Today I took out six guns that I either carry or keep in a safe with loaded magazines to see how I did at 25 yards with the first four shots of carry ammo. Why four? The 9mm Gold Dots I wanted to shoot were divisible by four. No warm up, no do-overs. Some surprises and disappointments. I had a clean backer so could identify my misses. 3 were 4/4, 3 were 3/4.
Oh, an an alibi. Not a fan of indoor lighting or aging eyes. May be switching some guns to tfos.
PASS (with some irritation): Springfield Mil-Spec
(I felt shot 3 go south)
PASS: SW E-series Stainless
(Fourth shot at bottom of tear on top of sheet. Think I may be pushing left a bit because of long trigger. New gun: need to adjust to 6oclock hold.)
(Close but) FAIL: CZ 75B
( I forgot to hold 6 oclock. Fourth shot was half an inch above target on backer, one inch from center.)
PASS: Sig p365 (EDC)
(Benefitted from contrast night sights.)
(Fail, but honorably): Micro Eagle 380
(It looks liks the fourth is at the bottom. That is a trick of light. It was actually barely above the target.)
FAIL: (Wife's) Glock 43
(Fourth was 3 up from center and left of target an inch.)
I almost always shoot 25 yards after warmup. Instructive regarding shooting differences and patterns ... And that I need to spend more time with the Cz and learn the E-series.
