New Burris FastFire on the S&W 617

Just put this on a few weeks ago. Got to the range to zero it today. Bright sun and an iPhone for a camera. EGW mount.







This is a lot of fun.

That is awesome. Just awesome.

I have a similar JPoint on my XDm 3.8 9mm carry gun.

I like it a lot, but the plastic screen is very easy to scratch.

So, how did it shoot?

Two hand unsupported regularly 2" 10 shot group sat 25 yards single action, 3" double action. There were some groups with a 4-5" flyer, but the main groups stayed tight. The dot covered the 1" black bull on my targets.

Clay birds on the hill at 30-40 yards were toast. Same with the smaller pieces. Not a hit every shot, but only very small fragments when i called it a day.

I'm 60 with aging eyes but good hands and arms, no shaking yet.

I have installed a Wolff spring kit in the gun, full power main and 14 pound rebound. Buff and polish the internals. No work on the sear.

I ordered another Burris, with a S&W rail and a 1911 mount. Wonder how it would work on the 1 1/2" Les Baer?
