Range time with 9mms

[doddg]

Not sure if you've ever tried an N8 Tactical holster, but I've got several for different sized carry guns and they work great. I especially appreciate the soft suede backing...I always forget I'm wearing it...it's that comfortable and tuckable. I like the Professional G2 series since it helps cover the ENTIRE grip of the pistol...so many others don't cover the grip and I hate that digging into my side. Here's a link to The Professional G2 IWB (Inside The Waistband) Holster

Nice shooting BTW...jealous that I'm still working while you're out shooting. Glad you're having fun and mastering such a nice variety of guns...to paraphrase Clint Smith: "...be a student of weapons craft."

I have many of the N8 tactical.
Someone put me onto them over a year ago I think.
I thought they were the best thing ever.
Since then I got holster that came with a SW360 revolver J frame
I bought
that was even better but they don't make that style anymore: bummer!
It also fits my Ruger LCR 38 special and my Kimber 6S.

I also buy the Crossbreed brand.
I'm wearing one today that's holding my KAHR CM9.

Getting ready to go inside the range to shoot my Ruger LCR 38
that I forgot to bring Monday
and going to put more rounds through my Kimber 6S.
But then I'm going the cheap route and shooting 2 air pistols, ha ha!
The six air guns I have have really saved my ammo supply!
I thought about buying a 5000 round case of Armscor last night but since I have so much 22 LR still on hand I didn't bother.
Price was $400 I think,
Which is the least expensive I've seen in a decent brand.

I have a friend that's a contractor that calls me driving to work in the mornings and he's so jealous when I'll pick up the phone and I'm still in bed just listening to the radio, ha ha!
As someone who always worked two jobs their entire life, I do truly enjoy myself & am grateful

My rare 9mm range trip today:
- Taurus GX4 (on my CC thread)
- CZ Rami
- CZ Shadow 2

Don't need the CZ Rami, but haven't sold it yet, value had gone up I noticed.
Don't do much range time with 9mm so the Shadow 2 should be passed on to someone else, but I love it so, it is the most awesome gun I've ever had & I got too much money in it, haha!

Shot on 3.75" circles today.
CZ Rami all liquored up with upgrades.


CZ Shadow 2 with upgrades & converted to SAO.
21' & 30' & even tried 45' which I never do without an optic.
I can't see the center of the circle that well at 45', haha!


Recently picked this up for fun, but probably won't keep it long.

 

[doddg]

Trying out a friend's Palmetto Dagger Compact today.
A Glock clone.

21' on 3.75" circles, 5 rounds each circle.

 

[doddg]

Ignore the top circles with revolvers.
Middle & bottom circles with the GX4, Shield Plus & Rami semi-autos.
21' on 5.75" circles on a rest with reloads.
5 rds each except for the middle circle & there were 10 rds with Taurus 856.


Again, ignore top row with revolvers.
Added the CZ Shadow 2 to the above semi-autos.
All free-hand shooting at 21'.
On the bottom row, both CZs POI a little to the right.


Only the Beretta PX4 Storm since I've owned it less time than the others.
21' with some free-hand, others on a rest.
POI low, so had to compensate.

Pulled my Gen 3 G-19 recently out of the safe and I am happy with it.
I carry .40 but will take this one to the upcoming GSSF match at the end of the month.

Nice shooting. If you have skills, the Glocks can deliver the mail !

Wow! Was that 20' or 30'?

 

[Dean C.]

10 rounds 10 yards , Staccato P with a Leupold Delta Point Pro shooting 147gr Federal ammo. Target shot standing unsupported. Legitimately one of the best groups I have shot in a long time. The amount of time I have been working on 15+ yard pistol shooting is really paying off IMHO

I shoot about once every week or every other week 150-200 rounds total.

 

[STEEL CORE]

Just 30 as I had my S&W Shield 1.0, (great) , and Glock-43 (not so great) with me too.

