Friends,
Yesterday, after lunch with the guys, I had a chance to stop by the range for a few minutes. Since I didn't have a lot of time I wanted to work on my "balance of speed and accuracy" and shoot the magazine in my EDC just to make sure everything is working as it should. This first picture is from the third floor of my doctor's office. We've had a couple of really nice days since it stopped raining. My favorite fast food place, Culver's, is under the blue roof.
Of course I procured my favorite lane at the older facility. It was on the way home from lunch that day.
I decided to bring my two optic pistols (Mod.3, Echelon 4.5F Comp), current EDC (VP9), and my fun unit, the 686 Plus. Who am I kidding? They were all loaded up in the case and I didn't feel like swapping out anything.
For the first target, the center got the mag dump of my defensive ammo from the VP9. I was shooting pretty fast today, one second or less between shot for the whole session. I took a little more time once I got to the 686.
The top two circles got 10 rounds and the bottom two got 15 rounds. With less than a second between rounds, I guess my spread wasn't too terrible. I just need more practice!
The next target enjoyed the Mod.3 with the Holosun. I did not slow down much for this target. The center got 40 rounds and the head got 10 rounds with lots of mag reloads in between 10-shot strings.
I patched up this target, sent it back out to 10 yards, and got the Echelon ready for more of the same.
The target came back like this.
I was beginning to think that I needed to adjust the dot up a click or so. When I slowed down a little for the head shots I realized that it was probably just me. I let a few go wide but, when I pay attention, the projectiles will punch holes where I want them to.
Then I sent my favorite target out to 10 yards and shot two cylinders (14 rounds) at it in single action. Cocking the hammer on this beauty just feels so good.
I patched up the target and tried a couple more cylinders with double action. The trigger is not that bad. I just need to get used to it, and keep the sight picture lined up.
There was a little more spread but I got half the hits in the bullseye. I'll take it. I patched up this target again, put seven hits double action in the center then seven hits single action on the head. Hmmm, they're starting to look about the same, except for that one that really got away.
At this point I've got 8 cartridges left in the box. I put four in the center and four at the head. I don't remember if I shot these SA or DA. Either way, I love practicing with this revolver.
That's all I had time for today. I think that's the quickest I've ever run though 200 rounds. Let's wave goodbye to the old range. Hope to see you next week.
Thanks for stopping by. I pray you are all blessed, healthy, and happy. Take care.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
