On the range the 27 did very well. (well until the extractor broke.) I lifted the imitation ladder site and was smacking a rock on the side of the mountain consistently at 200 yards. I was impressed at how much energy still existed from the small capacity and high bullet weight of the .45, it was neat seeing puffs of dust fly when they hit.
Groups at 50 yards were good using the combat site as well.
After re-chambering, installing the barrel, and adjusting for proper headspace, PK test fired it and zeroed for 50 yards.
Has anyone ever met someone at the range that you wish you hadn't?
This guy was there that really reminded me of "Pyle" from Full Metal Jacket.
Scary very Scary!
He said he was fired from the Marine Corps., even more scary.
I was like, well my extractor broke (thank god) I have to go now.....
Since I bought the 27 about 2 years ago, I've amassed quite a bit of Thompson collectibles. Thompsonitis comes in many forms!
