm looking at now. Top of the line. :D

LOL I barely nicked mine with a BB. Knocked a tiny sliver of plastic from the rear sensor but no real damage.

Wow! Nice setup. I don't reload, so it's little more than a toy for me. I sure don't need one that costs 6x as much. :)

New toy arrived a while back.

Had a great time training with Frank Proctor, helped my pistol handling out quite a bit!

The last one I shot up was with a 300 Kong loaded with a 220gr HPBT at 3400ft/sec. :D

Sup roof!

In stock ammo, guns, magazines, and reloading supplies <--- it will compare prices of ammo from a ton of different sites

Try not to get reloads (at least I don't run them. Especially in my Kimber). I usually go for winchester white box or federal.

For practice, I use FMJs. Cheap and readily available. I buy most of my practice ammo from FireQuest, but that's mainly because they are located where I live and I don't have to pay shipping. Some of the gun/pawn shops around here carry 250-1000 round cases and will order bigger quantities.
