Re: Conventional Pistol 2nd Challenge
Centerfire for September, I score it as 274-5. I love shooting this pistol but I really jerk the trigger in rapid with iron sights.

45 score for September, 283-7. That is a good score for me and I am happy with a total for the 3-gun at 848-23.

Very good shooting! You set the bar very high for others.
I don't recognize your .22, what is it?
I'm told the S&W Model 52 has an very unforgiving trigger. I've never had the oppurtunity to shoot one myself. I always used my .45 for centerfire except when I was just starting and used a K-38 Masterpiece.
The stocks on your .22 & .45 look interesting also. I can't make up my mind if they might be from Randall Fung or Arnie Vitarbo.

The 22 is a 208 Hammerli with a Rink grip.
This centerfire S&W is a 952 (9mm). They were modeled after the 52 and come out of the performance center. I also have a 52. They are accurate and, I agree with you, they are unforgiving. IMHO that is due to a light front and a slow round, 38 Special WC. The 952 I think is more forgiving because of a little more front end mass and the 9mm is faster getting it out of the barrel quicker.
The 45 grip is actually a homemade grip that I bought at a gun show for around $20 and they fit me really well. Best $20 I have ever spent! :)
Thanks again for doing this fun match.
Re: Conventional Pistol 2nd Challenge
Great equipment! I haven't seen a 208 in 20 or more years.
Re: Conventional Pistol 2nd Challenge
C'mon guys it's half past September and I've only got one entrant.
Saleen did a fine job on his timed and rapid fire, but there's room in slow fire.
Give it a try!
