    Quick Range Report

    I recently purchased a Para Ordnance Stealth (aka Nighthawg) Warthog in .45ACP. My law enforcement agency has a policy that if I want to carry something off-duty (and enjoy their protection against liability...) you have to qualifiy with it. We fire a 30 round course, max score of 150. I like...
