    Good day at the range - but a problem...

    Thought I would just drop a little post and say how my day at Target Masters Milpitas went on my day off.

    Sold some stuff to another Calgunner who was there and picked it up (Thanks Ced).

    Went in, was a small line. Happened to get A5 lane, guess they are about the same. Started out with my SigPro 2009. I considered this my old trusty pistol, but today it would keep locking up just about after every round fired, kind of like it was empty. Don't know what was going on, will have to check later. Decided to try out my new Sig 1911 TTT .45. one word. WOW! Don't know if its the gun, my first attempt at .45 ACP reloads, or me, but the gun is super accurate and a joy to shoot. Used Remington 230gr Golden Saber bullets and 4.9-5.3gr of W231 powder with Federal 150 primers. I am in love with this pistol. My last pistol of the day was my very first pistol, way back in the day (1996) H&K USP .40SW that came with 2 hi-caps. As always, nice and accurate. I would say equal to the Sig, but just a little different. At any rate, it was a fun day. Also found out they no longer allow anything bigger than .44 being shot there. No more fun with my 500SW Magnum now. Hope everyone that had the day off had a great day too.

    As for the problems with the SigPro 2009 anyone have any suggestions? I will be cleaning it after dinner tonight so I will take a look at it then.

    Don't they sell .500S&W's too? Strange that you can buy one from TM, but you can't shoot it there.

      When was the last time you cleaned the magazines?

      Not saying that's the problem, but it helps.

      Sounds like something's bumping the slide lock.

        Was your Sig lubed up properly? Sigs are kinda tempermental (that i've played with) and need to be run "wet".
        There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
        The wise, learn from the mistakes of others.
        The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
        The others, well......they just never learn.

            thanks for the tips guys. I cleaned the Sig tonight really good and 'lubed' it a little bit. I will check the magazines tomorrow. Yeah, I was really disappointed I couldn't shoot the cannon today. The range person said that they even pulled the rental 500SW off the shelf. I did see the normal 8 3/8" (if thats normal ) 500SW and the even bigger 10" or whatever Performance Center Hunting version. That one makes mine look small.

            thanks again guys.
