Believe It Or Not... Range Report

Dwight Gruber · 07-21-2002, 11:45 PM

Um, hi, Dwight here...I shoot an S/42, a 1917 Artillery, and a 5" Tom Heller rebarrel rgularly, I have shot my byf41 and 1917 Navy once, I shoot a Radom on occasion. I'm not scientific abut the whole thing, I just buy the cheap, bulk-pack 115-grain FMJ from Wal-Mart and pump it through these guns 200-300 rounds at a session with no malfunctions (I shoot CCI Blazer occasionally, also no malfunctions). I'm not sure I really have anything particularly wise or enlightening to say on the subject.

I will note, however, that I went through several extended range sessions exploring all my magazine/pistol combinations, and as a result have retired all my original Luger magazines (except for my fxo) from active shooting. I experienced misfeeding problems with most of the original combinations, and now shoot with modern aftermarket magazines exclusively save for the fxo.
