Last time I was at the range was 13 May of this year, so about 68 days. When I was last there, they had just started remodeling the pistol side of the range, so was giving them time to finish…they were not
. Completion TBD.
Anyway, I had been waiting a while to shoot both my CZ S2 Carry and FN Reflex MRD suppressed (I had already purchased a threaded barrel for each and ran 200 or so rounds through each to check fitment, function, etc.).
For the CZ S2 Carry, I fired 100 rounds of Freedom Munitions 147g HP (50 each round into same Vital Dude target), followed by 15 rounds of Federal 147g HST. Every round was fired suppressed. I did fire 2 non suppressed rounds of the Freedom Munitions 147g HP as they just would not feed into the FN, and this was after I was done and into the FN target that was still up.
For the FN Reflex MRD, I fired 50 rounds of Freedom Munitions 147g HP, followed by 15 rounds of Federal 147g HST. Again, every round fires suppressed. As mentioned above, 2 rounds would not feed, so I tried them in the CZ and they worked fine.
I did learn that a suppressor gets very, very, very, very hot - just ask my thumb (wasn’t quite covered by glove I was using loose in my hand to make sure suppressor stayed tight, which was good, because it loosened up pretty frequently with each gun).
In the end though, had a blast. Next time I think will be my three .45 1911s - they’re all overdue for some skill refreshing!
I used a Vital Dude target for each with the following drill:
5 rounds each right and left shoulder, slow fire, 3 yds
10 rounds center mass, fast as possible on target, 5 yds
10 rounds center mass, fast as possible on target, 10 yds
5 rounds center mass, slow fire, 15 yds
5 strings of 2 to center mass, 1 to head, fast as possible on target, 3 yds
I did one last string with the 15 rounds of HST for each gun. Forgot to take photos after though,
.
First round CZ
After second round CZ
First round FN Refles
After 15 rounds of HST - and top right round that missed was last shot of my day, which I never like
