TODAY I SET ASIDE MY BULLSEYE SHOOTING AND PRACTICED SD SHOOTING WITH MY EDC GUN

[chief38]

When I usually go to the range I love to shoot as accurately as possible and that is usually the focus of my shooting. I have been guilty of not practicing with my EDC CCW gun for over 2 months now and today was the day to do that. It was absolutely a gorgeous day here and so we had breakfast and I grabbed 300 rounds of 124 grain 9mm.

The first few strings I could not help myself and used my Sig P365 as a 50 foot "bullseye target gun", then I caught myself and refocused. The rest of the day I spent shooting combat drills at 7 yards. Here are two of the better groupings I shot today. One was 30 rounds and the other 50 rounds. These were shot pretty much as fast as I thought I could hit with and the P365 has now racked up over 8,000 rounds with no issues. As Sig suggests, I did replace the springs about a year ago - just normal maintenance though. I was happy about how I shot and the day was spectacular!

Wait a second! A fellow with the moniker, chief38 Carrie’s some kind of a self loader instead of a Chief’s Special???

Get a rope!

Great targets!! Bullseye shooting teaches us three things--- Sight alignment, sight picture and trigger control the proof is in the pudding'. That discipline makes for good shooting no matter what weapon we shoot .

LOL! I used to be a hard line revolver man for SD/EDC/CCW! I originally carried a Chief's Special for over 4 decades - hence the "Forum Handle". 7 years ago I saw the light, inspected and ran 100 rounds through a friend's P365 (instantly fell in love with it) and that was that! My beloved Chief's Special is now basically just part of my collection with the other J Frames I own and while it does get shot once in a while it no longer serves as my EDC.

Yesterday I practiced and shot 300 rounds out of my Sig P365 which is sort of a difficult chore and not fun to do with a M60. With the P365 I could shoot it all day long. OK - "get the rope"........ I'll shoot it in half with the Sig. HA HA HA!

Excellent shooting! Easily minute-of-miscreant accuracy.

I'm up to 52 years of J frame carry love. Mostly Airweights and they seem attached, like they grew there. But of late I too have been practicing with my 365 and actually enjoying the bottom feeder. No doubt about it the thing shoots.

As a geezer I wonder if I would lose my boomer status carrying such a newfangled weapon?

I used to shoot groups like that, but they had powder burns on the target. LOL. Lee

Nice shooting. You should see some of the woeful targets that appear at NV CCW classes. My only excuse last year was that I had not been carrying this gun or practicing with it since 2019. I did not even manage a range trip just before the class, consequently I only managed 296/300. Pulled some early ones low before getting my grip sorted.

Below is 10 rounds each at 3, 5, and 7 yards, no time limit, using a Walther PPS M2. Guy in the next seat in the class managed a large shotgun pattern (several 7s) with a rented Glock 19. On seeing my target he asked, "What the ___ do you do for a living?" My deadpan reply, "I'm retired, and really need to practice more often."
