Rain in the forecast for Thursday, so I cleaned the P-10F barrel after shooting it on Tuesday and returned to the range today, Wednesday.  Damp but not raining, pretty dim due to the thick cloud cover, but no wind today, which was a plus.  Not many other folks out, probably due to the poor weather conditions for some people, I like a calm damp day! 

Sure enough, gun hit left compared to Tuesday with the IMI ammo, and I made a few sight adjustments to get the Atlanta Arms ammo zeroed at 100 again, and shot two good targets, then went home before my eyes gave out.  Here is a 2 minute video of two 10 shot groups.

Believe me, it is very difficult to hold a good group through 10 shots, so I am very happy with this result.  I am thinking now that the larger B-6c bullseye is also better for consistency to use with both red dot sights (Holosun and Burris).  This pistol is mechanically as sound as it gets now, and the group results seem to be a determined now by my eyesight and mental focus much more than by the gun and ammo.  And it helps if the range isn't busy or windy. 

Today was fun.  But it wasn't easy.

Joe, it's tough for me to shoot a 5 shot consistent group most of the time.  Sometimes it's mental (me getting excited about the first three tearing the same hole (at 10 or 12 yds. offhand) and making a mess out of the rest of them trying to be perfect.  Sometimes it's just surprise when a group is going good and then one drops out low or off to one side and I had no indication when the gun fired that something wasn't right.

I seldom shoot more than a 5 round group.  The more holes you put in the paper the more likely one or more will not be with the rest.  Is that why they call it a group?  Because the more rounds in the group the bigger it gets?
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Thanks.  It's all I do, so I had to either get pretty good at it or get frustrated and quit.  And practice at 100 is just prep for 200.  Now two hundred is a real challenge!

I am all packed to go to the range but it's raining like crazy in Denver so ...will need to find something else to do.
