    I put a wilson combat spring kit in the sr1911 and the pull is down to 1.5 lbs. 50 rounds at 12 yards

    Gunz are icky.
    Today was a real peach of a range trip
    Took some 38spl reloads. There is some weird stuff going on with this batch.
    Most of them fire normally. Then i get a squib. Primer pops but the powder charge doesn’t. Same cases, primers, powder, bullet.
    Got a bullet stuck in the barrel. No biggie. Brass rod and a small hammer tapped it right out.
    I can’t figure out why on the squibs. Just have to shoot’em up and reload them anew.
    Also tried a new set of Altamont grips. Darn things were too thick on the front of the left grip to allow extraction. Spent a little while grinding down the top edge of the left grip.
    It’s working now. I’ll try it with live fire before doing the final polishing.

    Went to the range midday and took all my 9mms to give them a go. It's been too long for some of them since their last workout.

    Was a nice spring day... had range to myself. Shot the pistols at 10yds and the Draco Nak9 and Keltec sub2000 at 25yds

    Had a blast and not one failure... shot mostly bulk 115gr fmj but a few rounds of SD ammo in a couple of them

    Ruger Security 9
    Kimber Micro 9
    Diamondback DB9
    Bul Armory 1911
    Springfield Armory EDC9
    IWI Masada

    KelTec SUB2000
    Draco NAK9

    Observations-

    -The full size 1911 was the most enjoyable to shoot, best trigger and handled recoil the best

    - The Leupold DP Pro red dot on the Masada makes this an easy gun to shoot

    - The CT laser grip on the Kimber Micro 9 nightfall works great... just point and shoot... no aiming required... I have it dialed in

    Went yesterday afterwork I just replaced the extractor after it broke and went for T&E and got around to practicing controlled pairs at 20ish yards from concealment.

    52 rounds in pressed mag release, mag dropped and so did mag release. P365 axg legion is a pos this is just my sample size of one.
