What did you shoot today?

[Lost River]

What load are you using for the .44 Specials? Inquiring minds need to know!

Those are my own loads that I produce.

It is a pretty popular load. In fact one of the guys either here or at 24 hour Campfire cleaned me out last week, as he had a competition he was going to and he was running them through his Model 97 Freedom Arms. I have since then done another batch. A few guys over on the Campfire use them for their deer hunting loads as well.

One of those "just right" kind of loads.




Pretty sure the flier was me. I have a gift for flinging one shot out of a good group.

I'm going to come clean- I completely forgot that you're selling ammo now! Thanks for letting me down easy.

Went out to the range this morning and shot some steel edition Casino Drills. Pistol and shotgun. 10 yards.

I’m really liking this Combat Armory G19 frame. Just about perfect if you ask me.


And I really love this 1301.


Previously I couldn’t get it to run 8 pellet FC. Cleaned it good and changed O rings and now she ran that load like a scalded dog. Patterned hood as well.

Out to 25 yard:

It's been several months since I've shot a pistol. Felt good to get back behind the 1911.

Continuing my work on precise transitions and single handed shooting, I worked on CM09-09 Lighting and Thunder scored in aggregate. Then finishing with a full run of this classifier with 86 points, -2C out of 18 rounds (99%). The 5sec pars for each string and unforgiving HHF make this a great exercise in relaxed, precise shooting with no wasted time.

Then just for fun, I shot a few mags with my practice p380. That little gun continues to exceed expectations. No issues after the work I did on it.

(Most of the pasters are from the match I scavenged the targets from)

[1911Nut]

Tried out a Sig/Wilson Combat WCP 320 (full size) pistol that I recently picked up. It has an "action tune" and a GrayGuns trigger.

My first experience with a 320 pistol. I really like the WC grip module as well as the machining work they did on the slide. I am a fan of the WC sights, as well, and they were POA=POI with the load of choice. It is an easy pistol to shoot. The trigger is as good as any aftermarket or OEM trigger I have ever tried on striker-fired pistols from other manufacturers. It measures a consistent 2.5 lbs. on my Wheeler digital trigger pull gauge with minimal creep, a solid wall with a crisp break, and and "OK" reset.

Only tried one kind of ammo, as I was pressed for time. All shooting was done from standing off-hand position at 15 to 22 yards on an indoor range. Accuracy was good, at least with the 124 gr. FMJ ammo I tried today. Zero malfunctions, including WHO and SHO shooting. Next time, I intend to try several brands of ammo, including JHP's.

Two observations:
1. I have been shooting steel CZ's and 1911's almost exclusively for the past 3-4 years. Today's trip to the range reminded me how much I like carrying plastic pistols, but shooting steel pistols.

2. I need to look for options for installing an optic on this pistol. WC does it, but their end product has BUIS that are far too tall for my tastes. I saw a video on WC's website featuring Larry Vickers shooting an identical pistol, and his pistol had a "deep" slide cut that allowed use of regular height sights with an optic. Will have to get further details on that to see if that slide cut is an option if your last name isn't Vickers, Hackathorn, or Seeeklander. Or, I may just leave it as is and play with it.

Other than the extensive discussions about SIG P320 pistols firing when they are dropped or spontaneously disassembling while being shot, does anyone else have any comments about the current batch of these pistols, including options for optics?

[Sero Sed Serio]

150 rds. with my carry G19.5 (Holosun 509 green, Apex trigger and connector, LTT Grip Anchor, Vickers/Tango Down slide stop lever and mag release. And of course SCD--old school pre-LTT TAU Gadget). I have an identical training gun that will be my high-volume shooter, and about 1,600 rounds between the two.

Did some SHO and WHO work using @Clusterfrack's "reverse gangster" technique, which I really like (thanks for that!). Distances were from 5 - 25 yds., with almost everything being from the compressed ready at speed. Was borderline shaky hungry and thought I was going to struggle, but ended up turning in what I thought was a pretty decent performance:



I don't know what the percentage breakdown is, but between the dot, the Apex trigger, and the Grip Anchor, this setup has done wonders for my ability to shoot the Glock to a level of precision appropriate for a carry gun. Whatever it is, it has definitely carried over to the non-optic G26 I've been wringing out as well.

Obligatory dirty gun pic:

When I left my yoga class this morning I stepped off the distance from my usual spot to the doorway. I generally carry my 43C in an Enigma there. I fired multiple 3 round strings at 15 yards from standing and kneeling. I realized I was aiming too low at first.



I shot the traded in Police Magnum that I bought yesterday. A couple magazines of birdshot ran fine, then it seemed like the next round would not fully exit the mag tube and get on the carrier. The headshot is Hornady TAP from six yards, the body shot from 15 yards. I’m first going to try another magazine spring and see what happens.



I shot the Handgun Combatives Three Round Fadeback with my CORE/ACRO.

[Clusterfrack]

I shot a local USPSA match that featured some fun and technically challenging stages from CO Nationals. Our local CO hotshot is at Nationals, and I was hoping to bring home a match win. Those hopes were dashed by a very time-consuming FTE/doublefeed malfunction on the highest round stage, but I still took close 2nd against strong competition.

I was struck by the great vibe our local USPSA matches have. Virtually everyone seems happy, welcoming, friendly, and helpful. No annoying egos or douchbaggery.

[Glenn E. Meyer]

USPSA with Glock 17 Gen 5 with SRO. We thought it would rain but instead it was bright and sunny. Warm for here. Nothing really unusual. One guy's AR in 9mm was cranky. Some high round stages had angles so that you had to move back and forth, leading to memory lapses - did I really shoot that one. A few failures to engage from folks (not me this time, a couple of months ago, we won't talk). Average performance, nothing to get excited or bitch about.

Quite a few local police shoot, same guys though.
