S&W FPC…my oh

[Doons]

This is the second time shooting the FPC. I had dropped it while cleaning after its maiden voyage, because….well.. I am an uncoordinated clod on occasion and was concerned I had given the Romeo5 a concussion. So this time was to ensure the dot was still ok. Target at 18 yards and 3 full mags (1-17rd, 2-23rd… 62 rounds). This is the target after the testing. This gun is too much fun to shoot and hard to be inaccurate with. No changes were needed to the dot… my shooting though… i tend to shoot left (trigger press I reckon) refer to my earlier comment about being a clod.

the pea shooter….

Timely thread is timely.

Just back from the range shooting my new FPC.
I had installed an Trijicon MRO on it initially as it was what I had laying around.
Poor results. That MRO is several years old and has the bad parallax issues..
Ammo used was some crapola Federal 115grn FMJ. That stuff is junk.
Had many MALF's with it on another range trip using it in handguns.
Last weekend at the get together it shot awful. All over the targets
So yesterday I ordered a new red dot from Primary Arms.
It arrived this morning. Swapped out the MRO for the PA sight.
Took it to the range to sight it in. At 25yds I was getting groups you could cover with a silver dollar.
The ammo I used was 115grn FMJ Magtech. This stuff seems a little hotter loaded.
Gun ran superb. Zero MALF's and very good accuracy.
I think we may have a winner.

Glad it all worked out. Sending the MRO back to Trijicon?

This is the second time shooting the FPC. I had dropped it while cleaning after its maiden voyage, because….well.. I am an uncoordinated clod on occasion and was concerned I had given the Romeo5 a concussion. The first time shooting was getting the Dot zeroed and then put some rounds down range to verify. I was impressed but I am easily persuaded. So this time was to ensure the dot was still ok. Target at 18 yards and 3 full mags (1-17rd, 2-23rd… 62 rounds). This is the target after the testing. This gun is too much fun to shoot and hard to be inaccurate with. No changes were made to the dot… i tend to shoot left, refer to my earlier comment about being a clod. I really like this gun, really! Target was at 18 yards (max for the indoor I shoot at).

This gun definitely looks better in person. Wonder if they'll release a 10mm.

Now that would be something.

Read somewhere the FPC can not handle the pressure of the 10.
S&W will not build it.

Sounds like they need better engineers, or instead of straight blow back, they need to look at roller delay. They'd make many guys cream their thighs for an American MP5. Esp in Saint Cooper's caliber.
