Target day

Went and tried to sight in this cheap red dot, i have one on a 9mm and it works perfect. the dot worked fine but the gun wouldn’t cycle with it on there. guess it’s too big. it don’t feel to weigh anymore than the metal top plate. but it wouldn’t cycle. Plus the Winchester ammo i had was the worse i ever seen. it had bent cases in the box and the crap was tarnished all up. this was brand new ammo i just got the other day. stuff was so inconsistently loaded you could actually hear and feel the difference.

Well i figured this weak ammo is the problem so i pulled out some Hornady and wow what a difference in noise level and recoil. this stuff had a lot more punch. so i squeezed off the next round and click. No cartridge in the chamber. I tried it a couple more times and same deal.

so then i get to figuring the sight is too heavy, so i took the sight off and put the top plate on and loaded a 15 round mag and it went through it all, loaded another one and same results. by then i was frustrated a bit and ready to leave. not the best groups in the world but i had a single shot for most of it and was really shooting to get it working other than accuracy.

I also had 5 rounds of that Winchester stuff that didn’t go off and the striker knocked the crap out of it. tried firing them each a couple times and nothing. also some of the Winchester tumbled, you can see where they went sideways into the target. they stuff was hitting all over too. nothing consistent. guess i got a bad batch.

Went shootin this morning, took the sig i sent to factory for the upgrade, i had heard horror stories of how bad the new trigger is. well it’s awesome. no creep, no gritty feeling and it’s sharp and crisp. i likes it. Also took the RIA Mapp out for a spin.

I put this cheap dot on this morning and sight it in i cheated a bit. i rested my arms on the table these two smiths are heavy for 22’s. nothing like thee lightweight plastic things of today. First one is at about 8 and second is about 15, first pic and the target on right is sighting it in. you can see the high and left shots. but once it was in it stayed there. again each target is 20 rounds,

Good shooting there Beltfed. I just stacked away a few thousand rounds of 9mm in my safe…looking forward to using my portable paper hole punchers very soon!!
As the big brown truck just drove away… I had my own version of Christmas in February… LOL
 
Not my best day of shooting this 40 cal was hitting to the left, guess i coulda moved the sight. was shooting some old stuff i had for a while. it was hollow points and musta been some kinda of hot loaded stuff. it was buckin hard. 50 rounds of it is all i wanted. lol
