Default This Pony Runs.

I posted a pic of my new (slightly used) XSE Commander over the weekend and was asked about a Range Report. Well I finally got a chance to go the range today so here goes:

I took 100 rnds of Blazer Brass, 25 rnds of PDX-1, and 8 odd rounds of Hydor-Shock 230 grain I had in a magazine. The Commander cycled all of them without a hiccup.

When I got it the Trigger had a fair amount of creep. Not surprising being a Series 80 gun. So Sunday a went to work on the sear and other internals with my Ed Brown sear jig and a hard Arkansas stone. Cleaned it up so that now it has a very crisp release at just over 4 lbs.

Accuracy: Even with my poor technique I was able to pretty consistently put 5 rounds inside a 2 inch circle at 10 yards. My VZ Grips came in yesterday too so here is another pic.

It's a Keeper!

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
