General Discussion / Re: How much zoom is needed for 100 yards?
« on: April 01, 2014, 03:36:54 PM »
You should try this 50x zoom and tell me how it goes. I brought a 18x scope for $40 at ebay which is execellent for pistol at 25 yards. A little blurry at 50 yards.

General Discussion / Re: Where do I buy brown masking tape?

I've been using regular 1/2" masking tape to cover the bullet pooka it is hard to see compare the cardboard colored paper tape. I tried Fisher that have the high quality dual adhesive kind about $50 each. Online is cheap but shipping is hella expensive.

Yes where do I find 1/2" brown packaging tape? I checked Office Depot then have 6" wide which is too large.

By looking at the calendar, they closed all holidays for the entire year 2014. I dont think is this calendar accurate since it is not a official site. Anyone know if pistol range close today cause I'm planning to head out there.

Yes I'm using a Glock 22 with a 9mm lonewolf conversion barrel. I predict it doesn't need to be re-sighted when changing  barrel from 40sw to 9mm because I believe within 100 yards the trajectory shouldnt drop at all for both, plus the glock 22 sights are fixed.  I could have a flinch problem. Yes the Lawman are TMJ, I will volunteer it next time at setup. I want to try sihloutte this weekend  to test the lawman 9mm (I've never been to the sihloutte before).

I dont think I will shoot 40sw in action- I can't handle the recoil.


I kinda thought about the habit of reverse mag release (index vs thumb) but if it is better then why not. I will try time myself draw gun, insert mag, aim, pretend dry fire, release mag,  holster repeat 6x- this is how I practice. Just keep doing to see if i can do it in less than 19 secs. With the regular mag release, my max time is 19 secs. If there is signification time difference then I will use reverse mag release.

I reversed the mag release.  Now I just need to get use to it and put some strength on my index finger. Someday I will get another 9mm pistol and even permanently customize the grip of the Glock if I'm serious about action shooting.

I was using Speer Lawman 9mm 124 grain at the match and I think the problem was not the ammo. I was aiming at the middle of the steel plate and at 32 feet. Yes, low hit is not reliable, I will remember to aim for the top next time.

Thank you all for great suggestions!!

I went to action shooting today for the second time. I did way better than the last time at 101 class but still stumbled on the magazine release.  I think I rather reverse the magazine release than doing a permanent modification (shaving the backstrap).

PS: I hate steel plates. I was hitting them so many times but they don't fall!. Maybe I need to change my ammo. I'm going to create another tread on ammo question.

I have a Glock 22 gen4. The release button is bigger than gen3 but not big enough. I'm watching youtube on aftermarket magazine releases they are mostly for gen3s. I do see a ZEV tech aftermarket magazine release, it is a little bit bigger but I dont think it is big enough.

I have been going action shooting with a Glock. I have a major problem which I'm unable to release the magazine with my right thumb when griping the gun because I have a small hand. I have to either use the left thumb or move right thumb over to release the magazine, both method will lose sometime. Please advise.

I think I did pretty good today. I realized all my gun sights are good, just my handling is poor. I need to find new techniques to practice.

I just bought a 18x telescope/binocular ($37) that attached to my HTC One phone. The images are amazingly clear.

6" target.

Ruger Mark III 5"- 22lr.

S&W 686 6" - .38 sp

« on: October 06, 2013, 08:39:25 PM »
My friend was unsuccessfully trying to pick up the X-Ring chick.  :worship:

I got 15 boxes (3 cans) of 22lr from SEC, could have gotten a lot more because I went with a lot friends. My conscience tells me not to be greedy and think about the people in 2a.  :shaka:

S&W 686 6" revolver- 50 rds of .38
Ruger Mark III Hunter-100 rds of 22lr
Glock 22 - 20 rds of .40 and 20 rds of 9mm (change barrel)

Two 8" targets.

Bullets were just flying all over the place. Seems like the more I practice the worse I get. Maybe I just need to take a break and reevaluate.

KHSC pistol range 25 yards
Ruger Mark III Hunter 5.5 inches barrel 22lr
Federal Auto Match .22 1200 fps
8" target

The pistol was accurate enough to shooting a quarter 6/10 when I left yesterday. When I shot today, I felt the sight was a little off (a too high to the right). Need to adjust it again. Is the pistol or just the way I'm aiming is not consistent? mmm...
