Started out with the M9 which I haven’t really shot since boot camp in like 2011. It was nice to shoot, perfectly reliable and the DA really surprises you with a 14# spring. It kept shooting before I thought it would lol.

Then I did holster draws with the PDP Compact and wow. Probably some of the best shooting I’ve done since I got back into it. 5 yard draw I did 3 rapid fire chest and 3 rapid fire head as fast as I could without blowing the target.

Next target was 7 yard rapid fire like 1-2 shots per second. Really happy with that, I don’t know if I ever kept a group that tight shooting like that before.

Going from irons to the trijicon feels like cheating, and the PDP Compact has such a nice trigger and accuracy it is really awesome.

Two of the corners at ten yards with the MK25, I had some mistakes but for a small target I thought those were not too bad either with irons and semi rapid fire. Maybe one shot every 2 seconds.

Then I just went crazy including a 18 round mag dump to see how I could control the recoil and there’s a few on the right where I wanted to see if I could shoot the line itself on the ring haha

I shot like 330-350 rounds today, Kinda insane, and didn't reload one mag lol. I feel like 100-250 is more normal... shot too fast in 50 minutes
