$40 for the lowest priced laser target. The laser round was $34. The phone app (itarget pro) displayed above is free. I'm not sure just how accurate it is but I think it's close.

The $40 target gets decent reviews but the big knock on it is the small bullseye that you need to hit to activate it. There's an expensive target by laserlyte $175-$192 but I figure I can buy and reload a lot of rounds for that much.

Here's the light up laser target

Underwood ammo?
 
Anyone ever use it? It's available and I'm supposing there may be a good reason for that.

A good 9 compact is the CZ 75 P01, Decocker, Alloy Frame...the ones marked NSN on the right side of the frame has gone through rigorous testing by NATO and is carried by the Czech police...

A good quality spoon.

The other one is the Beretta Langdon Compact 92..

Thought I'd update. So far I've cycled 40 Blazer 115gr FMJ's and 20 Blazer 124gr FMJ's through it. It seems to like the 124gr better than the 115's. Shooting from the same distance, 10 yds, I had more shots in the target than I did with the 115's. My grouping wasn't all that great but I've only shot 60 rounds through it and I'm still learning the sights. I'm going to buy some Remington and Federal ammo the next time I see them just to find out if it has a "brand preference".

They go bang every time. They're not for everyone, their stock triggers rub me the wrong way, they're fugly. But I'd trust my life to a right out of the box Glock any day of the week. I only have one Glock at the moment and it's a backup to all my other backups. But it's a dead nuts reliable gun.

Probably an anomily, but a friends Glock in .40 "short and weak" jammed quite a bit. Might have been the ammo? I dunno...but he was a bit miffed since it was the first time he took it to the range. This was back in the 90's.

BTW, my old 9mm Hi-Power performed flawlessly, despite it's low capacity magazine.

The only time my G19 gave me an issue was when I was futzing with the striker and its' spring. I installed a "skeletonized" striker and started getting light strikes. It took awhile to get the right spring strength.

BTW I'm on week #7 waiting for my papers to clear. :(

Getting better! I took the 9 out this evening to shoot a few more rounds through it. I wanted to see how I did with the 124gr bullet again. This is by far the tightest group I've shot. I'm going to put some 115gr in and give it a try again just to see if it's me getting better or if the ammo has something to do with it as well. Only shooting at 10 yards right now. Once I'm comfortable I'll back up to 15 and maybe 20 to see how I do.
