Well was able to get out and do quite a bit of shooting this weekend. Was great. Just informal plinking paper targets at 10 yards. With the occasional can or so tossed in the mix. Great weather,great company,great time! However was not thrilled with my some of my shooting. I have come to think I'm ready to offload my last 2 autos for a few more revolvers.
I started buying handguns May 2016. I have 2 1911's left and 3 revolvers. Both 1911 aquired this year. One RIA 22 and the other an sr1911 5" in 45 acp. No matter what I do I can't group very well with an auto. Yes I do get the occasional good group( everyone has different standards I suppose). Had the same issue with my p01 and g17 which went down the road within the last few months.All the guns we're great guns, just not in my hands. I SUCK! Like 6" groups at 10 yards kinda suck. I shot my brothers sp2022 and buddy's commander 1911 this weekend aswell. I did get the occasional 2-3" group with a flyer or two,but nothing impressive. It's my fault and has to be the way I handle them. Some I shot better than others,but none to amazing.
Now in the same range session I would put down the auto and pickup my gp100,or my blackhawk produce beautiful tight little groups consistently . Like 2" or less .My best group from the last two days where from my brothers SBH 44 mag. I put one cylinder into an inch, not terribly impressive at such close range to many, but for me I was happier than hell. But I was still surprised that I could group so much more consistently with that Boomer than i could with my little 22 cal 1911. I also noticed that I am more recoil shy from the .45 acp than I am with the .44mag. I definitely tend to dip the nose on the 1911 in 45 alot nore. Even when alternating back and forth between the .22 and 45 to break the habit o would still occasional dip the 45. But than would Pickup the .357 with a cylinder full of 180gr buffalo bore and no dip. Put the bullets right on point
.
So I think I'm going to sell the two 1911's and get another revolver or two. I shoot them better, and enjoy them more. Kind of a random post, but was wondering if anyone else has gone through the same thing?
