New Chronograph from Garmin

[psalms144.1]

A fellow on the range with me this morning had one of these while he was load testing rounds for his 6.5CM. Very neat piece of technology, if it wasn't $600, I might not be able to resist owning one just because.

Interestingly, after he was done, he let me play around with it. Only things I had with me were a 9mm PCC, my 4.25" Prodigy, and my P365XL, so I shot five rounds through each using my slowly diminishing stockpile of A260 147gr JHP. What surprised me is the average velocity loss from the 16" PCC to the Prodigy was only 7 FPS, clearly there's a lot of wasted space in a 16" 9mm barrel...

Anybody had trouble with the latest update?

I updated over the weekend. My Garmin says it's connected to my phone but my phone never says it's connected to my Garmin and it hasn't downloaded any data from the actual chronograph lately.

Every time I hump my pelican case with lab radar and paraphernalia to around and back from the range, I really want one of these Garmin chronographs. Unfortunately, while bulky, my LabRadar works extremely well And I have other more important things to put money towards.

At some point if there’s an issue issue with my LabRadar It will be time for a switch.

Radar? I'm still using an Oehler 35P.

I'm using a hand me down Chrony with two bullet strikes that deformed the case so it wont close, chop sticks and white cardboard or skyscreens, and a notepad. I'd really like a new Garmin.

FYI Winchester M1152 shoots a lot lower than 147gr HST/RA9T

Our range had one of those. I shot a chop stick/wire once, which is why I got the big "window" 35P for myself.

I finally couldn't resist and got one on sale. It says you need 20+ yards to get a measurement but it measured airsoft BB's in my garage with like 12' of runout.

It works so boringly and easily so far that it seems like Alien magic compared to my old Chrony, my buddies big doppler thing, another buddies magneto speed, and my latest Caldwell.

The auto calculations for KE and Power Factor are probably awesome for those that need it as well.

$500-600 almost seems cheap for what you are getting over all other available technology.

Now if they could only make this big a leap for pistol red dots :-D
