Mounted my new 407k on my G48 last night and went to the range today.
I’m a convert to the dot now, definitely nice with my 52 year old eyes.
Ran it with 124 Good Dot and 147 HST. Definitely preferred the Gold Dot.
The last round in the mag of gold dot I was using for sight in went pretty much dead center at 15 yards.
For some of you this may be normal, but I’m not THAT good. Lol.
I decided that was a good note to end on.
Got the new Garmin Chrono, so I'm shooting a bit of everything.
Today was a Sig P320 and P365 Macro with Winchester M1152.
Chrono works perfectly, and I was very happy til I remembered that I had to crawl around on the ground scrounging my brass.

More revolvers, more reloads!
I started with the problem child 617. This time I remembered to bring my MiniMags plus a 6" Ruger MKIV Standard and a 22/45 Lite for testing. First cylinder of Aguila, only 2 out of 10 fired. Loaded the 8 rounds that didn't fire into the 6" Standard and they all went bang. Second cylinder of Aguila, only 5 out of 10 fired. Loaded the unfired 5 into the 22/45 Lite and they all went bang. Third cylinder was Minimags and they all fired first time around. At this point all I can conclude is there is something about the Aguila the 617 does not like. I ended up shooting a total of 40 Minimags through the 617 and 39 fired the first time. Both Rugers seem to like the Aguila so that's good news since I bought 2000 rounds of it before I knew the 617 was going to be finicky.
During a string of fire with the 22/45, something dark flew through my vision as it was ejecting an empty. After finishing the magazine I saw the up arrow button was missing from the sight. I found it on the bench and put it in the case so I could keep track of it. Near the end of the session, once again I saw something dark flying through the air and this time it was the down arrow button. I'll drop a dab of clear epoxy on the buttons and reinstall eventually™.
Last week I loaded up 50 .38 Specials with 158gr Berrys flat points and 3.7gr W231. Today I ran them through the 3" 686, 3" and 4" Kimber K6s and one of the Rossi RP63s. The load feels very close to Fed GMM across those revolvers so that will probably become my go-to load with plated or coated cast. Next I'll start working up wadcutter loads.
