The new Colt 633 Department of Energy clone from PSA/H&R was really quite a lot of fun to shoot, so I decided to take it to a PCSL match. This was basically a USPSA pistol match with two sets of targets, one for pistol and one for rifle (in theory PCSL goes out to much longer range, but that match at my local club was all within about 25 yards). I brought a Beretta 92 to match the vibe of the 633 clone, but decided once I saw the stages that I really just wanted to shoot the carbine. So I opted to completely disregard the rules and shoot everything with the 633, with my pistol as a backup only in case the carbine malfunctioned.

As it turned out, the H&R 633 ran perfectly through the match (although I fumbled one reload). And it was a whole lot more fun to blast everything with it than to play two rounds of hide-the-target-behind-barrels on each stage by using the pistol too. My score suffered, of course (ie, tied for last place) but I think I had more fun than anyone else there.
