Long morning at the department range already.
  • 75 rounds through the three small circles and only threw 2 (…bad trigger presses).
  • 50 rounds through the medium circle all in.

I’m ready to go home already. Is it 1500 hours yet?!?

At a distance of....6 feet?

I only say this to highlight what could be a very important detail in distinguishing between whether you are a budding Chris Kyle or a trained toddler.

12-15 yards, but no Chris Kyle by any means.

Yup I couldn't get that kind of grouping with that many rounds at that distance - good job!

You could. The smaller circles are used for precision shots, so I would shoot a round at a time; maybe 2-3 seconds apart. The medium circle was 2-3 shot bursts using a shot timer. I am trying to fix my tendency to shoot low and left (…as seen in my groupings). Even one of the range instructors tried to give me pointers, but it'll take some time. I've always shot low and left, and occasionally the way I grip the gun interferes with the slide lock (…dominant hand/thumb pressing against the slide lock); it doesn't lock after the final round. I end up having to tap and rack.

I wonder why we can’t discuss politics on this forum but can discuss something as divisive as firearms.

Because the admins tend to lean liberal wheras a good majority of the crowd here is right... the gun thing seems like the one off that is allowed more under the guise of a hobby etc.

Nice shooting out there. Upper left one 1 looks like the gun was cold at first attempts.

Yep, and so were my fingers. The range was hot by 7:30am and it was 38 degrees (…cold for California). We even had a fire pit. I could barely feel the trigger because my fingers were so numb.

Whether one should or shouldn't let the springs "relax" is about as controversial as which (automotive) oil to use, change interval or what is the best wax. Mine have sat for years and still function correctly.

I shoot my duty weapon the most proficiently, and that's probably due to significantly more trigger time, more manipulation time, etc. (….and also more time drawing it in and out of the holster multiple times daily). I am not as good from the same distances with most of my other handguns.

38? NOT FIT FOR MAN NOR BEAST.

Gets chilly in Phoenix too. That's why I'm in Thailand now. That and thai food. Yum

For the Sig fans here. Rare mint nickel made in Germany “compact” compared to 365 SAS. Difference is huge.

Oh I know you just didn't mistake SCAR 17 .308 mags for Glock mags.

I leave all my magazines loaded, never had an issue. I find them much easier to load after being spent if you leave them loaded at all times!

In happier news, FDE Friday is here once again! Glad to see other members here with the same fine firearms!

Nice shooting btw Sedan_Clan!

Always wanted an MPX, it’s a shame they discontinued the original and now you can only buy the small “k”.
