When you do these types of activities, do you do them timed? Or do you only evaluate the accuracy of the shots? I have not used this pistol here I work with a glock 17, with a pietro beretta fs92, and with a sig sauer I like them all but I feel more preference for the latter, the characteristics of the tauros call my attention, it does not have a hammer, it is a needle like the glock? excellent detail of the scope accessory that remains static and does not affect the recoil of the shots at all, it must be fascinating to have the experience of shooting a few rounds with it ☺️
As you know, in the field, time is always critical so all the shooting I do it timed so that pressure is applied. However, when evaluating a firearm generally not. It's put through its paces though, meaning rapid fired and used in the ways the firearm will be used in the field, or in competition.
I never liked the Glock 17, or any Glocks really, although am familiar with the Beretta you mention and multiple Sig handguns which I like a lot. Bloody expensive though. The Taurus operates the same as the Glock as you say, it's a good system and I like the Taurus TX22 a lot.
I can't always operate firearms I want to buy prior to buying them however when I can I make sure to do so as it can mean I avoid purchasing the wrong thing. This is important with the .22LR as I don't really have a lot of experience with such a small calibre firearm. As mentioned int he post, I like the larger calibres as I've had a use-case for them.
Well, you have to look for alternatives so as not to lose practice, here in Venezuela loading ammunition is not applied, an ammunition is around 01 USD, which is extremely expensive, I have a question, each round of shooting you do is with the Full load?
I do, yes. Although, I tend to load them a little lighter for when I'm shooting in an important competition. There's minimum muzzle velocities though, to prevent people light-loading to help manage the recoil better. I prefer to shoot with full loads as it means I'm practicing to manage the recoil at its worst.
Here, I make my 9mm ammunition for about 0.24 cents AUD. (0.16 USD) and 38 Super is a little more. To buy factory 9mm ammunition it's about 0.46 - 0.50 AUD.
Here it is complicated in the sense of the restrictions by the law for the disarmament control of arms and ammunition, to be able to make an ammunition yourself you should have a permit granted by the Daex, "direction of arms and explosives" governing body, but It is almost impossible for them to grant you such a permit, so there is no way the only ammunition that is available would be the factory ones, which are "Cavim" an anonymous Venezuelan company of military industry which belongs to the state, and the price for each ammunition is of 01$ USD , carry out that activity here for at least 200 rounds with a full magazine in each round and assuming that you carry a pietro bererra fs92 with 15 shots, it would be around 3000$ USD, SUPER EXPENSIVE 🙄 I love shooting but this is one of the factors that limit me in certain aspects
I'm not surprised that they limit (virtually prevent) the making of ammunition there considering the trouble you're having. Here it's not at all regulated, all one needs is a firearms licence to but the gun powder, primers, projectiles and brass. I make rifle and handgun ammunition over various calibres.
I hear what you're saying about the cost, it's a shame though.
I know good shooters who practiced sport shooting, unfortunately this situation led them to move away from this sport, a shame
I'm not surprised, it's pretty disappointing. The problem there seems to be that the government-criminals don't want the populace to have firearms, a control mechanism I guess.
