Range Day with Two Ed Browns

[FourT6and2]

200 rounds through each today. Zero malfunctions. Nada. Didn't even oil them beyond when I last cleaned 'em. Mix of WWB and Federal 230 gr. FMJ. Federal is definitely cleaner ammo and more accurate. Kobra shoots softer and I'm more accurate with it as you can see from the targets. SF Carry II is harder to shoot for some reason. It just always shoots left and high of center. Which probably means I'm flinching. But doesn't happen as much with the full-size Kobra. Each target has 50 rounds through it, at 15 yards. Out at 25 yards my targets look like a shotgun pattern lol. Gotta work on that more.

Nice pistols and good shooting. Love my Brown Kobra Carry.

[BakaLogic]

Nice shooting and nice guns! I'm a little jelly.

[trigger945]

Sweet shooting and sweet pistols! I love both Can I shoot them?

Ed Browns are just special.

[sfbay]

wow!!!!

sooooooo awesome.

Very nice guns. I would venture to guess that the bobtail on the SF Carry is the reason why you shoot it differently than the Kobra. It takes some getting used to.

Could be. Though, a 10-11 o'clock group usually indicates flinching, doesn't it? If it is the bobtail, how would one overcome that obstacle?

Lovely!!!

I thought flinching was more on the 7-8 o'clock (low left).

I also find it more challenging to shoot mt commander sized 1911 vs my full sized ones. And I still shoot a tiny bit to the left which irks me. I guess gotta practice more to fine-tune my shooting.

OP, I find it interesting that you have a full-sized Cobra and a Special Forces Carry. You normally see the opposite because of the roster limitations.

So what does a 10-11 o'clock group mean?




And I got the Kobra when I lived in Michigan. And the new Special Forces II via SSE.

Looks good, thanks for sharing! Digg the chart!

[trigger945]

Cool chart! I stand corrected

I push a tad left with long triggers on 1911's; the short trigger allows a straight pull back for me.

I notice this now, too. I remember you asked me a similar question before.

Don't think I've ever shot a 1911 with a short trigger. But the trigger travel on my guns is pretty short. Unless it's more about how far your finger is extended to begin with?

But I'm pretty sure I'm anticipating recoil (maybe not flinching). But I'm breaking my wrist up slightly and pushing the gun forward a bit. It's hard to slowly squeeze the trigger of these guns for a clean, surprise break. There's zero give to these triggers. i.e. they don't gradually squeeze in until the hammer falls. They break like a piece of glass. You keep applying pressure and then the trigger just clicks. So for me, it's difficult to slowly squeeze, squeeze, squeeze until the trigger breaks. I think that's part of it at least.
