Ok last one. I had installed adjustable sights on this Beretta. Mostly to make them high enough to to see them over the top of a silencer. But they give a nice sight picture too. I was really happy with the results.

I’m fortunate in that I belong to a small private range. It’s nothing fancy, but it works. No employees to check in with. Members get a key for the gate, and just clean up after ourselves when we’re done.

I guessed wrong on the POA. I think the light reflects off the front sight paint differently at the 25 yard line. I was favoring to the left when I was at 10-15 yds but at 25 I threw them all low and right. I might wipe the shiny orange paint off the front sight. Can’t tell if it’s better or worse than nothing. LOL.

Great shooting!
Yeah - they call them "belly guns" for a reason. If it's not jammed into your attacker's belly, odds of getting a hit in aren't that great.

Need to slow down, I'm use to practicing rapid 2 - 4 shot groups. Shot these groups in 15 and 17 seconds thinking I was shooting slow.

You guys are awesome. at 25 yards it is so easy to drop a shot off the paper, and you guys are bummed when you leave the black. Good shooting!

6 o’clock hold wasn’t enough, and my weird tendency to shoot to the right at 25 continues. Plus I can’t figure out why I can shoot the G30 and G41 acceptably well but for the life of me I can’t seem to hit anything with the 9/40 Glocks lately. See my G23C attempt in the following post)

155 RMR FPRN/8.3 Loudshot, 1.125” mixed brass
Class 1: 92-2X then didn’t bother with the other classes
Dry fired right afterward and my front sight was steady as a rock. I don’t get it. Every shot felt the same and looked good.

So I've been playing with a couple single action revolvers lately, and was at the range running a couple loads over the chronograph today. I realize this is a "self defense gun" challenge, but the little Single-Six makes a pretty good woods gun, and the .32 H&R Magnum is still considered an adequate self defense caliber. If anything, it could provide defense against rabid squirrels and the like when out hiking.
More than anything, I still had a couple targets in my range bag and wanted to see if I could get the reload done in time and still get all 10 shots off. So I set the par time on the timer at 60 seconds and started with the hammer cocked and gun up on target. I fired six, shucked out the empties, loaded four more and fired them off. I didn't look at the timer as I went, and just plowed forward waiting for the beep. I was really rushing at the end, and the last two shots were the ones that went low. When I finished, I decided I should have slowed down a bit. I had managed to get all 10 shots off including the reload in a hair under 35 seconds.
So I took my one remaining target and moved back to 15 yards and tried again. This time I went a little slower and got it done in 52 seconds. I reviewed my split times on this one and found my reload had taken 16 seconds. Not bad. I'll take it. If I'd had another target I would have tried it at 25 yards as well. Maybe next time.
So since it's not a typical self defense gun, we can call this just a fun run. But I thought I'd post the results anyway.

I hear ya. I've only ever been so-so with most things Glock. The squishy trigger doesn't help, but that's not all of it. The cheap aftermarket .357 Sig barrel that I posted with earleir seems to be the exception. But for the most part, Glocks for me are adequate, but not exceptional.

I agree with this. First Glock was a G21 and I like ie a lot. I like the original sights and even got used to the trigger after 100 round s or so. I did my yearly LEOSA qualification with it and it performed very well. I have a G17 as well that takes a backseat to my CZ 75b as far as handling, trigger, and malfunction drills. Glocks are very reliable and I would use one for self defense and be confident. Having my druthers I would choose the CZ line.

Thing is when I shoot carefully from a rest they shoot as well as anything else I have. There’s just something about the ergos or the trigger or the recoil or the sights I’m using that throws me off.
and like I said the G30 shoots pretty well and it’s about the same size as the 19/23. I don’t get it.
maybe my reloads just suck....
