Jake Di Vita Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Just got this in from Bedell a couple of days ago. It is absolutely without a doubt the finest firearm I have ever shot. Absolute tack driver (1 hole groups prone at 15 yards) and it flat runs. As if that wasn't enough, the gun is shockingly flat as well. Junior has a flat trigger that breaks right at a pound and 4 ounces and is chambered is supercomp. It also has custom fitted swenson safeties, a 4 MOA dot, and a ball detented slide racker. I'm in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypool40 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I just noticed you went Serendipity rather than single side. Any reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 dp, I actually like the serenipity more because it seats the scope so much closer to the slide. Plus I don't know what it is but I've always felt more comforatable with a double-sided mount. I would switch to an allchin or something of that sort if I had trouble with this, but I doubt that will be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Jake.. nice..nice..nice.. you stayed with a 5" slide, no barrel ports setup.. what do you find better about it than some of the short guns that are out there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Di Vita Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 eerw, I've always been a fan of heavier guns. The main reason I don't have any barrel ports set up is that with this gun I just don't need them. Running 177 PF loads (just what I loaded up) the dot only rises about halfway up the glass. Not bad at all. Plus there is less powder needed to make major. In regards to a short gun, I honestly don't see an advantage from them. They are much more violent to shoot, there is a lot more dot rise, I've heard from several people that they are harder to get running good, and parts wear out more quickly. The main reason people go to them is that they believe a lighter gun will give them faster transitions. I think my transitions are pretty decently developed and I don't feel I lose anything on a short gun....even though I also opted to go with a steel comp rather than titanium.

spook Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 It looks awesome. The top of the slide has one brilliant pattern. But dude.... you shoot PRONE at 15yds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'd shoot prone at 5 yards if the bullet wouldn't fly over the berm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
