Went to shoot my 1911 at sgt. Everettes

[minihawk1]

I think this is a pretty good grouping at 3/4 down range for my second time
shooting this gun.

Why so many flyers?

 

[Honey Badger]

Is it keyholing or is that typical of the 1911 with paper targets?

 

[HMCS(FMF)Ret.]

Is that a Wilson CQB? If so, all your shots should be through the same hole. Just kidding.

Looks good to me.

Thats why I want to know how come so may flyers. All should be through the same hole.

That is what happens to paper targets when a slow moving large chunk of copper jacketed lead pushes through.

I see that anytime I use FMJ in my .40 or .45.



It seems the flat or truncated nose of the .40 and round nose of the .45 rip the paper into those "slits," rather than punching the clean clean hole a JHP leaves.

 

[minihawk1]

No, this was not from a key just the bullet ripping the paper

how far is that range anyway ? that is a pretty good shot. where did you aim at near the chest area ?

 

[Slammer]

Not bad but a good 1911 should be able to make one ragged home at 25 yards if you do your part. Not that I can do it I'm just saying that gun can shoot a lot mote accurate than that group.

about 3/4 down the range I don't know exactly how far it was.

Like I said only second time shooting this gun for my first .45
