Default Pulled Trigger

My 10mm is exceptional. Last week, after learning CTD was shipping firearms again, I went to the site on a whim. Not only was the 10 still $599, but when I dropped it in my cart to investigate actual cost to purchase (expecting they'd be gouging on shipping), I learned they were also offering free shipping.

20 minutes of battle with myself later, my "Right Now" emerged victorious. It showed up last Tuesday (ordered Sunday) and I picked it up Friday.

In the week of wait, I only managed to find SD ammo and aluminum case locally. Bought a box of the SD. I get it to the range tomorrow, but I broke down before work and fired 1 off at my most hated tree (spits junk into my pool year round, it's ugly, and no matter how far back it's pruned It touches my roof again inside 3 months - those were my excuses.

So, from approx 7 yards, POI=POA. And she cycled SD Ammo 1/1. I gave up on finding ammo, so this morning, I loaded up 50 rounds 180 gn Plated FPRN over 11.4 gn Accurate #7 (5% off max from my recipe) which I will test tomorrow.

Had one scare when I used the Sonic Cleaner to clear off the shipping preservative. One 8 minute cycle turned fresh water/cascade mix BLACK. Evidently the Park was thick enough to shed a layer, cause the Pistol is gorgeous following a Balistol soak.

Dirty gun porn tomorrow.

Congrats on your purchase. Have fun shooting it. Personally I wouldn't buy it from CDT. Sounds like a good deal though. I am real interested to hear how she feeds.

Nice find, but I agree on CTD; no purchases there by me.

Just messing with ya...congrats!

Even though I probably know the answer already, given the price you stated, but I'm guessing RIA?? Then again, it could be a Charles Daly, Llama...etc.
