    Swiss pistols range report

    I went to the local club yesterday evening in order to try out the two Swiss Lugers I presented and a few other Swiss hardware.

    Unfortunately the 25 m lane was blocked for the yearly Swiss military and field shooting competitions, so I went to the 50 meters range, oh well, who doesn’t like a challenge.

    I had already completed the military and field shooting at my other club end June. It went ok, I achieved the same score as last year on the military shooting, 20 rds, which gets me a distinction; but quite less on the field shooting, 18 rds, where I achieved 178 last year, still good for a medal, still to come.

    I used the Sig P210-6 with adjustable sights this time, in the previous years I used my 1923 Swiss Luger









    So off the to 50 meters lane

    Five shots with my friend’s black 06/29, it shot high and a little left so I had to aim at the 7 circle underneath



    First 5 shots with my new red 06/29



    Next five, getting tighter



    Next four with three miracle shots (the old Swiss ordnance ammo boxes contain 24 rds, for three mags of 8 shots)



    Then I tried a few competition practice 10 shot strings, the best one yielding 88/100. Needless to say I am super happy with this acquisition



    I also tried a cheap ex Lausanne Police 1977 P220 I bought with the Luger. It shot surprisingly well



    Shot my 1949 P49 (210-1)



    And the P49 (210-2) I had chromed



    A great evening in a very nice setting with perfect weather

    That looks like a ton of fun! Those 50m groups are great, especially with a field gun and mil ammo. Shame this isn't as prevalent stateside.
    GET IN YOUR BUBBLE!
