...and it was good. I'd been looking forward to it since I'd made a spring change in my CZ75, I'd thought the factory spring had gotten a little light (10.5 pounds "tested") and stuck a Wolff 20# in it's place.
I also had and have some bad habits to work on. The parallelogram and weaver stances I find damned uncomfortable, and when the CZ went iffy during the last session it fostered a *nasty* flinch.
I worked the flinch out in teh forst 50 rounds or so form my P22. Trouble is, the Walther is beginnign to feel it's "age".... I've had the gun for 3 months now but I'm already edging towards 1000 rounds, should pass that on the next range session. The safety feels looser, and the sights seemed to be drifting along without me. Still, didn't do bad with it, could keep a 4" group at 7 yards on a target I could barely see, moved back to 15 yards with a better target and got good results, picked off some 3x5 index cards at 7 yards, rapid fire, and then just plinked at a 3'x3' target at 25 yards. Mind you, I've got the short version. I did find the barrel had loosened when I got home though.
The P22 burnt me once though, ejection distance was just enough to land the shell on top of my index finger. I felt good that my immediate reflex was to take care of the gun, then shed the burning hot shell.... i didn't even think about it until after I'd done it.
The CZ75's new spring is awesome It feels like it did new..... still flinching a little, and having trouble figuring out my holds and stances. Everything works middling so far, as long as I can remember to squeeze the trigger slowly and be able to not get the shakes, I'm hitting the X-ring at 15 yards easy. Trouble with me is, once I lock my elbow I'm using muscles I haven't built up in a while and the sights start wagging. I've also got terrible eyesight... I keep losing my target in distance fuzziness. Once I figure how to shoot with both eyes open it shouldn't be too much problem (My scrip is -7 spherical in both eyes, even my polycarb glasses are heavy).
Once I got home though, I did something stupid.... I tried to pick up the little zippered bag I was using after I'd unzippered it. Both guns were in there action open with no mags though, but it's still sickening to watch your prized CZ plummet to the floor from 3' up. I did get my foot under it before it struck though... ow. No damage, other than my pride and humility.
Once I field stripped everything, I noticed something odd.... both guns were unusually clean, just a little powder, and the barrels only needed a patch of hoppes and a dry patch each. I 'd put over 400 rounds through the walther, so it had some caked powder on the breech face, but the 75 just had a little dusting of soot. Pretty good for 100 there too.
Can't wait to get an anuual membership to the range... I'd burn 500 round bulk packs through my walther in a heartbeat if I had free range time
