were right. At least it seems so. I had some time today so I took the Model 13 and a Model 6906 to the range. Both had had Failures to Fire on their last trips out.
Before I left the house, I checked the strain screw and it was about 1 1/2 turns loose. I tightened it down and checked the trigger pull by dry firing. The double action trigger pull seemed a bit heavier, maybe.
Off to the range I went. I put 100 rounds of 158gr JHP through the firearm. The first 50 were sort of sketchy reloads that I had committed to buy before I realized that they were reloads. The price was cheap enough that I didn't feel bad using them for range fodders. They all fired without problem and once again the Model 13 made me look like I can actually shoot.
The second box was Aguila 158 gr JHP. I found that when I was digging in the ammo locker for something other than WWB to use. I don't remember when I bought it, actually I forgot I had it.
No problems with this ammo either and once again the gun did the hard work of being accurate.
I did discover (I think) a cure for my tendency to shoot to my left of point of aim. I shoot using the Isosceles triangle position and I found that as I was shooting my left elbow tended to buckle a bit. I concentrated on the front site, breathing, and keeping that elbow straight. That improved the groups.
This is a sweet, sweet, shooting handgun. Both double and single action trigger break are very crisp. The double action pull is smooth as can be.
