To answer a few of the questions. I am a reasonably good shooter. For you golfers out there I am probably the equivalent of about a 3 handicap. I aint going pro but have no issues breaking 80, so to speak. I do plan on having a buddy shoot the gun later this week. And yes, I am getting older. I have noticed a strange flinch in the last several range sessions that has never been there before. Noticed it on the golf course as well. That could certainly do it.
The original question in my mind at least was more about the expectation of the grouping at 15 yards, not really specific to this particular gun. When that other guy told me my expectations were unrealistic I disagreed with him in my mind but wanted verification from other shooters. Sounds to me after reading these posts that my expectations of being able to for the most part cover five shot groups with my hand slow fire at 15 yards is a reasonable goal.
Since the conversation has turned towards the gun itself, man what a weird trigger. It stages almost like a two stage rifle, even in single action. I am a good revolver shooter and I want the SA to be crisp. I have no idea why they did that, but I am not sure that is what was messing with me. I tend to shoot my best five shot groups in about 8-12 seconds. Deliberate, but not starting over every time. So I was getting thru the first stage of that trigger long before it went bang. I also had a small surface bruise on my palm that I did not realize was happening, but it seemed very comfortable in my hand. So I dunno.
I brought my Glock 19 as a side show and once after several HK mags accidently pulled the trigger on the first shot of a mag out of the 19. I mean I was aimed at the target but not aligned with the target. Cant remember that happening either.
I also had one failure which was a show stopper requiring me to drop the mag. I am not concerned about it since I was kind of breaking in the gun, but it was still there. Empty casing did not fully eject. 124gr HST. Could have been anything and again, not judging it off of that. I respect breaking guns in.
Anyway thanks for the discussion. I will report back with the next range results. I plan on taking my Sig P239 and Kahr K9 as direct comparisons.
