Sig M17 mags

I've been taking my Sig M17 to the range lately, and wished that the pistol came with more than just two mags.  I've got piles of mags for my P226 and they came in handy when I tried out a few matches, but my M17 only came with two and I wanted a few more.

A few weeks ago, Londero Sports was having a sale on Sig mags so I grabbed three....as many as I dared without pissing of the wife, lol!

They had black ase plates so I gave them a quick squirt of Aervoe Field Drab and it was almost a perfect match to the factory color.

Then, three more mags showed up.  I bought these off EE a few weeks ago and totally forgot about these.  .40cal mags for the M17.  These are designed for .40cal, they still fit 9mm ammo, and these can hold 12 rounds legally.  I know, weird laws.

The base plates have a slightly different design.

I can't tell the difference between the follower.

The body of the mag has a slightly different design, but basically the same shape.

Well, I now suddenly have a pile of mags for this pistol.

Day at the Abby Range

First time to the range in ages, buddy Don invited me and a few of our pals to hit up the Abbotsford Rod and Gun Club.  

Took the chance to blat out a bag of 9mm through my new Sig M17 as well as my 300blk build which I've had for ages but never shot.

Don also brought out his M1 Garand which was a nice little treat for us.

First time firing my 300 blk build...thankfully it didn't kaboom, reaffirming the fact that I sort of know what I'm doing....or just got lucky when it comes to building ARs

Recoil was pretty manageable considering it was such a short (7.5") barrel.  

I also took my BCL 102 out (no pics) to see if it would break another bolt catch, but after 40 rounds, it was okay.  I didn't shoot groups today because we were at the 50m range and we only had paper set up at 25m so I just blatted off 40 rounds in a relatively rapid rate of fire.  Still, the 102 managed to produce one messy hole .  

We finished the day at the steel range and that just never gets old.
