THE CZickness LI.....Shooting for a Summer to Remember

[88E30M50]

That's cool. I'm not fast enough to catch what actors are using unless it's a really long, slow shot. I mean like a 3 minute close up of the roll marks is enough for me to tell if it's a revolver or semi-auto.

I've been carrying the PCR for a week now and keep thinking how small and light it is. It really feels comfortable in the holster. Then, last night, I put it next to my P229 .40 Legion and was amazed to see that it's pretty much identically sized except for the slide width. It really feels like the slim, light 9mm for summer carry but I guess not so much

Did some trigger work on the Rem 1911 this evening. Got the trigger pull right where I want it, right in line with my others. There's some very slight creep, but hoping that will smooth out a little with round count. It's really only noticeable during dry fire.

Original with 80 series parts
4 lbs 14.8 oz

Removed 80 series parts, installed TJ's spacer.
4 lbs 0.6 oz

Polished sear, disconnector, sear spring contact surfaces. Adjusted sear spring (sear and disco legs).
3 lbs 2 oz

The polishing took 0.6 ounces off the disco pull weight and 0.9 ounces off the sear pull weight. I forgot to reassemble and check actual trigger pull weight though. If I had to guess maybe 2-3 ounces off actual trigger pull.

And I'll reaffirm what lots of people already know, pull weight is only a part of how a trigger "feels" to the shooter. My Sar K12 has a 5 pound trigger, but shoots very well and the trigger feels crisp. It will eventually get some loving in that department though.

That's quite an improvement.

Good evening, all!

I would have guessed that closer to 3.5 pounds. Huh.

Yet another round of optical swaptical. Testing a new Mount, trying to help body posture with weak hand transitions

By your setup I assume that you are left handed, yes?

Yes, for long guns. Pistols and everything else in life I'm righty.

This is driven by an ocular deficit. Training around this particular obstacle has had me through hoops with optics over the years. Costly hoops, but useful information gathered along the way.

Edit: Sidenote, the Troy ambi mag release is a lifesaver for lefty's. I very highly recommend.

Next week's rant is about sling hardware. When my Blue Force Gear wire loops get here, there will be no more qd's/clips/attachments of any kind on ARs or AK's. I'm sick of **** binding up. More on that later.

Absolutely those, but not the ones that come apart. The OG 4" loops.

Been a beautiful day. Wife kafe klatched with half dozen or so church ladies. I made a trip to Sam's and Lowes. Dug a few potatoes. Stopped at the farmhouse cafe to hug my little sis on the way home. I haven't done much shooting lately, but I have been getting some stuff accomplished.
Nuther $1800 on the mortgage principle this week. Progress being made. Drug (dragged?) logs yesterday.

Farmhouse Cafe. We used to stop there with our twins when they were little munchkins. Assuming it’s the same place.
