<strong>shooting in the lane next to two of Louisiana's finest State Police yesterday. I always take a magic marker, make six circles about 4" in diameter on the back of target papers. They're shooting mansize targets and grouping mansize groups. I'm 8 rounds in one 4" groups at 25 yrds, then another, and another and it's an off day, but all are getting in the circles. One fine officer leans over to see what super duper target pistol I'm using and doesn't recognize, nor know, that what I've got there is a c96/16 courtesy of LugerDoc and a blackwidow care of MauserLuger. With shoulder stock, the c96/16 is printing 1 hole groups of 10 rounds each, the black widow is printing 2" to 3" groups of 8 rounds each offhand. These are not my every day shooters... I think they will be annual events. When I got out my sig226 and HK Tactical, then I got down to "bidness". Damn, I never thought I would consider law enforcement "kids", but neither had ever seen a "Luger in person" and neither knew what a "broom" was. What is this next generation coming to? and I'm only 40...
The best group I ever shot? Certainly not with a luger, sights suck and strain my poor eyes. 200 yards. Colt 1911A1 Govt. Clark Custom "hardball" circa 1968, Bomar sites. 3" group of 5 on a 6" steel plate after 2 ranging shots. "pow" one mississippi, "ping". "pow" one mississippi "ping"...</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Dear triggger643
The Luger's rear sight is just like the original military sight on a Mauser rifle. They are for very fine, and thus, accurate, shooting. I must admit that my 47 year old eyes have to work at it a bit, but with glasses for distance, I'm still fine.
