Well I got me a new gun. Its a Sig 229 that I got used. I am ususaly wary of getting a used gun, but my step father bought a used gun from this gun seller, and never had a problem (a company not a person). I paid $580 for it and it came with both barrels (the 40 cal and the 357 Sig).
So I finally got to shoot it yesterday and I fell in love with the first shot. I did have a couple of problems with feeding the first round from a new mag wit the 40 cal barrel, but every other round in the mag would feed just fine. I'm not excactly sure what the cause would be other than I'm not letting the slide go back clean enough (hope that makes sense to you all).
As for the actual shooting, man what a gun. It will take me a little to get use to since it is a step up from my S&W 9 mm. My groups were not as good as I would have liked (they never are), but practive will only help. I shot 170 rounds through the 40 cal and 100 rounds through the 357 Sig. And to me the 357SIG was not as accurate as the 40 cal.
Question time: I am getting a Crimson Trace laser grip for it and it come from the factory set for 50 ft. What is a good range to reset the laser to? I was thinking some where in the neighborhood of 21 ft (7 yds).
Thanks for the info...
