Know your gear

Whoops. This morning, I went to attach the new Crimson Trace Green Rail Master laser to my Sig M11. Knowledgeable readers will immediately realize the problem with this plan, namely that the M11A1 doesn’t have a rail.

To be fair, I have no one to blame but myself for that. I took the M11 this week instead of the 226R because I didn’t have enough mags for the P226, and quite honestly I’m not that familiar with the M11. Sure, I like it and shoot it well, but I’ve never spent an entire season with it like I have a 1911 or a revolver.

The moral of the story is that it’s probably a good idea to be familiar with your gear before you take it to a match. Learn from my mistakes, lads!
