Finally got some Range time in!!!!

[bersaguy]

Well, I finally got to go to the range with the 380's and try out some new Fiocchi Ammo I bought last year and never had a chance to make it to the range. Glad I went. Ended up getting Sam to do some work on a Bersa with a trigger issue and the Llama failing to remain open after last round was out of magazine. Took Sam about 30 minutes to have them both sending rounds down range. This is at 25 feet. I am not totally satisfied with it but I think I could hit my target in my defense at that range anyway. Need to practice a little more often. Totally love the ammo and it does have a little more push and no FTF's and after Sam was done with them guns, no jams and were flawless after that. Went threw 100 rounds and very satisfied with it's performance.......

Don't buy Fiocchi frangible 9mm. It sucks and wasn't all that accurate, either. With the test I done, it rarely broke into more than two pieces. Usually, a shallow section of the base would break cleanly off from the cone. DRT whoops it real bad.

Now do a few sprints first and then try it!

At 65 years old I don't plan on doing any sprinting much less to practice at a range. I don't plan on running from anyone and is one reason I carry a gun. I don't want to have to run or sprint but I want to be able to stand my ground and defend myself. If I have to sprint and chase someone the threat on me is gone and no need to chase them. That is for the Police to do at that point. I did all the running or sprinting I plan on doing while in the military and that was many many years ago..............jmho

I believe the sprints were in reference to trying to get your heart rate up/adrenaline.  Then focus on on sights, control your breathing and hitting your target.

Sam is the man in this area. I think he can make a capgun shoot .50cal in 20 minutes if you buy him lunch :up:

 

 

Nice shooting from one old fart to another :rock:

Well, You as right as rain about Sam. He does great work for sure. as far as the sprint remark from above, I kinda had a feeling what he was saying and he is probably correct about my breathing. I have been pulling slightly left all my life but I figure 3 inches either way at 25 feet will still stop a  bad guy or at least get his attention to the fact he has been shot..........lol. Thanks for the compliment on the shooting and it is very consistent for me and not bad since it's been about 6 months since last range outing plus using a new bullet I have never fired before. It does pack a little more punch than the PMC's I have been shooting and I like them and glad I did because when I got them they were on sale and I stocked up fairly well on them.  Price was just to good to pass up 3 years ago on bulk buy..................... :rofl: :rofl:

Not bad for a young guy.

If that trigger spring is hopping off the bar on that bersa you can send it off for repairs. But it takes 8 weeks.

Nope, I got Sam to look at it at the range and he found a pin sticking out just enough to drag on trigger slide. He took a small punch and tapped on it and drove it all the way in and it's fine now. It was my newest gun and had to issue of trigger pull having a hard spot in it but after Sam got done with it went and ran 3 magazines through it and it worked just fine.................. :up:  :up:
