Mr. Smith GREAT pictures. Could I ask where you got them? ( maybe out of the same book) The black at 50 m looks to be about one foot diameter on the last one? What do you think?
Although not an expert the three Lugers I have ( a M1906 7.65, a DWM '29 H.P. marked and a BYF 42- all in great shape & matched) I find that they all shoot about 6" low at 50 feet. This with 124 gr Federal on the 9's and Fiocchi on the 7.65) I know the original ammo is probably somewhat of a higher velocity, but not enough for current ammo to be six inches off, no?
They are all incredibly accurate & reliable. When I'm having a good night, 3 in one hole at 50' is not unusual.
I wonder why they made the signts so small. Something a bit larger would not take up much room or snag, but would really help to extract the incredible accuracy of these guns.
Does anyone know what type of sights the Swiss used on their target models, or a source for these? I'd like to get a spare toggle train, put on adj sights and see what these would do. thanks MC
