^^^This (as I've told you before). ALWAYS favor focus on the front sight.
Wear safety glasses. These are the ones I use and they are full lens "readers"...https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KSJNLO0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You may have to buy a couple to figure out which diopter you need or ask your optometrist. Be aware these are listed by diopter rather than magnification.
Release the Kirken *mad flex*
Nice photoshop job changing the grips on the one revolver.
Another 800 rounds again today at the range.
I had another new gun to put through its paces, plus vetting a Browning I've had for a few weeks with a Mark 4 Target I picked up to see which to keep or if keeping both
But, testing out the SW 17 against the Dan Wesson is the best fun.
I kept it simpler today with only SA & only 21 feet on this one.
SW = 11 points & DW = 9 points
But, the 17 had better groups today.
D/A only at 30' with SW 17 coming out ahead again.
SW = 15 point; DW = 10 points
good shootin'!!!.....now don't wear it out before you sell it to me.....
That sure is a nice 17-4 you got. I picked up a 17-2 earlier this year but haven't had as much fun time with mine as you've had with yours. They sure are sweet shooters! I enjoy the range reports and target results, keep having fun!
Outside of now being able to enjoy driving the convertible in the sunshine, the range is my best fun.
I was at the range today for 5 hours (10-3): a new record.
750 rounds today: I'm going to run out of ammo at this rate!
I couldn't shoot the revolvers today since I bought 6 semi-auots guns that I "needed" to shoot.
5 hours that's quite a long time...but great therapy too. Kinda jealous of your range time.
Funny how when you get to shooting certain ones you REALIZE you neglected others.
Run out of ammo?
You can't let that happen, go spend some more enjoyable time at your LGS to replenish and look at all the new toys you DON'T yet have.
Yes to the therapy: it's my escapism, like any good hobby.
Since I have bought a few guns in the past 2-3 weeks, there is my usual time-consuming & round-eating vetting of them.
Yesterday, I served the wife instead of escaping to the range to clean out the dryer vent she had mentioned 3 times this Spring.
It took 4 hours b/c of bad design/placement of dryer in the middle of the house & b/c of two 90* elbows.
gmcttr gave a link for a decent buy on CCI SV last week & I immediately ordered.
I'm replenishing my stash which took a 10% hit this past month.
I tried negotiating in this past few days on another gun, but they were asking exactly what I could buy for new (only saving $21 in taxes), so I passed.
I will pay 75% of new price & sometimes can get a gun for 65% of new if I'm lucky.
I've had to buy new when I wanted something I just couldn't find used anywhere: Glock 44 was the latest b/c I didn't want to wait a year or more & Glocks get the highest used value when selling anyway.
I'll pay 85% (or more) of new when it is a hot item if it comes with holsters and/or extra mags.
There is always a new toy, but in my case I think I'm done with 9mm for now at least b/c I have what I want & have tried dozens of others.
Usually, an older one that I thought was out of my reach b/c of availability & price or something I wasn't even aware of is the toy that gets my eye, like the Uberti Stallion (sold b/c I want the Cattleman w/12 rds.), SW 17 & Beretta 87.
I have even bought 2 guns back that were previously mine (GSG 1911-22 upgraged & Browning Hunter) & more brands that I have had before: Ruger Mark 4 & Sig 365 & CZ Rami & a Kahr CT.
I enjoy the hobby.
So the BIG Dan Wesson wins this time. Hope to have my own 22lr revolver vs 22lr revolver contest when I set my Taurus 96 up with a red dot and shoot it against my Smith 617-1. My Vortex Venom that was on my 617 is now on the way back to Vortex so there is a 2X scope on there for now but for shooting free handed I like the red dot better than the 2X scope.
