Got both of these .40's out to the range yesterday for a shakedown of recent drop in conversions of both to 9mm. No problems with either.
Well, I shot my C*** Match Target (Second Series) after having the recoil spring replaced. It did well.
I fired my M12 SB with non-+P ammo, ascertaining that iff I gripped the gun very firmly, recoil was within acceptable limits. Accuracy was acceptable.
I fired my 4.25" 25-2 RB at 25 yards, both at steel and at paper, and learned that I was still in the ballpark, but needed a bit of practice.
More .22 practice to follow.

My new to me Colt 1911 Level One 45acp, and my S&W Shield 9mm.

Weather condition was perfect today for range time. I shot my tricked-out m&p 9PC, 5906, and 7" AR pistol. Had a blast...I wish I had more ammo.

:Nothing!
Won't get to shoot till Mid March.

I sighted in a new to me .22 l.r. Korth, FN 150, S&W 15-3 and MR73. I enjoyed the S&W 15-3 with my reloads and a 158 gr LRN the most and shot it at 25 yards to finish the box of ammo. I changed the service grips to Hogues after the range trip because I think I can get a better and more consistent hold on the gun with them.

I had the pleasure of shooting these three today with forum member Jim aka LPD256, along with a few that he brought along.

Went back to the range today with a variety. I have been working on the TZ75 off and on for a couple years. Latest work was a bit of shaving on the sear cage to fit standard CZ75 magazines. I was able to get them to fit but I need more rounds through it to double check reliability. Still a very accurate handgun.
The Turkish SARB6P was a pleasant surprise. Exceedingly accurate, as my first 5 shots at 7yds went into one ragged hole. The group opened up a bit when I started shooting faster but was still very good. I was afraid the corners on the upper frame where the rail assemblies needed a bit more meat were going to gouge me but they were just fine. I still plan to round them off, if for no other reason than aesthetics.
My Walther PPS M2 continues to impress me with reliability and accuracy. Four inch groups at 15yds with this small plastic fantastic are becoming the norm if I take my time and aim. 3 inch at 7yds rapid fire is pretty normal too. Have yet to have a glitch with any ammo I have fed it so far. Definitely a carry piece.
The little Ruger LCP II .22 is a extremely accurate little pistol but the strikes on the primer rim look very light to me. I will dig into it a bit and then send a email to Ruger to see if they plan to do anything about this. Pretty reliable with the recommended CCI Minimags.
My 10-7 continues to produce the love. If I do my part, at 7yds DA only the groups are 2 to 3 inches. SA at 15yds are the same, once again if I do my part. Not bad for a snub.
Hopefully in a couple weeks I will have another report to post.

Today I just sighted a Star F Target in, it was easy enough since the gun grouped well and worked reliably. Done with that, I then did some more serious shooting with three 9 millimeters. I had not shot my old P.08 for almost two years and at the last range session, the P210-4 had the magazine safety still installed and I took it off this morning. I had just shot the Nowlin among several other guns the last time and felt that I did not spend enough time with it.
I shot the Luger with WWB and after five rounds at ten yards to check POI, I moved the target to 25 yards. The results reminded me why I had chosen this gun to participate in club matches. The P210-4 has the original hammer spur and the bites were getting more painful with each shot, which showed in the results, the P210-4 came in with the worst results of the trio but easily kept the shots on the plate.
Then I finally came to the Nowlin and shot it with the inexpensive Geco white box 124 grain ammo made in Hungary. The long slide version really "eats up" the recoil and the gun did not move out during recoil. Operating the slide stop or the safety was unbelievably smooth!!! The trigger is amazing and even through it did not yield substantially better groups than my trusty old P.08, the Nowlin was much more fun to shoot and recoil recovery a whole lot faster. It seemed to not have more recoil than a .22 and was very forgiving when I shot it faster. It landed the rounds in the center of the 9" paper plates without effort. I then got the plate in to 5 yards and double tapped it for a couple of mags and really fell in love with this gun.
I think I have a new favorite gun.

I shot a look at my wife for poking fun at me for buying a pistol in .32 auto

I went down to our 24 hour range last Sunday night at round 10 pm and popped off a couple hundred rounds at paper from my Marlin 60 rifle and my S&W 34 revolver. Very therapeutic.
