Fun day at the range shooting the Sphinz SDP Compact, the CZ75 TS, the SIG X-5, the HK p7 and a modified Ruger 10-22. Busy, busy!
The SDP continues to impress me. It's still tight; the slide fails to lock back on empty mag about 40% of the time. It's continuing to improve. The trigger isn't as smooth, or as light as I first thought. But, what can one expect when shooting at the same time as the other four guns, all of which have trigger pull in the 2 pound range. I expect it it will get smoother and lighter with more use; still under 300 rounds fired. Dead accurate out to 15 yards. Later, I plan to do some shooting at 25 yards with it.
What can one say about the CZ75 TS? A whale of a bargain. It hits what I point it at, if I can see it. It's been more accurate than my X-5 thus far.
The X-5 has reached a 1,000 rounds so I adjusted the rear sight just before the last target today. It's been shooting good groups high and right with a couple of bulls eyes each outing. The sight adjustment has pulled the group down and left. We'll see if it needs further adjustments.
Not much to say about the HK p7. Up to 10 yards it's very accurate. At 15 yards I was able to keep most of the five shot groups in a 5 inch circle. I haven't run 100 rounds thru it yet. Using the cocking handle is still new to me. Very light, smooth trigger; m/b the lightest of the five guns.
Ruger 10-22, a rifle; at 35 yards it will shoot a 1/2 group, if I'm up to it.
For those folks drooling over a X-5 L1 which are practically unavailable these days; spend half (or less) money and get equal performance. It's not as pretty!
The SDP should be on everyone's list.
If you carry, you should consider a p7. And, a couple of additional loaded mags.
