Range Report #2

[SFC_E7]

Okay I did it and you may laugh and get on to me about it but I bought an EEA Tanfoglio in 9mm. I ordered it on Thursday last week and it arrived on Friday.

First thing I did was tear it down as I wanted to see how it worked, and get all that shipping oil cleaned off. I do like the way it disassembles and reassembles about as smooth as my Sigs.

Saturday Morning headed to the Range with 200 rounds, and one hicup and this baby was toast, I ran this firearm through every test I could think of to include wimp wrist with the first 150 rounds, okay it passed no hicups, now let's just see how accurate this 9mm really is, First ten shots did not count as I was still in my testing mode and they were all grouped low and to the left. Next ten were center just to the left of the X-Ring, reloaded another ten and held the firearm just to the right of the X-Ring they were grouped just about in the X-Ring, moved a little more and put ten in the X-Ring. I knew right then either my eye sight was going bad or I have to have the sights moved over. I want to shoot a couple of hundred more rounds before I make that decision as the Firearm is new and may need to be broke in a little more, or better yet in needs me to be accustom to the feel of the Clone of a CZ. All in all I like the firearm and I believe it will make a good carry gun in time.

Sorry Rew did not mean to steal your thunder, but at the same time I did not want to distract from your Range Report.

none at all. It seems we both need to get these pistols to fit us. They are fun little toys.;)

You have that right, with my big paws I need something a little bigger to grasp on to.

Went back to range this morning with selected firearms in bag, a Sig P220 45 ACP, and a Witness 9mm and a Sig P245 next to my side.

I had a couple of hundred of 230 grain Speer Lawman, and 50 PMC 147 gr 9mm.

Targets were T-3's at 21 feet

All shooting was done with one hand

I shot 50 rounds the P220 and called it quits as the Sig was hard to control and keep on the target, but I did manage to hit the paper it just looked like Swiss Cheese .

The 9mm, well just's say this was not my day today as the 9mm kept flipping up on every shot I took, again I hit the paper just never hit the center of the target.

I was ready to pack it in when I thought I really need to shoot my carry firearm or maybe I could just throw it at the target and most likely get a better score. Loaded up the P245 with 230 gr Speer Lawman, sent the new target out to 21 foot mark and fired the first six rounds dead center, well this is a good time to go home while I'm on the winning side. I finished shooting the 150 rounds from the P245, and that 4" Orange Center on the T-3 was gone. It felt so good I grabbed another target and sent it out to the 21 foot mark, time to get serious now, loaded up mags with my Winchester 185 gr Silvertips as I needed to rotate ammo any how. I shot all five mags and again the center disappeared, I loved it but my right arm was ready to fall off, and I must admit towards the last 70 or so rounds I was doing all I could to hold the P245 straight out in front of me. I sure hope I never get into any serious fire-fights, in fact I'm thinking very seriously of carrying Winchester 230 gr SXT's since the Silvertips are all 185gr.

Then I came home and cleaned three firearms in about two and half hours, cleaned up and passed out for about an hour or so, but I loved it, even with the P220 and 9mm.

From now on the P245 is all I will take
