We moved to the indoor range, which is only 50 feet long at this facility, to give the gun a fair chance. I laid out some rapid-fire bull’s-eye targets. Alas, I discovered that it wasn’t the light. Aging male eyesight had struck again. I couldn’t get a focus on a front sight that small and that close without taking off my prescription shooting glasses.

Given the “old guy’s eyes” problem, I don’t think the above was a fair test of the gun’s accuracy. I’m sure it can shoot better than that. However, that will do for barnyard rats at close range.

It will also do in terms of accepted accuracy standard for small-caliber pistols. These are not 25-yard guns, though this one kept everything well inside the 8-inch circle of an IDPA target’s center zone at that distance, even under terrible eyesight conditions and worse light conditions.
