Took my Beretta U22 Neos, vintage Whitney Wolverine, and Glock 21 to town today and had me a little range time.
The Wolverine was a complete bust. Out of a 10 round mag, one failure to feed and 4 light strikes. My conclusion on the strikes is that the 1950's springs are crapped out and I need to replace them with new ones from Olympia Arms. Anyone disagree with this before I make and order?
The Neos I had replaced the stock length barrel with a six inch barrel. It turned a good shooter into a great shooter. Here is my best target from 30 feet, two magazines. The rest I shot were similar.
Then it was time to finally try out my new-to-me Glock 21. Only the second Glock I've ever shot, and only the third 45. Again from 30 feet.
This was 11 shots, and I hope I punched the paper in several places twice as the alternative was I had to that never made the paper, and I was shooting better than that previously.
This was me picking up the gun from the table and firing the entire mag as fast as I could. 8 out of 13 shots hit. I think if this was a bad guy, I would have spoiled his day.
...and heart...
...and liver...

), but they allowed me to make slow payments, so I now have one. I think I just need to give it a little more love. I'm going to write Olympia Arms (who make a pretty decent repro) and see if they have any ideas.
