Slight breeze and at 25 yards the little gun shot very well. Drank plenty of water and the temps didn't bother me until I got in my car and on startup it showed outside temp as 101 degrees! Then the temp bothered me, guess I'll tape the readout over next time!

Meh - I don't care how hot it was, I wanna see the pistol...
That, and what do you do in that kind of heat to keep on top of the fouling? Wipe every shot?
Speaking of heat, just back from Clarkston, WA, over in the southeast corner of the state. Lewiston, ID is just across the Snake River. 112 degrees there yesterday afternoon.
The hottest I have ever experienced in my life and the coldest I have ever experienced in my life were in the same place - Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It's on the northern edge of the Gobi Desert. Made a couple of trips there to fix airplanes... Bouncing off of 120 degrees one summer and -30 one winter. For the love of God, I don't know why people live there.
