While on vacation up in Ironwood, Michigan, I stumbled across a gravel pit that the locals shoot at. I brought my new TCM along with me just in case such an opportunity arose.
I wasn't exactly shooting for really tight groups or anything, more of a function shake-down and seeing where it landed on paper. Mine was hitting a few inches to the left consistently, so it looks like I'll be drifting the rear sight a little bit when I get home. Once I figured out where it was hitting, I had no issues busting little pieces of clay pigeons or picking shotgun hulls off of sticks at 10-15 yards.
Overall, I'm really pleased. I put 50 rounds through it, and the TCM handles beautifully. The recoil is very tame, although the muzzle blast is quite impressive. Being a brass hoarder, I was pleasantly surprised to see most of my empties landing in a neat pile about 3 feet to my right. The only issue that I came across is on a few occasions the extractor would fail to pull the empty out of the chamber after firing. I'm hoping it's just an issue with being a new pistol, and it didn't cause any severe hang-ups. Didn't get a chance to send any 9mm down range yet, I forgot to bring the extra mainspring along. I'm hoping to run a few hundred more rounds of both through it in the next few weeks to get a better feel for its long term reliability and performance.
