Well thought i would take out the bench rest from feather merchant.
RZ10
I scrounged up 150 rounds for the 10mm. It did well It is very tight. I had 3 failures to chamber. The slide stopped right at the base of the mag when moving forward. I think this is because of the newness of the pistol I will work the slide and frame like i did with the RZ-45 heritage.
I also had it fail to lock back the slide on 2 instances. This is what makes me think the frame and slide just need to be worked a bit more. The only prep work i did for this was wipe it down with hoppes, wipe dry and re oil.
Shooting the Ten was a blast, and a pleasure. I was expecting a bit more umph but honesly i found it easier to control in a two hand position than my vbob.
I shot it last during my session, and in truth i was just beat. so other than the accuracy tests i have no real pics.
Accuracy bench rest test
The second thing i did was take my karma gift pistol rest to the range to see what accuracy they had at 50'. The rest was just as wide as the bench they give you to put your pistols on. So when shooting i had to re position the rest about every third shot. Even so, you can see the ability of the pistols is far above my own. All groups are 10 round shot groups.
Frist picture, cci blaser 40grn lead round nose silver box.
Top group is PM7 Frame with Marvel unit two. They called cold range 2 shots in. The range was cold for 20 min, so the wide shots circled are those two. The others are the remaining 8.
The second group is the sig mosquito, cci lead silver box is not the mosquito's favored ammo, but it gives you a good idea.

2nd group Smith 617 used remington Thunderbolt 40 grn lead round nose. The CCI's have a high number of failures in the 617. The high standards used CCI silver box. I shot two groups with the 617, Having never really done a bench rest test, i was learning as i went.

The final 22 group was with my ruger mkIII tacsol barrel and red dot sight. I shot a total of 5 groups with this before all other tests to figure out the best way to do the tests. The picture is of the 5th group at 50' using the cci 40grn silver box.

the 2nd group is here. this is where i noticed the biggest difference in accuracy based on which of the targets i aimed at. This is the head region of the idpa target, the previous two are the lower -1 region.
