Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetl

I was shooting the Kimber Pro Carry and the Model 17 at the range today. During a cold range call, one of the range officers rode over in a golf cart and beckoned to me. "You got a Glock?" asked Jack.

"No, I used to have one, but no more."

"Well next month, in Thibodaux, the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation is putting on a tournament," explained Jack. "You have to shoot a Glock though."

"You mean no 1911s can apply?"

"Nope."

"Well, I used to have a Glock 26, but the rear sight kept coming loose and sliding around. I eventually sold it, I just didn't care for the thing."

"If you can beg, borrow or...... Well.... Get a Glock, let me know. We'll get you signed up."

"What if I just paint my 1911 black and get some Bondo to put on the frame to make it ugly?"

Jack chuckled and drove on.

I returned to the firing line when the range went hot. I began to notice a gradual decline in my accuracy with the Kimber, and then, it all went Titantic on me. I had hits all over the target. Damn. Someone had said Beetlejuice Glock. The Tru-Glo rear sight on the Kimber loosened, and I did not have a Allen wrench in my range bag to retighten it. It was so loose I could easily move it from side to side with my fingers. No wonder my shooting had hit an iceberg and sank!

I put the Kimber in my range bag and continued to shoot a while with the 22 caliber revolver. When I get home, either I will shim that rear sight, or I will use red Loc-Tite on the screw.
