Monday & Tuesday each saw the Ruger P89 at the range again. Monday was fifty rounds of 124gr Blazer Brass FMJ and fifty rounds of 115gr Sig Sauer Elite Performance FMJ (a pretty pretentious name for your standard ball ammo load if you ask me, which Sig didn't.) Tuesday was a hundred rounds, all 124gr Blazer Brass.
I'm controlling the gun better at speed, but it takes a lot of attention paid to grip. This target was from Tuesday and the upper A-zone is shooting at a .5-1.0 split pace at seven yards, while the lower is trying to push below .5. The front sight could benefit from being more visible, and the grip is a constant struggle if firing three-round or longer strings.
I'm reassessing my opinion of the trigger from "buck wretched" to "manageable", which is generally true of all but the very worst triggers. The best money you could spend on just about any trigger is a few hundred rounds of ammo and learn to drive the damn thing. Sure, you want a good trigger to do your best work, but you should be able to do adequate work with whatever's at hand, given a few laps around the block to get the hang of it.
This makes 400 rounds since the gun was last cleaned or lubricated with no stoppages of any type to report. 1,600 rounds to go.
