Quick notes on guns owned by others that I tried.
PSL- Accurate, as expected. Very smooth and long feeling cycle time. Lighter in the hands then I expected as well. Another thing unexpected was the lack of recoil. A 10 year old could shoot it nearly all day. Most likely related to the longer recoil impulse rather than it having a fast sharp one I'm sure. Were I the guy using it for it's intended purpose from a prone position, I believe I'd be in love.
Sig 232- Next to my 380 mak, this guns much superior trigger makes little bitty groups at 15 feet seem like auto pilot. Front sight. Press. Repeat. ..... Done. Doesn't seem to like steel case ammo though. Tried one magazine of the steel cased Herters FMJ, and had feeding issues. Back to the brass cased stuff, and it ran like a top. Fit and finish? Just like previous examples of this gun I've shot, it's very well made. Most likely the best built 380 out there. Tolerances may even be on the nearly too tight side of things, as the owner mentioned it will start acting up a bit when it gets dirty. Liked it enough I offered to buy it. No sale.
NAA mini-schofield chambered in 22 magnum- Neat gun. The machine work involved in its creation is close to building precision watch parts I think. A straight up hoot to light off. The cylinder is actually so small that after a couple fast cylinder fulls, it's almost hot to the touch. Given the grip I could achieve, and the sights on the little gun, I'd say that in my fold it's title would be that of range toy. Just my fascination with machine work on it's own makes me admire this little jewel.
AK-74- After handling and firing it, I now want to try one with a giggle switch. Bad. Sick to the stomach bad. Recoil you say? What recoil? There's no recoil here. This example had a pretty decent trigger, good balance and feel in the hands, but there was definitely a little muzzle heaviness. With that style brake out front, it almost felt like it was trying to nose dive, rather than head for the sky. The thought of one of these in a full auto configuration just makes me grin.
