Given recent events, there was more of a rationale to get to the range and get better.
Met up with Tosh at the range. It was in the low 30s and breezy,
I had just put a new suppressor on the PS90 , so I took it to the range and got some trigger time in.
It's a Polonium K, replacing the SilencerCo Hybrid 46 that is going to be used on another rifle.
The Polonium K is both thinner and smaller than the 46 and took only two days of ATFE processing from start to finish (compared to the 46's over a year to get approved) and no tax. Thank you President Trump!
It looks much better on the PS90 than the 46, and given the suppressor bore size, suppresses better than the 46.
I'm quite happy with it, makes the P390 package footprint even smaller, and the PS90 keeps running like a champ.
After some rifle and PDW fun we got on to practice with pistols.
I ran the Walther PDP, and it range through all the drills without any issues.
All drills were done from concealment and given the weather we had on rather heavy sweatshirts for the drills.
We started with the single shot from concealment to the 7 yard A-zone drill.
I definitely had some rust to shake off. I was getting hits in around 1.5-1.4 seconds once I settled in, with some much higher times as well.
We then did the 3&2 drill and I did better with that getting under 3 seconds pretty regularly and some runs under 2.5 which was good.
Then on to Bill Drills. I was able to get under 3.0 seconds which was good, and I'm still chasing the sub 2 second time - from afar.
For the final drill, the one shot from concealment to an A-Zone at 25 yards we ended with a bang. My best times were two at 1.60 seconds, and generally I was around 1.78-1.70 on average, which was pretty happy-making for me.
Tosh by comparison was averaging a fast 1.65, and had a couple at 1.6, and one at a blazing fast 1.35 seconds which is fantastic. The man can shoot.
A most challenging bit of practice, and it just points out I've got lots to work on to improve.
