That's exactly why I can't get rid of my M&P. Although I love the 229 and I could easily carry it, I think I'd carry it less because of the weight and size. The 229 will mainly be a range gun.

It was very controlled, but not to the point where the shooters felt constricted. I talked to a few of them and watched for a while and it was a very laid back and fun yet safe day. During the event it was a 'cold' range, and all shotguns/rifles had to have chamber flags in place. Pistols were all holstered with the mag out. There were 2-3 range officers per stage (9 stages total) who kept a close watch on everything, but it was obvious that they realized that the kind of people going to a 'zombie shoot' 3-gun style range day don't need constant babysitting. They were there to run things and officiate, but they weren't on everyone's case about everything every second they were on the property.
Not sure if you've ever seen 3-gun matches before, this event was more of a 'shoot' than a match. As far as I could tell there was no one keeping serious score and each stage was treated like an amusement park ride. You shoot the stage then exit the range and get back in line if you want to do it again or just move on to the next one. I've been thinking about getting into some more serious shooting lately and I think I've found the style that I'd like to do. The whole 3-gun format seems like a crapload of fun!
Here's the layout of the gun club...

It's about as far of a drive as Classic Pistol for me (1 hr +), but the other direction. It's $120 the first year (I think) and $60 each year after. I'm thinking about joining since it's the only range around that seems to be truly black gun friendly. A guy told me that last weekend they had a suppressor-only shoot at night w/nightvision, etc.... Way out of my league, but that's the kind of club I'd like to join!
