Hi all,
My job took me past the WMA yesterday. BTW, anyone in Louisiana who is near Sherburne WMA should check out the facilities there, they're pretty nice, and free. 11,000 plus acres, camping, hunting, fishing, two skeet ranges, one pistol range, one rifle range. As far as I know, to use the facilities, you only need to have either a fishing or hunting license.
So, I stopped and tried the new Kadet. My Kadet came with two mags and is dated "00". I used the Rem bulk ammo from Wal-Mart, about $9 for 550 rounds. It worked great. I shot about 300 rounds through it. I had only one misfire. The firing pin made a good impression, so I think the round was bad. I only had one FTEject. One out of 300 is fine with me. Accuracy was good with decent groups. I'm no expert marksman. I did most shooting at 30 feet, some a 60 feet. I had one target taped to a 2X2 about 3 feet high. After 30 something rounds the 2X2 broke behind the bullseye. My initial shots were consistent with the factory target, low and left. I shot both right- and left- hand, both one- and two-hand, no bench rest, some DA most SA. I'm right handed, but one of my best groups was from left-two-hand grip. Go figure. I can still shoot better with my Ruger Mark II 10" barrel. But, I've had the Ruger for a long time and have sent many rounds through it. AND, the Ruger won't shoot 9mm.
I'm very satisfied with the Kadet. Anyone thinking of getting one, do it.
