Detonics Scoremaster range report - UPDATE
I just got a Detonics Scoremaster today (thanks again ashylarry for you) for a STEAL. I unfortunately had to go to Don's ( but I'm not gonna bash them here) to put some rounds through it as Pop's was closed when I got there. I was kind of salty about Pop's as I had called them around 3-3:15 today and got no answer. I went over there and they had a sign saying they closed at 4:30. Why they couldn't pick up the phone and tell me that I don't know. But I guess it was silly of me to drive all the way out there without knowing for sure so shame on me. Whatever.
Anyway.
I put about 50 rounds through it and the thing is buttery smooth. One of the lightest recoiling .45s I have shot - part of that due to the size/weight and part due to the three concentric recoil springs. I had 3 FtFeeds out of the 50 rounds I shot but I attribute those to the mags as I had 2 of them from one mag and 1 on a different mag. One of the mags fed flawlessly - I believe it was the Detonics factory mag that fed flawlessly. I also need to get the sights zeroed in as it shoots about 4" to the right and just a bit low of POA. Also gotta pick up a few new mags - probably gonna try the Chip McCormick Powermags (any suggestions?)
Every time it fired it ejected the brass with healthy force and cleared successfully. I'll have pics up a little later. Just gotta take it apart and clean it first.
