The pistol range I currently belong to is an unattended range. Enter with card key, shoot, pick up brass, leave. It has been considerably more crowded in the past year. I don’t love being sandwiched between guys burning through hundreds of rounds with their plastic combat 9 pistols and carbined festooned with lasers. The constant concussive blasts are irritating and watching them use every bit of the 2’ x 3’ target is worrisome. There is the occasional old guy shooting tight groups with something old school, but the average level of marksmanship is such that I don’t think it really matters what caliber these guys arm themselves with.
