So, I picked up a new SP-01 Tactical at the last gun show. Today was only my second outing with it. My first outing was cut short because of weather... I only got to shoot about 60 rounds, but felt pretty pleased with my purchase nonetheless.
This morning my neighbor called and asked if I wanted to hit the range ... said sure! It was nice outside (outdoor, private range) today... gentle breeze, overcast and cool. A lovely day for making boom noises in the woods.
I set up a couple of soda cans at the berm and put a standard 25 yard slow fire pistol target out as well. My neighbor wanted to zero in his scope on his rifle, and was taking a long time ... of course, he was out just past 50 yards.
I got bored waiting around and decided to see if I could hit the cans from behind the 50 yard line. They were jumping and rolling all over the place, and my neighbor couldn't believe it.
He told me to dump a few rounds into my target, which I did. I had 5 rounds left, fired about 1 round per second. Of course, from 53 yards, I couldn't even tell if I hit paper. I emptied the SP01 and we walked downrange. All of my shooting was weaver, standing.
All 5 shots were on paper. One made contact with the bullseye, another on the line between 7 and 8, two on the 5 and 6 line and one in the 5. I attached a picture of the target.
Lovely little pistol!

Edit: No failures of any sort. Kind of goes without saying, which is why I didn't mention it... Ammo was WWB (100 rounds/box, bulk) from WalMart.
