Yeah, that's pretty much how excited I am about Carry Optics. But it's a good training tool, and I'm shooting CO at a local match because the stages at this match suuuuck for low cap.

Calling John McLain...
Did is spell that right?
Dusted off the P7 for a few rounds to be sure it still works. Can’t remember the last time I shot it, but it is still a great shooter.

I got to shoot our Monthly Steel Challenge Match with my back-up Ruger 22/45 Lite. I normally shoot a Black Mamba but it's back at the factory for some modifications.
The 22/45 has a complete Volquartsen Accurizing Kit, VQ Bolt, Tandemkross Victory Trigger, C-More Railway Red Dot on an Allchin mount and a Carolina Crusher Compensator. I have 15 magazines that I rotate throughout the match.
Took my Springfield Loaded and Remington 11-87 for a function check before I start changing parts on them.

Yes Uberti copy, yes my gunsmith did it to resemble the famous Dallas Stoudenmire pocket pistol. Both pictured are Uberti, different versions of the 1860 conversion. They shoot as well as any of the repro 1873 SAA's with the BP cartridges.
A couple groups from today's outing-
First up was the Tikka Master Sporter in 223, 77SMK and Shooters World Precision powder loads. I got up to 23.5 grains and the groups started shrinking.

Next was the SR15 with 77 grain cannelured Noslers. I was pretty impressed by how well this bullet shoots. With the scope on 8.5X, it made things challenging so I started at 50 to get a feel for things.
