Sentinel Sunday

Finally got it to the range. The manual says they are factory sighted at 50 feet, so that's what I did. I started out with three inch groups clustered around the bull. That was better than I expected since I hadn't shot anything since September. Then the groups started growing as the Thunderbolts I was using fouled the barrel. Even a few quick passes with a bore brush didn't help. By 200 rounds the groups were 6 inch. Cleaning it later I got several good size slivers of lead out. Next trip is Federal.

Found a nice Bianchi Ranger holster for it at a LGS today, $15. I didn't remember ever seeing one, and a little Googling told me it was made in early 90's (?). During my non-shooting years. Nylon, with a velcro adjustable retention strap.
