First Custom Carry Range Trip

[Jdl2]

Glad you're happy with it, Mike. Congratulations on the new purchase. I wanted desperately to buy a Baer a few years ago but found them so tight I wasn't strong enough to rack the slide
Enjoy. And shoot safe.

Thanks guys I did take the gun to the range today and went through another 200 round, so now I have 400 rounds through it.

I would say that the trigger did get better toward the end of the session. But I did notice that there is a lot of travel on the trigger.

The 200 rounds that I went through today did so without one problem. I did have some operator error in that I would hold the trigger in some not letting the trigger reset then I would try and fire it and of course no joy.

I ran the same magazines that I used last time but I added 3 more mags to the mix. They were Kimber 8 round flush fit mags.



Like I said above absolutely no problems with the gun. What surprises me is that using 4 different types of mags an not one hiccup.

I had another 100 rounds with me but the gun ran so well I did not see any reason to run that ammo just to prove the gun's reliability, plus the wife was getting antsy.

So I brought the gun home for some cleaning.



I pulled it all apart:



The ACW 1911 Takedown Tool makes it a breeze to take the gun down.

I did notice a couple of things on the gun.

The first being that the breach face has some gouging:



I do not believe that this will affect function but being the anal guy that I am it is not sitting well with me.

One other thing that I noticed, but did not take a picture of, was on the bottom of the cutout just above the sear spring slot is cut jagged almost like the machining operation was truncated to soon. Again not a function thing but makes me hesitate and think.

I did adjust the trigger and took a lot of the travel out of the pull and I am much more happy with the resulting snap. I think that I can get a bit more out of it but I want to see how it feels on my next trip to range.

None the less I had a fun shooting the gun and will enjoy so in the future.

Nice post Mike! Thanks!!!

Thanks guys.

The worst of the trip is that as I was walking out the door my grandson asked if I would open up some dvd's that we had just bought him at Sam's Club. I ended up getting one deep paper cut across the the pad of my shoot'n finger.

The finger hurt like heck toward the end of the shooting session.

I am really liking this gun in that it really has a nice balance to it.

Good deal Mike!!

Now you know good and well that you cannot say no to your grandson!!! Within reason of course!!
