I patterned my Sig 938. Yes patterned, I chose my words carefully. Not exactly my best day.
It counts.Probably not exactly what you are talking about but Dove Season opened here on the 1st. I was in the field with my Remington 1100 12 gauge.
I still have some of that old Cor-Bon ammo in the plain white and blue boxes in .40 S&W...I need to shoot that stuff up, too.The Lady and I made a trip to the outdoor range this afternoon. 91 blazing degrees, bright sun, light wind and 77% humidity made for a short uncomfortable range session. We did manage to test three handguns.
First one was new S&W M&P 9mm Shield I brought for my wife last month. We tested all 10 magazines I have for it with no problems. We were both shooting to the left with it but I will not rule out shooter error as the weather was really beating us both up. I want to make another range trip when the weather is cooler to verify the sights need adjustment before I break out the Allen wrench and hammer.
Second gun was her M&P 9mm 4.25" barrel that I put a Crimson Trace laser on it for a birthday present. We were surprised that the green dot showed up well on the targets at 7 yards. Not happy at all with how shaky we held the gun. I can not say I am favorably impressed with the laser. But, as I said, the heat and humidity was getting to both of us so it was more of a function test as we were both mostly shooting low.
Third gun was my edc Beretta 92FS. I had a G Conversion done a few months ago. It was a test of the function and reliability of the G Conversion that yielded no surprises.
The other purpose of the trip was to shoot up some old 25 year old Cor-Bon and old Winchester Silvertip ammo. I am working on shooting up my Clinton era stash. For the record all of it went bang the first time.
I am especially glad to get rid of the Cor-Bon. I had three different styles of hollow points plus I could tell some of was loaded hotter than the others. The date I had wrote on one of the boxes was 4/94.
So weather made for a short but important unpleasant trip to the range.
Welcome to the forum! Have fun!Hello to all, I'm new here. My buddy came over Saturday with his PSA-10 and I built this in .223 Wylde. We spent several hours sending lead downrange. I may not be the best marksman in the world, but the feeling of putting your own gun together and shooting ammo that you loaded is awesome!View attachment 858248

Same here. I was embarrassed by how I was shooting my glocks at the range the other day. Sometimes when others are around my first 3 or 4 mags are just shameful, something about the pressure of trying to shoot well screws up my mechanics.Had one of those days about a month ago. No matter what pistol I shot it was horrible. Have seen better groupings from buckshot at 10 yards than what I was doing with my handguns that day.
