Ruger target, 50rds at 7yds. The low shots were the first ones. The rest were after I made my self slow down and focus

Model 57 target, 12 rds at 7yds. My first go 'round with the .41 Magnum and I can certainly see the attraction

This dirty girl. At lots and lots of steel. I shoot this gun better than anything I have ever shot, including a G19 gen 5 mos with an RMR. Unbelievable accuracy.
Valkyrie 45.

I took "The Impulse Buy" item to the range today... (to make a short story long) I didn't know why I bought this, until the other day.
I told Mrs. Collector that I had a Volkmann, NH & WC coming in the next two weeks. She asked me which one was for her..................... ummmmmm..... errrrrrr....... aaaaaaa.. I bought something really special for you!!!!!!! Hence the Glock impulse buy/trade...

Anyway.. I put all the SHE stuff on it for her. (Veridian green laser, the extended (bump) slide release & back plate to help her near 39 (70ish) year old fingers to rack slide.
So with a 5 min. laser adjust to sights on the hallway door knob. Off to the range we went.
When she started shooting she was hitting 3" to the side. I turned off the laser and used sights.... I was off to the side..... a closer look revealed what I think the problem was.. See rear sight pic.
A bit off center I would say.

BTW: She ain't buying the Glock = 3 quality guns deal............ I'll probably have to get her some fancy grips for one of her other shooters. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Put a new rear sight on the range officer, but as it turns out the gun likes a 6:00 hold at 20 yards. Don't mind the .38 wadcutter holes up top (was adjusting the sights for a GP100), the group you're looking for is the ten rounds next to the magazine.

Not bad for a gun I picked up used for 450 bucks.

Still can't get over how accurate this thing is. I mean, I was hitting 4 inch steel today at 25 yds like it was 10 ft in front of me. Only 200 rnds through it so far and decided to blast off a mag full of Federal hydroshock at the end of my range session just to see if it would jam on the feed ramp. Just to see if it was safe to carry it that way yet. No problem at all. Love the Valkyrie 45 CC0.
Althoug, I would like to change out the night sights for a set of Dawson Precision fiber optic. Does anyone know what size and configuration to get for this gun?

Good luck on your surgery. I broke my foot a month ago, so I feel for the being off your feet.
Thanks ....Its just the big toe....broke it last winter .../ it didn't heal right because I didn't go to doctor early .../ ...so she is going to go into joint & clean things up, straighten things out, fix the nail because now its ingrown.../ .....she said its no big deal...( but the price I have to pay for being stupid )..

Shot my retiree concealed carry qualifications with the Sheriff’s office. For semi automatic I used my P226 SAO. It is the top target. For revolvers I used my SP101. The course is fifty rounds and has timed stages from 3-15 yards, including multiple malfunction stages and failure drills. This is the Glock course of 25 years ago. My office still uses it.
