15 American Eagles...

[Anton Dee]

My little Model 34 is used to CCI Standard ammo, but now I found a cheap source for American Eagle.
As I was curious as to how the Model 34 would perform with this ammo, so I used my normal practice of shooting 15 round without checking in between. (obviously, I DID see the first couple in the white..)
That way I can see where they punch the target, before making any adjustments.
One hand stance, 10 meters\11 yards(?)

Must say I did not even try that hard although I was in a quite relaxed
'mode'. Not sure whether I will use this AE ammo in competion, as they are much louder and smoke a lot more than the CCI's I'm used to.
But this is not bad grouping, is it?

Very nice shooting. I've found the J frames (even a 4" Kit Gun with target stocks) to be a little more difficult to get to group tightly than larger guns.

Normally, they are.
But, as I suffer from an irritating and almost "chronical" tennis-arm, I find this 34 more comfortable to shoot for the duration of a match-routine.
(40 round match, 10 practice/sighting in rounds).
My Model 18-1 has a much better trigger and superiour sights and will always out-shoot this little one, but I cannot lift it and shoot well for more than 10-15 rounds..

(Yes, it feels somewhat .... to say that...)

Your little 34 is also worth about 15 American Silver Eagles now days. That is some good one hand shooting.

What is the price of one Silver Eagle these days?
