I'm Speechless - Range Report on SIG P226SCT

cupsz71 · October 27th, 2009, 09:39 AM

Morning all!

I had a chance to last night to head out to our local indoor range and give my new SIG P226SCT a run through the paces:

And to say I'm IMPRESSED...is an understatement and I wanted to share.

It performed flawless.

I started at 20yrds on the bench sled and discovered after 3rnds that it was a "point of aim" shooter...NOT a 6°Clock hold shooter. NOTE the 3 lower "fly'rs" :

BENCH SLED /20rnds@ 20YRDS:

After completing that round by punching 17 more into the center I reset my target and gave it a try free-handed at 20yrds:

STANDING 2 HANDED MOD-WEAVER/30rnds @20yrds

Ummmmm..............YEA I need a little work at that range.

In my own defense - there was ALOT of handgrip shifting to get a "feel" for the SIG and ALOT of trigger jerking.

The SIG has a very short trigger that took some getting used to.
and yea poor lighting......OK MOVING ON.......
I then felt that I needed to seriously redeem myself.... so I re-set my target and moved it up to 10yrds and shot 30rnds free-hand:

STANDING 2 HANDED MOD-WEAVER HOLD/30rnds@ 10YRDS:

.....hmmmm....that's more like it!
I was on a roll & it would have be almost perfect if I hadn't let 3 out of 4 of my last shots turn into"fly'rs" - DOUGH!

My conclusion.....I LUV THIS GUN! And next to my XD9sc....it's definately my best shooter!

Thanks all for letting me share!

Glad you like it! The Sig platform is hard to beat and I have yet to see one that wasn't accurate.

Thanks for the report. Don't beat yourself up over the flyers. You were just getting tired, or, at least that is what I tell people when it happens to me!

You're wrong!!!

Flyers are caused by "Bad Primers". I think I've seen it on the internet so it must be true.

You SIG people are really starting to sway me! Time to save my pennies, I guess.

Congrats on the new Sig...

Sounds like you're already afflicted with the Signess...

I'm gonna have to remember this one... "Flyers are caused by bad primers"
