Well I took my new to me Mdl. 15 DW with 6" barrel to the range today and to tell the truth I'm not that happy.
Before going I cleaned it real good and lightly oiled it, checked the barrel gap(.007), the first 6 shots were good and close enought to the 10 ring to make me happy but after that it all went down hill, during the next cylinder full I got 2 FTF's both were light strikes and after that it got even worse, 3 light strikes and shot placment all over the target at 15 yards(my normal shooting distance). the Barrel was tight and the sights are too. I shoot a lot of .45 acp and .357 so I was not worried about recoil (which on this was not bad at all).
So any ideas?
I'm going to give her a deep cleaning and see what happens next time.
I do like the feel of this gun and just want it to be dependable and more accurate.
Make sure the firing pin area is clean and free of buildup, also most guns have a preference of ammo. I got the best accuracy with my mod. 15 using cast 158 gr semi-wadcutters, with an 8" barrel and sandbag the 158's would make 1/2" groups at 50 yds.
