Range Report: S&W 627 PC, Sig 22 LR 1911-22, and 9mm Shield

[mesinge2]

All Shooting at 14 yards with all guns.


First up is my new 8 shot 357! Impressions: Even very hot 357 loads feel like 38s to me, maybe 38+p loads. The weapon is far more accurate than I am. Oh, and the 5 star loaders are just awesome with this gun. I went through about three hundred 357 magnum loads in record time. On and IMHO the moonclips for this gun are useless. Excellent trigger, easily the best production trigger I have ever had on a S&W without a trip to the custom shop. The Gold bead front sight is amazing, why did they ever stop making these??

Anyways, here she is at 14 yards with 158 gr Fiocchi Extrema XTP. Also watch the video - very little recoil

And after nearly 300 rounds:

Next up is the Sig 1911-22. I loaded all the mags randomly with CCI, Remington, and Federal (both lead and plated & hollow point and round nose). This dang thing is way too much fun. I lost count of the rounds fired and it never jammed once. Also watch the video - again no recoil.

And the 9mm Shield this range trip marks passing 1,200 jam-free rounds. This time with Hornady Critical Duty 135 grain loads at 14 yards. They were more accurate for me than the 115 grain Critical Defense rounds.

You can burn through some ammo with the 627. If you get into reloading do what I do and load it all on a single stage press. It slows you down enough to keep the bills down for supplies so you dont end up divorced

Those 627's are sweet shooters sold mine for a 627-3 Vcomp and like it even better if that is possible. Thanks for the tip on the 5 star loaders may try those.
