Had some time today and took an overdue trip to the range. Headed to Horst and Mccan (I know some of you don't like them but I have not had any issues) with my old 4013 and 4566 in tow. Wanted to give them a run since they are my two "most used" ones.
Started with my 4013. Its an old gun with some wear and tear I got used from GB, but it shoots straight and is very comfortable. Don't really care about the whole 40 vs whatever, I shoot this one well and am confident with it. Shot about 100 rounds through it, actually had a few failures, never happened before, was using WWB TMJ and did see some issues with the casings. 4013 shoot well as always, all in the X at 7 yards and all in the 9 and in but one at 15 yards.
Went to my 4566 and was reminded why I love this pistol. Shoots so smooth and even more accurate. Wish it was not as heavy or it would be carried more often. I actually took a pic of this one:
Center mass at 7 yards head shots at 15 yards. 25 rounds in each.
Went back to the 40 and man it felt different after the 45. Recoil is all relative.
Might send the 4013 out to smith and wesson for a checkup, it is an old guy and did feel a bit funny today. Got a new click about halfway through the trigger pull, but still shoots fine.
While I was there and feeling frisky I tried out the Mossberg 500 12 gauge. Haven't shot a shotgun in ages, forgot the kick they had. Made that "big" 45 feel like a friggin spitball. Glad I tried it out as I am thinking about getting one, maybe..............
Came home and remembered why I don't shoot often, the cleaning began
