[Live Free Or Die]

I got a chance to shoot my 995 (9mm) today for the first time. No malfunctions -- it ate 50 rounds of Remington UMC without issue. Accuracy was good -- limited by the shooter, I'm afraid. All my shooting was done standing up with no support, using the iron sights. At close range (25 ft), 5 rounds made one big hole. At 25 yards I had trouble seeing the center of the target, and 10 rounds fell in about a 4" circle. Here are my likes and dislikes:

+ fed smoothly, no malfunctions
+ good accuracy
+ low recoil/noise
+ good sight picture

- flimsy magazine
- bolt handle took a piece of my finger off (my fault)
- unsatisfactory trigger
- hard to sight-in

It turned out that I had to adjust the rear windage ALL the way to the left in order to have my shots line up with the front post. There is actually no room left for further adjustment. That's annoying.

And as I noted above, the trigger was not good. Pretty crunchy, and a very long, fairly heavy pull. About halfway through the pull, the resistance lets up suddenly, then comes back again for the second half of the pull. It was weird -- almost like I was pulling the trigger twice just to get it to go "boom" once. Any tips on how I might improve the trigger feel (DIY)?

I think Norton had the same problem with his sights. Mounting a $30 BSA red dot on top seemed to fix it....and it's dang accurate.

My 995 actually came with a red-dot. I'll probably try it out, but I was interested in seeing how good the iron ghost sights are. From what I can tell, they are good -- it's just that the rifle shoots way to the right unless the windage is pegged way to the left.

I know I'm answering my own question here, but something just occurred to me. I believe the front post sight screws onto another piece that is connected to the muzzle by allen-head screws. I could probably loosen the whole assembly and rotate it slightly to the left in order to undo the apparent bias to the right.
