Nothing makes me happier than having a new gun to try out and workup loads for. I am not much of a "combat" shooter, I like trying for extreme accuracy. Probably comes from being a rifle person
Last week I traded for a Clark Longslide 1911 that looked to be in great shape.
So I ordered bullets and powder, worked up a couple loads and went to the range this morning.
Other than being soo out of practice I had a ball with this gun.
It is extremely accurate and I could get plenty of 1.5 inch 3 shot groups at 25 yards freehand,
but I could not hold it together for 5 shots. Just to out of practice.
This is one of my targets, not my best grouping of shots today but one of my best 5 shot targets. A few more trips to the range and I will get this tightened up I am sure. Then on to 50 yards.
I am confident the gun will do it.
Oh I do have one excuse for the soso group, I was trying to sight in a scope on a 44 mag at the same time i was shooting this gun and switching back and forth...Not one of my better ideas
25 yards freehand
