Springfield XD .40 S&W

Put 30 rounds through it right after buying it. First time I've ever shot anything larger than a .22. Fun, fun, fun!! I'm shooting low, but otherwise not bad (IMO) for my first time. I think I might be anticipating the recoil causing the low grouping, but that's just a guess.

Load up a few dummy rounds  in the magazine with the real bullets. If you are flinching you will notice on the dummies and it will get you to correct it.

Looks like a nice one Tony. Hey If you ever want to go out shooting let me know. I will let you shoot anything in my collection. Including my Desert Eagle, Tommy Gun and AR15.

Tommy Gun?!  Shocked  For real?

Thanks! I would be interested to know where there might be some good places to shoot in Fort Wayne.

One of my shooting and riding buds bought one of those a month ago. I shoot it every time we meet for shooting and breakfast. They are really nice firearms. Accurate and his has never jammed to my knowledge. The mag loading tool is a must use for me. Read the manual to make sure but I think they are OK to dry fire without snap caps too.

I did the snap cap mix with real rounds deal in a 15 round mag yesterday, as I too was shooting low with my Glock 19.  Turns out that when I pulled the trigger, I pulled the front of the gun down.  Once I concentrated on pulling it straight back, the placement improved.

Use it on my students all the time, does work. It is also a good method to teach them what to do it the gun misfires, the old tap and rack drill.

Yes I have a Tommy gun. I belong to the Ft Wayne Rifle and Revolver club. I dont shoot as much as I would like but I try to get out every so often. Drop me a line Tony. You should have my E-mail address. If not let me know.
