Using a diagnostic target I found on the web, I did two tests today with my P30. Both tests consisted of 10 rounds from the ready position. I would push out, fire one shot then go back to ready. Nothing was timed and the shots were at a slow pace. Distance to target, 7 yards. Ammunition used was CCI Blazer Brass 115 grain FMJ.
This first target was without corrective lenses (I currently wear progressive lens bifocal glasses):
This second target was shot wearing my glasses:
It is hard to see, but I dropped one shot right below the street address on the target. I did call this as I fired it and it was entirely my fault. I also realized that I was rushing a little more on this target than I did with the first.
Other than the obvious problems indicated by the targets, I noticed that the gun seems to be shooting a little low. I ended up holding the so the top of the dot on the front sight was aligned with the top of the rear sight. This puts the top edge of the front sight slightly above the rear, not even with it.
Although the front sight was somewhat blurred without my glasses, I do think I can see well enough to use my gun in a defensive situation without them if the need arises.
I recently visited my eye doctor and am awaiting my contact lenses to come in.
Tomorrow, I am planning on doing a short comparison between the P30 and my Browning Hi-Power.
