Great shooting, Age, Sunday AM I took out a 1944 Remington 1911A1, a 1918 Erfurt, a 1937 S42, an AC 44 P38, a 1944 High Power, a 1943 Radom, a Nazi Browning 1922, a 1950 Tokarev, and for non antiques a Beretta 96 (.40) and a .32 1974 Walther PP. The tightest groups was from the Erfurt using Finnish 1962 milsurp fmj, the worst was the S42. Got a feeling it will be going on down the line before too long. Haven't given up on it yet. I have been reworking the trigger on the BHP and have got the shots from a 20" spread to decent 2" consistent groups. Commom sense tells me to leave it alone but you know how it is when you get bored. The 1911A1 is a straight military model and is as good a shooter as they come. I fired the best consistent groups overall with it. Best trigger is the Radom. If I shoot it after the BHP the first two shots are always unexpected. The P38 is also a good shooter but the rear sight doesn't work well for me. I shot the Tokarev using 1959 East German SP fmj, got the ammo in a local shop for $5.00 for 70 rounds, that gun is by no means to be dismissed as ineffective. I got the Beretta as a non antique reality gun to supplement my AR 15, got it in .40 cause I've never had that caliber before. It would be my best one if I'd quit messing with the others (like the S42)and learn how to shoot it. I'm shooting molybedenum/teflon coated 160g bullets in it (http://www.masterblastersbullets.com/index.html)
and tried them in the 9mms, worked well so I'm going to switch to them for 9mm and .45 too. Cheap as lead but minimal lead buildup.