Bought a bucket list gun this week:
a Beretta 92 FS INOX, with 15 rd mags.
In the past I'd had 2-3 Beretta 92 police trade-ins.
I remember the 1st Beretta 92 rental I shot at a range, where I learned I loved a wide grip.
Always wanted an INOX, but never willing to pay the extra to get one.
For years I had a Beretta Tomcat .32 acp INOX that I put walnut grips on that I loved
&
I presently have a Beretta Bobcat .22LR INOX with rubber grips that I enjoy.
I'm going to try to behave myself & refrain from putting walnut grips on this 92 FS, haha!
If it turns into a long-term keeper, perhaps!

21' on 3.75" circles using Magtech 115 grain ammo.
Had to raise POA since POI was a little low.


Ignore middle & last rows (they were with a .38 sp DAO revolver).
Top row had both Berettas at 30' on 5.75" circles:
- Beretta 92 FS (top left)
- Beretta PX4 (top right)

 

[DadSmith]

My son and I did a little shooting today.
We shot a new load I've been working on.
It's a 124gr Hoosier Bullets RN.
5.2gr AutoComp
CCI 550 primer (out of 500's)
Mixed brass.
From my CZ P10F


From his Ruger American 9mm


He wanted to run some drills so I didn't get to test accuracy.
I'll test accuracy, and post pictures at a later date.

Ran 15 rounds through both the Beretta 92 FS & CZ Rami.
The INOX Beretta is a "new" gun for me while the Rami is just too fun to be left in the safe today.

Top row is the Beretta FS.
1st circle POI was good.
2nd circle went crazy with the POI being 3" too low on round 1 & 2.
3rd circle did the same even though I was trying to aim high.
Only shot at 21' so maybe at 30' the POI would not have been so low.

2nd row was the CZ Rami.
POI was good.
I was trying to raise the POI a bit & got carried away on the 2nd circle.

21' & 30' on 3.75" circles
Fiocchi 115 grain (no reloads this time!).

 

[doddg]

Great day at the range with larger calibers than .22LR.

Ignore the SW 64-5 DAO .38 sp. revolver in some of the targets with multiple 9mm guns.
Beretta 92 FS Inox
CZ Rami
CZ Shadow 2

I couldn't even see the "X" or where my rounds were hitting, so I couldn't adjust my POA like I did on the red circles where I could see.
Beretta 92 FS


CZ Rami


CZ Shadow


5.75" circles
The Beretta 92 shot the lowest POI & I had to really struggle to aim higher.


30' on this target since 21' was easy enough.
The Beretta 92 was the hardest to keep the groups tight.
The SW 64 had a 6 rd cylinder, so I shot 6 rds on each target instead of 5 per target with the 9mm which inflated the point count compared to the others.
Shadow 2 always wins: how I love that gun!!!

 

[700 LTR 223]

I had contemplated buying a Shadow 2 optic ready version. Looks like yours shoots well for you! In 9mm I have a Glock and a couple Sigs with red dots.

It does & always has.
I had "The Wizard" turn it into a single action & do some spring work (not the full Cajun upgrade).
I have a list of everything in my cmp somewhere, haha!
The "heft" of this gun is the best in my hand.
I'd love to get a .22LR conversion kit for the gun just for gun, but during Covid you couldn't get them anymore.

I think you should try shooting some steel. Shooting groups on paper is fun, but shooting steel is exhilarating.

I love shooting steel, but then I can't shoot groups either.

I always intended after retiring to shoot steel at MCFG on Friday nights.
Right when I retired Covid shut things down & I never got around to it afterwards.
It has amazed me when I shoot steel & how easy it is until you put a stopwatch on it & then all of a sudden you doing fine until it takes 3 rounds to hit the steel.

First time at the range since I had Covid 14 days ago.
After testing negative after 6 days, I wanted to go last week but just not energetic enough.
I went to Church Sunday but I was woozy & glad to get home.
But, I felt so much better today!

21' using reloads.
I was pleased with the Taurus GX4 on the top row: good enough for personal defense.
10 rounds each target & I was pleased with my shooting a slightly tighter group free hand, which is a miracle for me, haha!
The Beretta 92FS is a pleasure to shoot (middle target) even if it can't keep up with my two remaining CZs.
Bottom row with the CZ Rami & Shadow 2 were a sheer delight: 90% in the red/orange oblong circles.
The reloads I was shooting didn't cycle well in the Shadow 2 (shorter length of round than usual).
