Sig 220 Carry Equinox Range Report

[bcleven]

I did a little shooting this past weekend and just getting around to posting it here. This was my second time out with her. To be completely honest I was too embarrassed the first time out to post...lol This time was MUCH better! My first time out I was really disappointed with myself. I knew I wasn't doing this gun any justice. I still have a lot of work to do but here it is...

8 rounds @ 10 Yrds. 230 gr. FMJ
I'm shooting a little low/right consistently. Open to hearing any input that may put me closer to center...

you should give me the gun

have you tried different kinds of ammo? check finger position on the trigger.

You could have someone watch you shoot or film yourself so you can see if you are pulling or jumping or anything.


That's really a sweet pistol. I get jealous everytime I see one.

I can't even see the target behind THAT BEAUTIFUL GUN.

Thanks for the offer Bad V8 but I don't see how giving you my gun will make me a better shot.

I used some of my dads 180 grain reloads to start with. I couldn't hit anything but I used it to get a little more comfortable with the feel of the gun and the trigger pull. When I went stricktly to the 230 FMJ I started shooting much better. I've got about 60 rounds down the pipe now.

Next time I get up to Fort Fun I'll get hold of you. If you happen to be up there maybe we can do some shooting and you can give me some pointers.

Aim high and to the left. Sweet gun!!

My cousin has that exact gun, have you had any stove pipes out of it by chance?

 

[turnandshoot4]

Does that have something to do with your trigger pull? I think that is where the rounds hit when you flinch.

Are you new to .45? I tend to do that with .40. So bad that I pretty much gave up the caliber until I can reload a lighter round.

This helped me a lot.

Thanks Steeler that is a cool little job aid

I had one in about the first 10 rounds using a lighter reload. I just attributed it to a bit of a break in period. I haven't had any trouble since.

I like this. Think I'll print it out and keep it with me when I shoot. My first time out I was all over the place, anticipating the shot and jerking all over the place. I felt much more confident and relaxed this time out making me think this target map may be right on the money. This thing has a very long trigger pull. The only other .45 I've shot is a Colt 1911 govt model with a bunch of work done to it. VERY different feel...

Where did you go shooting? I'm only about 5 miles south of Whiteland. Let me know, I can watch to see if you are flinching or squeezing the entire gun.

Yea well keep an eye on it, This particular gun is known for haveing some extractor issues. great gun just firgured I'd mention it, if it dose present any problem, Sig took care of my cousin very well
note" me and my cousin took this exact gun out shooting, this is before my G/F had her sig and she was shooting my beretta, me and the Cuz were shooting okay but she picked up that 220 and out shot us both with it I about tucked my head between my legs. She's like 5'1 a buck10 and her only complaint about shooting the .45 was how fast she could reset for the next shot due to the recoil.
