Went to the range today, brought several WWII guns

1944 Browning High Power, 1918 Erfurt P08 (one of Ted's first restorations), 1942 VIS 35 Radom, 1944 BYF P38, and a 1944 Remington 1911A1.
Target distance was 30'. I was using 3x5" index cards with a sticky for targets.

To set a baseline for my shooting I took my CZ P01Tactical. Its the most accurate hand gun I have. Bullets are 124g lrn or 124g plated.

I started with the CZ. Had no problem keeping 5 round groups on the card.

Next was the P38.

Not at all as easy

VIS 35 Radom followed

Browning High Power

P08

1911A1

P08 was the most accurate, next the 1911A1. Worst was the BHP. Trigger is really bad. I had no stoppages of any type. Granted the sights aren't modern, they are old and not as accurate but every one would have done their job.
