    More Swiss shooting

    Been busy shooting here in Switzerland, while the season is still nice. End of fall and winter is all about indoor shooting.

    Saturday a few friends from our shooting club and I were invited to a shooting challenge organised by the shooting society of the Lausanne police corps (Lausanne being a city in Switzerland).

    5 warm up shots (2&3) and then 4 X 5 shots in 5 minutes, 50, 40 and 30 seconds on the ISSF speed target at 25 meters for a total max of 200 points (warm up shots being used in case of a tie)

    My weapon of choice in the ordnance division is my trusty Sig P210-1 in 7.65 mm parabellum (.30 Luger). Note the vintage ammo, still accurate.



    2 warm up shots, great



    3 warm up shots, still ok



    Time to load up for the scoring shots



    1st pass, ouch



    2nd pass, better



    3rd pass, agonisingly missing the 10



    Last pass, finally a nice one



    Total score of 181 (the secretary struggles with additions)





    Yesterday I went to another nice shooting range for some rifle and pistol practice

    300 meters open sights with a milsurp Sig 510-1 (StGw 90). EDIT 550-1, not 510-1

    I am on lane 7, they closed one out of two lanes for social distancing / Covid

    The contraption on the side is a brass deflector



    A couple of 80/100





    Then I fiddled with sight adjustment a bit

    And finally turned in a decent score despite a 6 and a 7

    Finally some 25 meters pistol practice next door

    CZ 75

    I’ve been struggling a bit with this pistol so I asked the gunsmith to improve the trigger a bit, he deburred some parts and it improved it quite a bit.





    Sig P220 (ex Lausanne police)





    Colt Mk IV 9mm Luger





    Milsurp Waffenfabrik Parabellum 06/29





    Milsurp Sig P49 (210-2)

    LOVE the old Sigs. I've been using a P220 or P226 since the 80s.

    Thanks for sharing! I too am a fan of the older SIGs. Alas, the 228 is my last one. Never selling it! The rifle, I always wanted one, but never could come up with the $$$

    I'm very jealous of the Sig 210s you are able to acquire there for half as much or less than here. Lausanne is a beautiful city - I toured the Olympics museum there.

    Fascinating post. That you for sharing
