Went to the range today to bust a few caps and test my reloads.
Shooting my 1911, I was a bit disappointed. I was holding "dead on" as they say with the target sitting atop my sight picture, BUT I was hitting way low. I was just about to blame my reloads or thinking I need to adjust the sights somehow when one of the range officers stopped by my lane to chat. I had him shoot a mag to see if it was just me. Well...he put most of them in the black. SO I am doing SOMETHING wrong. Maybe my grip or something????
After that, I broke out my Super Blackhawk and tried some lightly loaded 44 mags. After the first shot flyer, EVERY other round went into the black. After a couple of cylinders the target was just "ate up" in the bullseye. SOoooo then I tried some full power loads that I am working on with some Nosler Partitions that I acquired. Same results...just a lot more flash and bang....many holes where they were supposed to be.
Any of you 1911 guys gots any ideas on what I'm doing wrong with that unit? Guess I need to start carrying the Ruger SBH for my CCW rig.
