Thanks timmy! - it gun sure feels like a boss - feels like the Beretta 92FS - solid and really well built - quality oozes from every pore!timmy wrote:That is a nice looking pistol, CK. Bon appetit, and when you finish with your well-deserved celebratory meal, please share some photos of the pistol's turn at the table, devouring some of that Blazer fare. The pistol looks good! Congratulations.
I am pretty rared up to go and try it out on the range...and thence the reports. I can guess that the pistol has a long and heavy D/A Pull.Type of Ammo: Blazer, 9mm Luger, 115 Gr. FMJ - $16 for 50 Rnds
Distance: 5 Yd, 10 Yd
Stance: Upright, two handed
Fire rate: Steady
There is a bit of a story re the ammo; I had originally picked up with the pistol some Ukranian Ammo (LCW, Brass case, Bimetallic Jacket, 124 Gr. - said to be lead core - but even the very tip, reacted to a magnet). The LCW was $14 per 50 Rnds but the tip jumped at a magnet and the indoor range that I am a member of would not allow it. I went back to the store and exchanged the lot. The Blazer that I have now is Alu case and the bullet is non magnetic.

The next thing I realized - how hard it is to load up new magazines, with stiff springs. After banging up my thumb and a few fingers, I went out and picked up an Universal UpLula Mag Loader. What a difference that makes!

Finally I was ready to head out to the range. First I set up a target at 5 Yds. The pistol seems to be firing about 3 to 5 inches too low, three flyers in the first round. I was a bit disappointed by the out of the box accuracy of the Girsan.
Target No. 1
I continued to keep my POA on the bull on the next target – still shooting too low.
Target No. 2
I then moved the next two targets to 10 Yds and commenced blasting away, tried a faster rate of fire just to get a feel of the new gun.
Target No. 3
Target No.4 (I ran out of Targets)
It crossed my mind again that the gun felt good, of solid construction, I could feel the quality, fit and crisp action. The grip was alright, but I guess I would have preferred something slightly slimmer. The double stack magazine does make the grip a little bulkier. The trigger pull felt long in D/A, it improved somewhat in S/A.
Overall, a thrilling experience for a first outing but a mite disappointing result on the score. I must figure out how to get perhaps a taller rear sight – or something.
+1 xl_target It is encouraging that companies like Tata Power and Bharat Forge have developed artillery guns - maybe there is still some hope!
