We haven’t been shooting for a couple of weeks, so today was especially enjoyable. Our gunography consisted of my Glocks (G26 and G30 ) and Damsel’s “Girls,” the Warthog, the S&W 908s and her S&W 686. I also took my ancient Ithaca single-shot 20 gauge shotgun, our 12 gauge security gun and Damsel’s 20 gauge, the latter two being versions of Remington’s 870 series.
We have come to the conclusion that the sights need to be adjusted on the revolver; everything else seemed to hit where we aimed (more or less) but the revolver consistently shot below the target.
The Warthog performed flawlessly for the first 49 rounds. The very last round in the last magazine stuck on its way into the chamber. After clearing the round and re-inserting into the mag, she fired fine. On inspecting, it appeared that the friction spot on top of the barrel was a little dry, possibly contributing to the misfeed.
The Glocks both worked like “Glockwork” for a total of fifty rounds each. I lost count of the .357 rounds through the 686, but it was probably somewhere around fifty as well. The other S&W pistol saw a similar number of rounds and worked just fine.
The old Ithaca only got five rounds of 20 gauge since that was all I brought for it. The Remingtons each saw twenty-five rounds.
This year we’re facing one of the most pivotal Presidential elections in our country’s history and certainly one of the most hotly contested races in modern memory. These next 2 weeks are weeks of “Last Chances” as the election comes even closer on November 4. As all of you know, if you’re not registered you can’t vote. (Some states do allow same-day registration but to stay on the safe side, I’d go ahead and get it done if you haven’t already.)
