So I picked up a verrrrry lightly used BG 2.0 at a LGS for a steal. Looks like it has hardly been used. Took her to the range last week, was surprised how mild the recoil is for this small/light of a gun. I suppose the locked breech, low bore axis, and the double recoil springs have a whole lot to do with it. I own a number of blowbacks, even the ones heavier/larger than the BG recoil more. Even the new Cheetah 80x.
I digress. So last week it was pretty good, I also found it seemed to shoot to the left. Since I was just getting the feel for it and was only shooting to put rounds through it and help with any break in issues I didn't pay much attention to that yet.
Went again today, put another box down range. I was more focused this time, and I did notice she shot to the left. Probably a half inch at 3 yards, maybe 3/4 at 5, little more at 7. I am not convinced, however that it's all the gun. I have a tendency to shoot semis left anyhow, probably comes from me shooting revolvers most of the time, DA, so you know where the finger goes.
Even if it was left, and still on the target though, it shot one ragged hole at 3 yards, one ragged hole and a few about a half inch away at 5 yards, and a bunch of holes in a 2-3 inch pattern at 7.
I still wasn't convinced the left pull was the gun, so I moved my trigger finger right, from just west of the first knuckle to a little over halfway between the knuckle and finger tip. Voila! Most in or just surrounding the bull. I may still adjust the front sight, but for now I am going to leave it alone.
Shot off another full box, no problem, then loaded both mags with a box of Critical Defense and let'er bang. Single shot, double tap, triple tap, the rest of the mag rapid fire, then start as if I was pulling from pocket or belt point and shoot one, or two. All somewhere close to center mass.
During all this I had no mechanical problems. Everything fed, lotsa booms.
The BG is now sometimes EDC. Since there is no safety, and I do not own any semi without a safety, the only thing left for me to do is carry it around for a week or so cocked and with no round chambered to see if any of my holsters/methods cause the trigger to pull. I anticipate not, but I have met Murphy too many times to not check out any possible mistakes. BTW, I also have an Aholster pocket holster coming, Kydex, that is a little less flexible than my other pocket holsters so that may add to the security.
Sorry for the long winded thingy, but my fingers just kinda took off on their own........
