Thanks, I will hopefully be able to hit the range in a day or two and post up a couple of targets. With any luck the range won’t be packed and I can post targets for Class 1, 2, and 5.
Might be an interesting contrast demonstrating what a duty optic on a pistol does for practical accuracy potential. I just got back from vacation, and went to see my old pistol team coach. He’s 78 now, and anything less than bright light gives him fits picking up daylight around his front sight. On a partly cloudy day we decided to shoot a timed fire bullseye match on 50ft small bore pistol targets at 40 yards (because we hate ourselves), with our Benelli match pistols. I could watch in real time through bino’s as his sight picture fell apart as clouds dimmed his sight picture.
He told me what was happening and after we got done I asked him to shoot my ACRO P-1 equipped VP9 long slide, I gave him a basic run down of how to stay target focused and just plop the dot on his desired point of impact. He shot in the same deteriorating lighting conditions, and promptly demonstrated what an NRA High Master Bullseye shooter can do when he can get a good sight picture. Immediate performance improvement on target, and it wasn’t subtle.
