Monday morning was back to the grind with the
Surefire XC1B-equipped Glock 32 and a hundred rounds of
Lucky Gunner's Remington 125gr FMJ .357SIG ammunition in an attempt to see if this light will wilt in the face of all that muzzle blast.
I had wiped the grease (and powder residue) off the lens after the last session and I was too lazy to head down to the basement to get more, so as I headed out the back door, I dabbed a fingertip in the bowl of congealed bacon grease in the fridge and dabbed that on the lens instead. I figure that if Pam and Crisco both work, why not bacon fat?
With the fresh recoil spring in the gun, it ran fine. I function-checked the light at several points during the range session, and it continued to function normally.
With this session, it has put up with six hundred and fifty rounds of .357SIG with no hiccups.
Also, the mixed smell of burnt gun powder and bacon fat borders on intoxicating.
