My last day at the range on Tuesday was pretty lousy on 3 counts. First I pinched the krap out of my finger with the slide of my Range Officer. (don't get smug, you've all done it) Shot okay with the RO and Volquartsen Scorpion, nothing great. Then I was going to shoot 48 rd with the GP100 .357 and only shot 3 because it was binding up really badly. So I left early and when I got to the parking lot I had a flat tire. So I went home and took the GP apart to it's main components. Mainspring out, trigger group out, hammer and cylinder out. First time I've taken a revolver down beyond taking the grips off. Curious if people do that regularly?? So I Gunscrubbered everything and re-oiled it. I didn't see anything funny inside, but it's working great again.
So today I shot the same 3 guns. Only 12 rd of 38 SPL and 12 rd of .357 in the GP100. Nothing great, the best I did was this 10 yd single action group with .357 ammo. I had a 3/4" group going til that last one at 10 o'clock.
Shot 50 rd of .45 with the Range Officer. Got a 99-2X on a 50 ft timed fire target. That's the best I've scored with it on an NRA target.
I did have an FTL. I've had 5 FTL's in 788 rd and 4 of those have been with the same Wilson Combat 7 rd magazine. One was with a factory mag, but that was in the first box of ammo. The 2 Wilson Combat 8 rounders I bought have been flawless.
Then I shot 110 rounds of .22 with the Volquartsen. On my last target I shot a 100-3X timed fire, so I went out on a high note. Pretty good day overall, and no more flats in the parking lot. Got 4 new tires yesterday. Hard to believe a CHEAP set is now $ 500. I was NOT that long ago I could get 4 tires installed for $ 200.
