Ok, I got a chance to finally shoot this guy and have to say that I am mighty impressed! I wasn't able to get a bench to put it on paper so I had to limit myself to shooting the steel plates. I could pretty much hit everything I aimed at unless I started trying for the 75 yard gong then it was pretty tough.
The gun was initially tight but seemed to loosen up a tiny bit over the first 150 rounds. I shot a variety of Freedom and Winchester ammo and then tried some Perfecta which did not feed well and had consistent FTF problems. I chalked it up to cheap ammo and the gun breaking in though the FM and Win never gave me any issues. I do plan on going back out in a couple of weeks to put it on paper and see what kind of groups I can get out of it.
SLOSA: A great range, but too bad its slammed on Saturdays. At least the steel plates were open. I felt sorry for the Zombies because it was raining lead on them! If the Zombacalypse ever happens a Cajunized CZ is going to be your best friend...head shots from 15 yards all day long!
My Arsenal...I shot the SP-01 the best, but then again, that gun is a dream to shoot.... the 97b was next easiest to shoot even though I'm still getting used to it. The weight soaks up recoil and the sights are really easy to pick up and shoot distant targets. I definitely like the sights. The Copperhead is fun too but not as quick with the follow up shots without the added weight that the other 2 have. The TacSol Buckmark is a laser gun.
Twins! I met my buddy at the range who has this gun's near twin. It is Cerakoted in Tungsten, has different grips and a HiViz front sight but is otherwise identical so it was pretty cool to have another 97BE to compare mine with. His shot just as nicely though I think mine is just a hair smoother! :p
I have the Black Shadow more or less dialed in and it seems like that CGW Bushing really does make it a tight shooter. It felt like I was hitting the plates without any real effort and I am not that good of a shot!
I'll put this one on paper next time as well to see what it can do, but I suspect I'll be impressed.
Overall had a great time even though I couldn't really do an accuracy test. I think the 97b sights are pretty well dialed and just need a bit of tweeking to be perfect, still the gun is probably more accurate than I'll ever be.
Have a good weekend everyone!
