Nothing went right. Took a few guns that I haven't had a chance to shoot and each had something wrong, probably me.
Glock 17 Norfolk police trade
Colt Official Police 1930s
S&W 28-2
Sig P220 9mm European heel release.
Ammo used
-9mm PPU 115 fmj. Agula HP don't remember the grain
-38spl WWB 130gr fmj
-357 mag Magtech 158 gr lead nose
All shooting done at 10 yards or so
Where do I begin?
OK so the Glock as expected shoot both brands just fine BUUUT. ...for some reason I was shooting about 2 inches left. Now I know it's not a target gun but give me any Glock and I can keep all shoots center mass with quick shooting. In all my police guns, which is most of them, I've never had to adjust sights. Not even for new guns. And on top of that I was kinda all over the target chest area. Weird.
Anyway, I figure let's move on. Grab the Sig P220 and load a mag of PPU 115 gr fmj. All fine...bang, bang, bang, empty mag and reload. This time I was closer but still shooting left. Reloaded with the Agula HP and thinking that since this is an older gun, late 70s, it probably won't handle hp too well. But what's the worst that can happen? Not feed? Then I'll just pull that ammo and continue with the PPU. Well I was kinda right. The first round wouldn't chamber. Lock the slide back but now I can't take the mag out due to the round being half way out. Can't push it back in either! WTH! I pull the mag down enough to pull the slide off. Finally managed to push the round back in the mag but the mag won't come out. Goes about half way out and stops. In, out, in, out over and over and nothing. But it inserted fine. I'm thinking it's the ammo since there was no problem with the PPU. Eventually I managed to get the ammo out of the mag and it slid out just fine. Done with that one for today. Next!
Colt Official Police. Shoots fine, almost no recoil with the WWB 130gr fmj but I'm not hitting much of anything. After a few cylinders of ammo I settled down and it was pretty accurate but once again it never takes this long. I'm usually one target.
S&W 28-2. 6 inch barrel. The WWB 130gr recoil was....well ....none existent. Accurate gun too. Moving on to the 357.....Yea apperently I forgot to bring that so I buy a box of Magtech 158 gr lead nose and start shooting. BANG, BANG, BANG, CLICK, CLICK, BANG. Next cylinder, CLICK, CLICK, BANG, CLICK, BANG, BANG. Here we go again, now what? Seems like some of the rounds needed a second strike and some didnt. I'm guessing it's ammo primer related since it wasn't a problem with the WWB. Or maybe a combination.
Either way at this point I was done. I finished off the 9mm through the glock. Aiming to the right more I hit center mass.
Packed up and went home
