Had the range to myself today, was absolutely gorgeous day today.
Took my Beretta M9, Glock 21, and Ruger 3" SP101.
Also had my LMT carbine.
Shot about 200 rounds thru the M9, and I am just still so impressed with this pistol. Has been absolutely 100% reliable with everything Ive shot thru it for now over 5000 rounds. And with 115gr and 124+P gr ammo is laser accurate. I had replaced the recoil springs in both semi's, as usual with heavier than factory springs. And as usual went out check out reliability of both. The G21 did fine, one mag did give me 3 FTF's, so it comes out of the stack to be resprung.
After shooting over 100 rounds thru the M9, I did a 6 mag dump, just to see what would happen,and the damn thing fed like a champ and I flat ate up a zombie target. I know the M9 is either a love hate, but I would trust my life to this one every time. I CC it from time to time with 124gr+P HST federals.
The Ruger SP101 is a true delight to shoot. Had some WRIST BREAKERS I wanted to try, some hot 125 JSP's, and boy howdy, you damn sure know when you fire these baby's! I carry +p .38's in it, as they are very accurate. The LMT now has 880 rounds of M193 & M855. Has been 100% reliable so far. Very accurate too. I run a Sprinco "red" recoil spring, and the black Spikes buffer, and it calmed it down a lot from the way it was from the factory. Ill run another 1000 thru it before I pronounce it GTG. Oh, also shot some 40gr. ballistic tip ammo reloads and at 25yards got a 6 shot thunbnail group again! Thats twice now, and it even fed and cycled them!
Hadnt been able to get much trigger time in for about 2 months, was trying to get permanent hired at a new job. I got it, so now maybe I can get out a bit more. I really want to wring out the LMT more, its a fun rifle, everyone always wants to shoot it.
Just thankful that, as ****ed up as things are in this country, I can get out, ride around with a truck full of guns and ammo, go shoot, and have a peaceful day like today.
