First let me start off with I didn't even sand down the checkering on this one. All I did was clean and lube. Made it to the local range, and set up the T.U.B at 15 yards.
I went looking through my vast stash of all kinds of oddball 9mm ammo, to try them and and discovered....they were all gone...dagnabbit.
So, I broke out my usual blasting ammo, 124 gr cast lead powder coated. Yes, that IS pink - I ran out of my other colors, so we use Breast Cancer Awareness rounds. Donate to the research to save a life - not a joke.
First rounds down range, and this is what I scored.
Standing, two hand hold, no wind, bright sunlight. Hmm.
Try again. 15 rounds this time.
Not bad, well, not bad for me, fat old shaky guy that I am.
I brought a glove, in case the checking bit me...it didn't.
I fired 100 rounds here, getting pretty much the same results...until I ran out of Insta-Target, AKA spray paint. Then a buddy contacted me, said he was at the super-secret C.A.T.S. base on the range, and would I lie to drop by?
Twist my arm....
I did get the cell phone to record some lousy video...here goes...
https://youtu.be/QTXuLu2SkDQAll in all, it was fun indeed. The pistol worked perfectly, accurate reliable and nary a burp from 160 rounds of reloads and 45 rounds of NATO ball. I let the C.A.T.S. rangemaster fire a few - his only comment was, "How much?" Hah, not for sale.
This finish really looks nice in the light and there is NO glare.
No what shall I do for next time...wonder if I can find some lint?
