Mad Oilman had is in-laws in town and they expressed an interestin shooting handguns (as details on Mrs. Oilman's site By The Way
All in all a good day at the range. As it was a weekday, we basically had the place to ourselves. Here are some of the results (all are 10 yards).
The first target is the one used with our new S&W 617 revolver. This is a 2-1/2" circle
Not bad. Since the gun is new, the trigger is still pretty stiff. The way we shoot .22, I don't think it will take long to break it in properly. And groupings should tighten significantly.
Next up is the Ruger Security 6 .357 Magnum. Now this is the kind of shooting I can be happy with. (3 target)
And yes, that target represents six shots. Nothing like following one shot with another down the same hole.
Finally the H&K USP Compact .40 S&W. This grouping was my second magazine (first group had two flinches which I solved quickly). Again, I'll take this any day. (3" targets)
This target was shot near the end of the session. Fatigue is setting in but respectable results.
All in all a good day at the range. 450 rounds of .22lr, 150 rounds of .40 S&W, 100 rounds of .38 Special and 24 rounds of .357 Magnum. And the more I shoot the H&K, the better I get. Practice does make perfect.
