The weather finally improved and the wind wasn't too stupid, so I got to shoot outside today for the first time this year. All shooting was done with the flat base 10 round magazines using 95 grain flat point handloads loaded to Winchester White Box flat point velocity out of the gun.
The first thing I did was try a 10 round magazine dump on a USPSA type steel silhouette at 18 yards. I shot it cold (no practice) from an IWB Black Scorpion holster strong side with no cover garment. I was rusty but hit all 10 inside the silhouette in 6.88 seconds. The first shot was a slow 2.79 seconds and the remaining 9 averaged .45 second splits. I did record it using my GoPro, but it was set on WarpSpeed for some reason, and it is very fast. I can post a link if you want to see it for some reason. I did a second run also clean in the mid-fives, but I only had 9 rounds in the magazine. Duh. Not impressive, but not bad for a first 2 runs. I should be able to improve those times substantially.
The next run was on a plate rack at 16 yards from the same holster open carried. The camera ended up working at normal speed this time. The overall 6.74 was slow, with a 2.22 first shot, and the remaining 5 shots averaged about .9. Here it is:

The third drill was a walk back to see how far back I could hit the top 2/3 of a pepper popper type target. I am fairly confident that I can extend the range yards with a little practice. Also, looking at where a lot of my misses hit leads me to believe that a larger USPSA/IDPA target would have resulted in farther distance. Here it is:

Having real sights makes a big difference. The XS Sights and the BG 2.0 make a very usable combination for me. I expect I can do much better after working with the gun at longer distances.
I know we have a lot of better shooters than me on this forum. Post up your BG 2.0 results with whatever sights you prefer.
