Good time at the range today

[freddie]

Shot four recently acquired handguns today: Ruger Mark III target, Ruger Vaquero 357M, Taurus 1911 45 ACP and Smith and Wesson 625JM 45 ACP.

All four guns performed well - only 50 rounds through each ( I shout only five rounds at a time). Checked spent brass - all handguns showed center primer hits.

I was surprised by the S&W625 - very easy to shoot and very accurate - kept up easily with the 1911. Would make a good beside gun - but I'll probably stick with my Glock 22. I became more accurate with it when I tried gripping it as high as possible, with my wrist slightly tilted down.

Taurus 1911 ran flawless/good groupings - really spit out the shell casings a long ways to the side.

I shot the Vaquero less accurate than any of the others - maybe because I only shot 38 specials, maybe it is just me and or maybe because I couldn't get comfortable with the grip. My shots were all over the place - couldn't group the five shots near each other - no problem with the other three guns.

Vaquero was purchased used - don't know how many rounds - but suspect allot, since it is several years old.

Nice thing about the revolvers - easy brass recovery Bad thing about revolvers - man they are filthy.

The best thing though, they don't jam!

With really heavy loads the bullets can slip and lock things up.

When you clean the Vaquero, measure the mouths on the cylinder with a caliper. Some of them may be off, it's been known to happen.

And next time you shoot it, use one hand, not two.
