My main goal for tonight was getting my GEN 2 G19 test run for carry needs as well as give the AA .22 conversion kit a run for its money. The "OTHER MAIN GOAL" was to get my TA31-F ACOG hitting decent at 100 yards and to see what the CMMG .22 conversion kit was like for the AR platform as well.

Well - the day didn't start or end like I expected but I ain't scarred!!! We charged ahead despite the weather we were working with for the day.

Once there I felt like I was in for a treat! A GOOD CLEAN SIMPLE RANGE TO THROW DOWN LEAD!!!

The first target is 50 yards and the to one is 100 yards. Sighting in a scope take time and patience and were were running against daylight so the end result is a GREAT starting point for the next trip.

Here is my last grouping of 4 at 100 yards before we called it a day. Not GREAT but with a "Warm" barrel and I am sure a not so clean barrel I can live with this group.

The ACOG TA31-F is a great scope!!!! My eyes are not good but I could manage to get acceptable head shot groups at 100 yards all day long! I want to get my red dot sighted in for a 100 yard zero down the road as well. It's a 50 yard zero now.

The CMMG conversion was cool!!! Went right along fine using Winchester Super X (Forget the actual name of the ammo) which I read the conversions didn't like. I did have 1 FTF with the Winchester brand but CCI mini mags were flawless.

Also the Conversion kit for the G19 was VERY SWEET!!!!!!! It had some FTF as well but I think it was related to me having the rounds in the mag. weird. I had a few nose dives but No problem! That's what training is for. TAP and RACK BANG baby!!!

This conversion kit will be EXCELLENT for the wife and daughter to get a better feel for shooting than NOT wanting to try a slightly more felt recoil 9mm.

All in all I am very pleased with the way the gear runs and look forward to more lead going downrange. I wanted to use the .22 conversions for a more "less dramatic" shooting experience for my grandmothers neighbors where I shoot. Plinking is a lot more fun and cheaper when your limited to certain distances and backdrops to shoot into. The .22 will get used more than I thought! It was great fun and I could tell my hand gun shooting was easier to work on proper trigger control and learn my G19's like I want to learn them! AINT NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL DEAL THOUGH

 

I'm jealous, but thanks for the vicarious thrill and report.

 

is that a deer standing between you and the 50 yard target?

I was wondering the same thing.. Cant tell if its a dog or a deer. Good post, makes me want to get out and shoot. Just might do that tomorrow.

that is exactly what I was thinking when I saw that.

 

Yes, I was wondering at the critter mid-range too.....

Skinny long neck. Looks like a deer.

 

Ha ha. Guys.... That's a black lab. No range use when he's running through!!!

 

Nothing finer than a 2nd Generation Glock 19. I want to get me one of the .22 conversions. I hear they are great.

Ah, the "long skinny neck" I was looking at was his tail...........

I need new glasses before hunting season

I'm sure your hunting buddies will chip in

 

I have the Advantage Arms conversion kit for my 1911 and it's definitely a great value product. It's definitely not accurate enough for bulls-eye shooting but for plinking, it gets the job done and it's one of the few where the slide locks back after the last round.

The only bad thing about it is that it's very picky with ammo. I've had no problems at all with Remington Golden Bullets or the CCI Mini Mags but every other .22LR I've tried, there's a lot of problems. In any case, I'm glad I got it and the customer service is pretty damn good...one of the few good things to come out of commifornia.
