Day At The Range With My Smiths

[AzShooter1]

Great day at the range today with my S&W EZ-9 and my S&W 617.

I started by shooting the 617. I had replaced the front and rear sights so it was time to sight it in. I started at 10 yards, got my center and then moved to 15 yards. I normally sight in at 15 since it gives me a good 7 - 35 yard setting for Steel Challenge Matches.

I fired 140 rounds using my DS-10 Speed Loaders. They really take the time to reload out of the equation.

Groups were within 3 inches at 15 yards off hand. I was shooting Remington Golden Bullets so I know they will be tighter with my Federal BYOBs. I didn't want to waist them on sighting in,

Next I took out my EZ-9. This is my home defense gun and CCW weapon of choice these days. I like how easy it is to rack, to load and to shoot.

I started at 7 yards on a Bianchi Target and kept all rounds inside 1/2 of the X zone. Not bad shooting for a little gun. It always surprise me on how little recoil there is but I could feel it today after just shooting the heavy 617.

Nice outing. I have a 380 ez. I been thinking about a 9mm too.

My M617 also likes the Goldens.

I was seriously looking at a 617 on the Buds site a while back… now they’re “out of stock”, and have been so for quite a while.

Someday they’ll be back.

Sounds like a great day in the range… so much so that I think I’ll go there tomorrow.

Stay safe.

If you're wanting an M617, you could get on this seller's wait list. I still get a notification at least once a month on the 4" when I signed up for it over a year ago. It goes for $870, about $40 more than what I paid for mine a year ago.
