I picked up a little P365 back at the beginning of the pandemic and finally had the chance to get it out to shoot. It either rained so much in the late spring to early summer, then dealt with my wife having cataract surgery in each eye, then was too hot for this old man to get out on a shooting range, and today worked out perfect.
The gun shot much better that I ever thought a small 9mm could . I had been playing with it, purchased an extra XL slide and barrel, as well as the slightly larger xl grip module. finally putting a Holosun 507k red dot on. Having cataracts myself along with thousands of floaters, I did not do too well at 15 yards, one of the Sig lasers did not do it for me also, the dot bounces around too much, showing my shakiness, plus the activation switch is problematic and takes too much pressure affecting my aim. The red dot was the cats meow, standing, unsupported I was getting consistant groups in the 3-3 1/2 inch range, not bad for a 75 year old shooting a new gun for the first time, and not having shot in almost a year, and have never considered myself a good pistol shot, prefer rifles. I like this combination, I can see to hit with it and with practice could probably do much better.
I also played with several .22 rifles, a couple of old Marlin 39a Mounties, that I had outfitted with Lyman 66 receiver sights, and a couple of old Weaver K3 scopes, one with a post and crosshair the other a German #3 post, which I found more accurate that I thought for those heavy posts, Also a Ruger 77/22 bolt action with a Shilen match barrel, a Winchester 52b reproduction and a couple of Ruger 10/22's which were Ruger only in receiver, barrels, and stocks, everything else quality aftermarket, trigger housing and triggers.
