Range Report: SIG 238, S&W E-Series 1911, Colt Combat Elite, and S&W 629 Snubbie

[mesinge2]

I went shooting with a retired female NYPD Officer that has become a close friend. She was retired when she was shot in the hand and she still shoots. She just got a SIG 238 and it is an awesome little gun. She tried it out today and now I really want the 9mm version (the 938).

This is what went to the range today:




And here is the 238 vs. as FS 1911:






Here is the SIG 238 in her hands at 7 yards with Hornady Z-maxx ammo. She said that the 238 recoils less than the Bersa even though the 238 is significantly smaller.

All my shooting was done at 14 yards:

I shot my new S&W 1911 E-Series up against my Colt Combat Elite. I actually think the S&W might be more accurate.It is grouping tighter but it is also grouping consistently left for me. I need to drift my rear sight.

Then I exhausted the last of my DoubleTap 300gr. Nosler JHP in my S&W 629 Snubbie with a third Shoot-N-C:

Wow. Colts, Smith'n'Wessons, SIGs ... just what I like takin' to the range. Only 800 rounds? Slacker ...

Out of curiosity, how do you like your Combat Elite? I love the reverse two-tone look, and it's one Colt I feel that I need for my collection.

I really love that Combat Elite. Every time I buy a new 1911 it gets compared to it. I think I have about 8,000 rounds through it by now and I can't remember a single jam.
