So, Went to the range Saturday with my son. Took my new Nighthawk trooper and (new to me) ed brown cobra carry. Also my DW's Vigil and Valor bob-tail
My son brought his Nighthawk GRP.
using wilson combat, ed brown and Nighthawk magazines. Shooting standard 230 grn FMJ. Distance of 10 yards
My groupings where much tighter using any of these than they have been with my sigs, kimbers or springfield. I think thats to be expected.
The nighthawk seemed to group better after about 75rnds, but seemed to shoot lower than expected. I had same result shooting my son's GRP. has anyone else noticed these shoot low? or will it get better with usage?
the Ed brown grouped well, but to the left. That's on me. Action was like butter on this one. I think previous owner broke her in well
While I'd like to say the more expensive pistols shot much better and are worth the money, I really can't. The Wessons kept close enough to realize that they are exceptional value. While close examination of the other two will show the better fit and finish, for more than 1/2 the price i'd be hard pressed to kick the DW's out of bed. And for a firearm essentially new out of box I am delighted
I do need to put a higher viz sight (thinking fiber optic) on the ed brown and vigil. I'll be shooting in daylight. Anyone recommend a color and good smith local to me (Aloha) that would place on the ed brown without marring the receiver?
