A Day At the Range

My brother came up to visit from Mayport Naval Station this weekend and we decided to go shooting at a local indoor range. We took a Colt Commander, Wilson CQB, Ruger SR1911, Dan Wesson Panther, and Ruger LC9. My brother also had a crazy itch to shot "something big" (his words), so we used the rental Desert Eagle .44 mag.

It was enjoyable, especially since this is the first time I shot the Panther since getting it refinished and getting a trigger job done, not to mention just getting to shoot with my Bubba. That Panther now has a better trigger than the Wilson, which is quite a feat.

This is also the first trial of the SR1911. It performed quite well and seems to be a great pistol in the price range. The trigger could use some work, but in all fairness, had I not had the Panther and CQB it probably would've seemed much better.

So, here's the damage:

Dan Wesson Panther

SR1911

CQB

LC9(actually 18 feet, not inches.....)

Nice shooting Larry. How did they shoot when you took them out of the Ransom? Nice report and pictures.

No plans to trade any right now NV. But, the Ruger would be the first to go just because it is the least valuable.

, what's a ransom rest?

To be honest, that 7 round shot group with the CQB is probably the best grouping of my life.

Dang Larry, you're shooting that Wilson "lights out"! That's a heck of a group with the LC9 too. Only 6' closer than the SR1911 but just as good of a group with a considerably shorter barrel and smaller overall pistol. Well done.
