I spent this last few days visiting friends and relatives in SoCal. I had sworn never to return to that black pit, but a number of very special people mixed to make it worth while. While down there I visited the Orange County Sheriff's range in Orange where I had done my Hunter Safety course 45 years ago. Needless to say the place has changed considerably.
New shooters are required to have the Range Officer inspect their firearms. When he inspected my 686+ his comment was something along the line of "this is a girls' gun". Seems everyone there shoots autos. My return was "it fires every time you pull the trigger". When he saw the PC 627 V-comp he counted twice and looked puzzled. I told him he should get current on modern revolvers and one of his companions mentioned what Jerry Miculek does with the 627.
ANYWAY, I would like to report that this shooter of very modest ability (26% of Jerry's score in the IRC) did better at 25 yards than at least one local LEO did at 5 yards and better in general, revolver vs auto!!! That ought to give those bottom feeders something to think about. Jerry would have cleaned house on them.
Grumble, grumble, grumble...
