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

Got my chores done and shot the NM State Bullseye Match at Whittington Center on Friday and Saturday.
Shot the 22 EIC, the Distinguished Revolver, and the Service Pistol/45 EIC on Friday. Then shot the 2700 on Saturday.
These are the pistols I shot..
Springfield wadgun on left remained in the box as backup
Toyota/Ogata built service pistol
S&W 14-4 for Dist Rev
Hammerli Xesse for 22 EIC
Pardini Nygord for 22 portion of the 2700. UltraDot (90 rounds)
Then I decided to go "rotation nation" for the center fire and 45 matches of the 2700.
S&W 4" Performance Center 625-8 with UltraDot. (180 rounds in moon clips)

This was my first competition since I shot this match a year ago. I scored better than I have in the last 2-1/2 years. "Don't let the old man in!"
Timed fire is not bad but shooting a revolver single action in rapid fire gets very busy at the line.
5 shots in 10 seconds. It is also fun holding your shots in the black at 50 yards off hand with a 4 in revolver. This 625 is a 1-1/2" gun at 50 yds no problem and will do it with lead SWCs or jacketed bullets. I have another 625 that will NOT. ROTATION NATION:thumbs:

Put the first 250 rounds through my DVC Carry today. 10, 15 & 20 yards. Freedom Munitions ProMatch 135 & 124 grain XAP. In the first 25 rounds I had 2 failure to feeds, 1 stovepipe and it failed to lock open when empty on the first 2 mags. The next 225 rounds were flawless and after the first 2 mags they all locked open when empty as expected. :thumbs:

Absolutely hate these sights, I have been modifying them by shaving the top of the front sight down to bring POI up and thinning the sides of the front blade and widening the notch to give me a little more air gap on the target. I can't focus clearly when there is little to no gap in the sight pic. Will try again next weekend I filed some more off all sides this afternoon between work.
Wasn't my best effort here either must have been thinking more about what I had to get accomplished at work today. I never shoot well if I have something else pressing afterwards.
No excuse just thinking out loud.
A new Sig P320 Xcompact. 160 glorious rounds through her inaugural trip to the range. Even accurate at 25 yds when I did my part. Love it. New EDC sits comfortably all day in a Harry's Holster Executive 2 clip with the Discreet Carry Concepts metal clips. Maxpedition range bag is nice too.

Use of 9mm PCC as training tool..........
Our local dufus range is experiencing anti 2A pressure.
Mo-Rons are encroaching and building homes at the perimeters of the range that's been there for 50+ yrs.- then getting indignant that there's "gunfire and Hi=Powered rifles, even ASSAULT rifles"....
While this is inevitable, it truly sucks.
(While we still have the "ranch" property, it's 3 hrs. min. travel time- excluding course set up)
I have begun using the AR9 platform frequently, in lieu of a 5.56 gun, due to it's MUCH reduced sound signature, yet still having the ability to get in trigger time with an "AR".
Another positive aspect of the 9mm AR is the ability to shoot them on the handgun range.
(It has become increasingly difficult to use the rifle range for our "move and shoot" drills.)
Yesterday we had drills involving shooting and moving with the AR9's, then transitioning to handgun.
It was exciting as the R.O. ("Muzzle!, SAFETY!!")
There is a LOT of "shoot, make safe, move, shoot, make safe, transition to handgun" going on.
There were a number of the lads that had never done this that did pretty well at the end of the day.
Just something to consider if you haven't tried it.

My local spots to shoot also have this feature, subdivisions encroaching and dufus owners of little pink houses. Are you shooting up there? Me- you mean up in the national forest? Yep that's me. They don't like it one little bit. sustained yield / multiple use is the old moto in NF region1.
Oh yeah , shot the new Colt 1911C today. Second outing. Much better today with a tuned and adjusted extractor. Still a tight chamber but with the NM barrel, I was pretty impressed. Its a nice piece and I'm happy to own it.
