.45 ACP Wilson Combat CQB Range Session 10/20/2020 at 5 Star Firearms in Zion, Illinois


5 x 8-round Wilson mags and 2 x 10-round Wilson mags, all stoked with Federal 230-grain HydraShok.

60-rounds total were fired during this session (those cartridges don't come cheap).

Bill Wilson's .45 ACP pistols are designed and refined to fire hollow point ammunition.
 
NOTE TO SELF:  You have a habit of leaving all of those mags fully stoked, sometimes for years, between range sessions.  3 of those mags are as old as the pistol and the rest are only a few years newer.  ALL of those mags have original springs / followers and NONE have ever been stripped and cleaned.  1 of the 3 10-round mags failed your pre-shoot inspection so you left it at home.  Take care of the much needed mag maintenance details and leave the fresh mags empty before you put this kit back into storage, ya big dumbass!  Load them up if you move this pistol back to the top of your personal denfense list, or just before your next range session with it. 

This pistol is an oldie but a goodie.  The tritium night sights quit glowing on this pistol some years ago.  Dunno if I'll bother to get them replaced.  Back in the day this pistol was at the top of my personal defense list.  Nowadays my Glock (19, 26, 43) pistols have moved to the top but the politicians will neuter those if they get the chance. 

----------

8-rounds each at distances of 9-feet, 12-feet, 15-feet, 21-feet, and 30-feet
Target #1 = 40-rounds total 

Yeah, my hand and eyes were getting tired for the last 3-rounds that landed high inside the 9.  The RSO came in to squeegee brass from the traffic side of the shooting lanes and was talking to some of the other shooters about one thing or another so I took a break to rest my arthritic hand and refocus my mind and eyes before going on to the next target.

-----------

2 x 10-round mags
45-feet and beyond is my current durable zone of suckiness
 I started off okay and then lost my mojo.  
Well, I've done worse.

60-rounds total for this range session.
Good fun with a great gun.
