Took the Escort out today for a quick range trip. I shot 100rds of 230gr ball out of it with no hick-ups at all. 100% reliable so far. 50rds of Remington ball and 50rds of PPU ball. I had more to shoot through it but, I forgot to loc-tight the grip screws and they came really loose (forgot my allen wrenches at home as well :rolleyes:). Grip review here ------> http://www.cotep.org/forum/showthread.php?p=81714#post81714
I did not take dirty pics because, it really did not even get dirty (outside) with only 100 rounds. So, sorry no pics this time.
This little fireball shoots great. If I did my part, I was shooting 2-3" group at 10yds unsupported. In a six round string, I had two shots through one whole twice and a flyer (still with-in 3" grouping). The sights were dead nuts, although I prefer a 6 O'clock hold. I did not adjust them this time, I can wait till I have more rounds down range to see if POI changes with break-in.
I did have one squib load from the Remington box but, the bullet had enough power to leave the barrel. I did field strip it(after the "poof") and checked just to be sure everything was ok, it was.
All in all, it was a successful hour or so at the range for the Escort. nanner
PS: About a third of the brass ejected straight on my forehead. Seems its throwing the brass straight back over my head sometimes smacking me on my forehead. funny. Will this work itself out or will I need to tune the extractor?
