First outing with the Atomic XR

I’m sure you watched the video of my initial impressions.

Finally got some time to hit the range and get the pistol sighted in. First and foremost I need to make the trigger slightly heavier for my liking. At 5oz I just don’t have the trigger control I would like and end up pulling a little quick sometimes. 


let’s talk accuracy. First let’s be clear, I AM NOT A PISTOL SHOOTER. Shooting a pistol well and shooting a rifle well are two different animals. 


For my first trip I had an MTC optics King Cobra FFP rifle scope, accu-tac bipod and 0dB moderator with muzzle weight. I was shooting JSB 15.89 pellets from the magazine. My five shot group at 35 yards is below (see photo). At 50 yards I was able to hit chalk with relative ease. First shot at 50 I missed low, second shot was a hit and puff a blue chalk dust! 

Maybe I can shoot a pistol. At least this one.
