TCP 738 after Fix
Fired 13 rounds from the 738. Slide did not stay open on last round on first mag. Second mag the slide held back on empty. 11 of 13 rounds were 2" low left of the target at 15 yards, indicating I was jerking the trigger(?). No ejection problems. Looks like they fixed the problem.
I would have been a better test had I picked up the 3 boxes of ammo I left on the loading bench.

Lawman at the Range
Fired about 50 rounds of 158gr LSWC and 15 rounds of .357 mag from the lawman. Only problem was hard to see front sights. First three rounds were X's at 15 yards, then it went down hill. Kept them in a 5.5" circle. Did six rounds inside the 7 ring of a 50' timed and rapid fire NRA target.
Good SA trigger and easy DA trigger. It does release earlier than the S&W's and GP100. Pleased with the purchase.
