Got it one day early! The unboxing










Intercooler

Cleaned it up with Ballistol and put it it's new home. I'm headed out now to wear it out and do a Chrony on a couple of ammos with it!





Intercooler

I did Chrony with the new 1006 today using a new box of Armscor. All my questions answered in one day but then I knew the answers. Got this from Gene today:

I tested some 10mm ammo a while back and it Chronographed better than current lots. Any reason why the newer stuff isn't as good? Does BVAC do the loading?

The double action killed me today. First two shots in DA I nailed the Chrony head on. That plate has paid for itself about 5-10 times already!

Put the Hogue grip on today. Pretty straight forward and an improvement. I'm liking it!

What do people do on the triggers? I'm spoiled with my other pieces because the take-up is pretty long in SA.

Checkout the super short reset on the trigger...it rivals the Sig SRT.

You know, if you shot anywhere near as much as you post, that might not be a problem. Just sayin....

I'm not following.  What do you mean?

I think it's excellent that you chrono all of those different loads from different 10MM guns.  The whole focus of this forum is on a single cartridge. If we can't  evaluate, dissect, analyze, scrutinize every minute detail of the round and the guns that shoot it then what's the point?

You mean Yondering? He vanished and hasn't come back to explain his comment. I will do the same until I understand what all that was.

Just keep on keepin' on.  Some/many of us really appreciate your efforts, personal expense, and reports.  I don't usually use commercial ammo, but know many people who do, and they seek my advice often.  Your reports, although not conclusive (nor are my claims/reports, to anyone other than me), may be helpful to many people.  Two thumbs up from me! (FWIW)

I'm hoping the previous comment was nothing more than sarcasm (as I thought originally).  In which case, funny.

I haven't been paying attention to this thread. I was poking fun at ya a little bit, in reference to about every other post on this forum being one of yours, but being inexperienced enough at shooting to hit the chrony because of a stiff double action... No big deal, just a little friendly sarcasm. We need one of those smileys with the guy poking the other guy with a stick...

Not sure how anyone thought my comment was in reference to ammo testing?

   Brand new pistol first two shots out of it should have target shot instead of with a Chrony in place. The last 1 1/2 years nothing but single action, so the smallish window of Chrony shooting bit me by pulling it low in double action to smack the steel plate.

Intercooler

   I post to share all the info I can but will stay off here. It gets stale without anything new or info but you can fill the gap. I did make a video of my 1006 trigger pull since so far it is the worst of any firearm I have ever owned. Chao

Hey IC, I hope you  stay around and as said, thank you, not only for the info, but for taking the time to post it all. This being a caliber specific site it's not going to have the traffic of an all inclusive type gun forum. As membership grows I'd think the posts per day and such will pick up. :D
