So like my brief update said I wasn’t too pleased with the adjustability of the sight.
One major mistake I made was in not bringing my rest, I’m in the middle of a move so it is packed up, so I ended up trying to use the roughly 4x4x6 sandbag the range provided, which had to be put on a tupperware box of my 38 reloads and a couple 38 boxes to get sufficient elevation, needless to say less than ideal. A lot is probably the monkey pulling the trigger, I haven’t shot much the last few months beside dry firing my 442 every other day or so.
I got it on the paper with CCI standard velocity, then had a lot of fun trying to zero on a black target with black sights. Eventually I got there, and after taking a break from firing the J frame did my rough ammo test. All fired at 23 yards (the 25 yard range is a little short at this place) single action off the rest, 15 rds each. Might be a 38 hole in a couple because I was using the little spots on a large target. The diamonds and circles are 1.5” and the black square is 1”.
CCI Standard Velocity to kick it off:
Next some SK Standard Plus:
Not having enough of weird primer funk, some Eley Club:
Federal 711B:
Some Norma Tac 22 (rebranded RWS ammo of some kind):
At this point, with close to 200 rds fired, ejection was becoming difficult. Last I fired 15 or so of the CCI double action, at about a one second cadence at 10 yards:
Not awesome but considering how badly the trigger stacks I’m not unhappy.
For a sub $200 gun I’m happy with the results. It looks like it will be an ok close range plinker, maybe I can get a better zero off my rest in a month or so, not sure it would do too well in the local 4” 25 yd steel plate match.
For rimfire challenge it should be GTG with some sight paint and a dump pouch full of speedloaders
I’m gonna get it wiped down, cylinder cleaned, and some paint on the front sight. I will get to go plinking a couple times next week so I’ll report how that goes.
