40 S W Factory Ammo Test:
We had a very good morning for shooting so my friend came and we both shot some handguns.
We sat up our targets at 15 steps.
The M P 40 does have an adjustable 'rear' sight for windage. That's good because ALL the ammo shot to the L.
We both used the Pistolero
He really liked the Pistolero and I sent him a Pic & link for it at Midway. The new ones are $27.50. I was surprised they were that cheap. I think they're worth it.
The Hornady Critical Defense 165 JHP shot MORE left than the others.
The groups were NOT terrible but NOT as good as I hoped. Certainly good enuff for S D.
The S & B 180 FMJs actually grouped pretty well altho to the L as well.
I have plenty of those and will be doing more testing as I adjust the rear sight. They are the cheapest as well at 13.00/ 50.
I was pleasantly surprised that the MP 40 liked the W W 180 Bonded JHP.
They grouped better than the other 2 brands AND closer to Center, but still Left.
At $ 22.50 per 50 the W W are reasonable.
Since I can shoot in my pasture I'll be doing more as the WX permits.
I will also be shooting solo, and will use a Single Target for Each brand. After adjustment, I HOPE to get some decent groups to post.
I could determine something today shooting off the Pistolero that I didn't notice shooting off hand.
The 40 SW in the MP does have more recoil than my 6906 with 115 JHP handloaded to factory vel. Not surprising and certainly not uncontrolable. (sp)
Still a fun morning.
