Can't speak to the M&P personally, but I know you'll love the P238. !0 days?

 

6.6 now that is nice! Thanks for the vid.

 

10 day waiting period after purchase for background check...

 

Yes, that 10 day period is the law.

 

I would think it would be ok.

 

Ohhh, thats nice! I would like one of those to join the bullseye league at my local range.

 

Continues to shoot well.

me not so much at 50 feet with iron sights. :eek6:

That will be the 22LR shoot coming up at the range, a little bit of a challenge for me. Shoot one handed (strong hand), 50 feet for 3 times sessions of 10 shots.

Today I tried some differed 22LR in the SW Victory. Shoot all well, one stove pipe on feed 2nd round shooting CCI Standard with Lead Round nose.

Exceptional with CCI MINI-MAG 36gr. HP 1260 FPS, Federal Blue Box 36gr HP 1260 FPS, CCI Stinger, and Remington Golden Bullet plated round nose rated at 1255 FPS. So these I will shoot in the competition in either the Victory or the Buckmark with scope.

Need to upgrade the victory a bit before I get comfortable shooting it all the time for comp. Reduce the barrel weight and mount up the scope.

Btw, I was on the target all shots even out to 60 feet, but it was shooting into the dark with the iron sights.

Nice TACSOL, I have the rail and flash-hider, works nicely. Never did get a fluted barrel.

Smith must have been working in advance with a company in Iowa for the SW22 www.volquartsen.com (I hope I typed that right). Two barrels and maybe a machine aluminum rail (not sure on the rail).

Barrels are lighter and match grade, on is a carbon fiber unit, price is high for the fluted unit, but I may look it over.

 

Squeeze and recoil anticipation, the Ruger American sounds like a nice one. 45ACP?

 

Thank you both for the encouragement and help. I appreciate it!!!

 

Did my first practice session this afternoon for the 22LR Bullseye Competion starting Sunday.

Only think I will say is 'wobble'! 50 feet 3 sessions 30 rounds.

I will hope that I am somewhere in the middle of the group when all the counting is done on Sunday night.

I did order a new Hi-Lux Red Dot for the Victory, my plan is to use the SW as my backup gun if the Browning Buckmark breaks (not likely), the Victory is heavier that the Browning, but I think it shoots a bit better with the 6 inch barrel.



I will post a picture or two after Sunday's gathering in the evening. I think we have 40 shooters, it could be a long night.

All told, 24 shooters for this evening's shoot.

I am humbled. Need lots of single handed shooting practice, plus a lot more arm strength.

At least I was not the worst, but I can improve.

Well, the Ruger P238 Valentine's gift was a complete hit. (No pun intended) Headed to the range on Tuesday. I know she'll outshoot me.

 

Sig P238?

 

Yes... What a dope. Too many guns, so few brain cells... The Ruger 22 Mag was a gift to me.

 

Did you get an LCR in 22mag. or the SP101 in 22mag?

Let us know how that one shoots, the Sig should shoot fine! Brain cells, you can never have enough guns.

Ok so here's what just happened... I met the guy to make the 22 Mag revolver purchase. Nice guy, but I had a kinda uneasy feeling when we met outside my local favorite FFL. So, I politely told him I had changed my mind and we mutually agreed we would part ways. Overall a very tough but smart decision I believe. In the mean time, yesterday, my 9mm M&P Shield purchase finally came to fruition. I got the firearm for a very nice savings and applied that savings towards the acquisition of a very nicely kept Ruger 10/22 with Bushnell scope. Just waiting for the 10 days to pass...

No shooting today, as we focused on getting my Son ready to head off to Primm for his first race of the season. Maybe this weekend.
