Took the new Sig to the range and shot 150 rounds of S & B 125 gr. FMJ and 20 rounds of Speer Gold Dot JHP 125 gr. This was after I field stripped it, cleaned and lubed with Breakfree and FP-10.
This pistol handled unbelievably well. Very little recoil, almost a push rather than a snap. The weight (and this isn't much) absorbed the 357 Sig very easily.
There was a bit more muzzle blast than a 9mm or even a 45ACP but it was not a problem at all and I was shooting in a darkened indoor range.
Overall, I was absolutely impressed. Got it home, cleaned and lubed it once again and the pistol is raring to go.
By the way, there was ZERO ftf's, not a single blip, no misfeeds, zilch. The pistol ate everything and threw it out effortlessly.
I didn't work much on accuracy, just getting a feel for the DA/SA trigger and handling of the gun.
I tried finding 357 Sig Snap Caps but NO ONE in Denver carries this caliber.
My gun dealer sold me the S & B for $9.80 a box for the 357 Sig. Not a bad price. I bought five boxes to start.
That's it. A beautiful pistol that will be my friend. Now am waiting for a Milt Sparks VM-2 and carrying it in a Wilderness Safepacker holster.
More shooting in the near future.
