OK, I have had my PT145 for 4 years now. Before today, she only had 60 rounds through her.
Today I put 101 rounds through, 21 where hollow points. Buddy put another 20 through.
I had 2 FTFs. Both FTFs where on the last round of the mag, the original mag. No problems with the new mag. Buddy said that the likely cause is the mag, not the pistol, meaning that she will stay loaded with the new mag and the old one will be a back up mag.
Only serious issue then is that I was shooting low most of the time. I can't tell if it is due to a heavy trigger pull, or my hold. I messed around with the hold some, and on a few of the mags, was able to put every shot inside the size of a grapefruit. Other mags I may only put 1 or 2 right where I was aiming, but at least managed to put 90% of the rounds inside the silohoutte. So, basically, I think I just need more practice.
But, if the sights need adjusting, how? They are non-adjustable.
Secondly, what is the best option for decreasing trigger pull?
Thirdly, I would not mind a laser sight, possibly one integrated in the recoil spring, best options there?
What are options as far as adjustable sights if any?
BTW, all of our shooting was done at 10 yards or greater. And I did horrid when plinking targets. (we went to paper for most of the rounds to see grouping.)
We also put 200 rounds through a glock 17 with 2.5 lbs trigger pull....amazing...and put about 50 rounds through the new Ruger LCP .380...felt like I was gonna break that thing. I outshot one of the local cops (only other person who was at the range) on the first mag of the day, both of us shooting the same glock 17.
I had not been shooting in over 2 years, so I guess it wasn't too bad. I am prolly gonna be hittin up the range now once every week or two or more often. (Buddy goes twice a week or more)
I did not try and holster draws, but we are plannin on trying to work in some situational shooting next month some time. I did some one handed shooting, was easier than I thought it would be, was semi-accurate with it, did not fire with my off hand though.
