Shooting my 1900 AE luger with the rear peep sight

[skeeter4206]

Well I did a little cleaning with some 600 grit sandpaper in the chamber helping smooth out the surface. I initially had pitting on the inside of the chamber, which I still did after the cleaning. Oiled up all the mechanical portions of the gun and went shooting again today.


Last time I went shooting I had problems with the spent shells being extracted from the gun. This time around I had no problem. I shot a box of 50 and no problems, except every now and then the last shell would mis-feed. Eventually Im going to order me a new aftermarket magazine.


As for the shooting of the gun with accuracy, It took me awhile just to get it on the paper. Me being a rifle shooter aint really got a whole lot of handgun experience. At 40 feet I finally realize that the gun was shooting high on the paper. I had a 12" x 12" paper targer,which I had to aim at the bottomof the target at this range just to get it on the paper. The grouping was O.K. I guess for not being a handgun shooter. I guess a little practice to figure out how the gun shoots before I get some good target shooting.

I guess maybe next time around Ill try aliitle bit further out and see if the POA will be a little closer to the POI as Im looking thru the sights.


At least the extraction problem stopped for now, so no major repair or barrel change out.


Any suggestions on better shooting with the lugers?
