|

I just purchased a used but very nice Trailside. I had one about 10 years ago that I recall shot better than this one but I was only 59 then:)
In trying to shoot it from a rest, to verify the accuracy of the pistol, I find that it is difficult to do this as the barrel cross section is quite small and the slide actually comes forward to the point that it would rub on my leather bag.
What is recommended to allow a rested accuracy test to be conducted short of a properly fitted Ransom Rest? It is the 6" barrel Sport version.

Funny, I am in the exact situation.
I bought a cheap Pistol Rest from Amazon (One with a Trim Rubber Y to do this test and to ease Re-Zeroing).
I am actually headed out tonight to test it and I will let you know how it goes.

I tested this using my $20 "MTM Pistol Rest" purchased from Amazon.
It worked very well with my 6" Barrel Trailside. I was pleased with the results.
Best,

Hi Mike I think you answered your own question in this last question; and it is
The Ransom Rest. Shooting groups from bags or non-vised platforms is a great
test of shooter's ability; it is not a test of the pistol's potential accuracy.
