I took my Phd candidate daughter to the range yesterday and she learned that she loved my 22/45, liked my CZ75, but disliked the GP160 with .38 special, hated it with .357 magnum, and really hated the P97. Credit to her that she shot at least a magazine/cylinder full in forming her opinions.
However, the trip raised some questions for me.
1. The GP160 seemed to catch on one of the six cylinders. That is it was noticeably harder to cock/pull the DA trigger. I do not have this experience when dry firing.
2. The 10/22 occasionally failed to fire some rounds and the extractor did not extract those rounds. They seemed to fire just fine later in a single six. (Note: bull barrel too heavy for daughter's liking and the single six had to be cocked "every time.")
Possible causes?
The is the first time I've been able to shoot the GP160 and it is really fun and amazingly accurate with both .38 and .357. The plastic P97 seems cheap compared to the CZ75. I may have to get an all steel .45 ACP. This could be expensive.
