Range Report Match-ups...

In the comments to my Range Report for the Browning Hi-Power, brad_in_ma reminded me that I'd posited about a head-to-head matchup of the Hi-Power and the WWI-issue Colt 1911 as mentioned in the gun pr0n some time back. Naturally, this got me to thinking (always a scary proposition) about other potential match-ups in the G. armory...

  • Colt Police Positive .22LR vs. Smith & Wesson model 17
  • Glock 30 vs. Smith & Wesson SW99C
  • Colt Junior vs. Kel-Tec P3AT
  • Colt Lawman III vs. Smith & Wesson model 19
  • Miroku .38 Special vs. Colt Detective Special
  • Hi-Standard H-D Military vs. Smith & Wesson model 422
  • Hi-Power vs. SigSauer P226
  • Colt 1991A1 vs. Colt Gold Cup National Match vs. WWI Colt 1911

And that's just the pistols! What other match-ups could/should I look into? Any requests on which pairing or pairings to run first? Given the rate at which I make it to the range, it could be quite some time before most of these get completed - what's the first one I should undertake?

How about a matchup involving a gun or guns not represented in the G. armory, like a S&W model 27 vs. Colt Python?

That is all.

Jay,

You could always pit the Turk against your Mosin Nagant. They're of the same era and fire rounds which are ballistically similar. Furthermore, you can test your skill to see if you can hit more than a berm at 100 yards. [/snark]

Any WW2 sniper rifle against any other WW2 sniper rifle?

Winchester `97 vs. Mossberg 500 vs. Remington 870?

Might I suggest a Hi-Power versus, ohidunno, a Glock 17 ?

I got a Colt Trooper I'll be bringing to the Blogger Shoot. Maybe Marko's M13 might be a square match-up for that?

I have a weakness for Hi-Standard.22s, so the HD Military vs. Smith 422 would be very interesting to me. Both out of the "Ruger MK-whatever and Buckmark" norm for .22 autos.
