Testing new 6 inch plate target.
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2022 10:17 am
While shopping at my LGS I saw these 6 inch swinging plate targets for sale. At $ 24 bucks not bad at all for a quick target to set up.
I don't think it is AR 500 steel judging from the file test but it took 16 yd 45 ACP hits without dimpling the steel and it did swing completely around.
Also I wanted to test out the Banish 45 silencer in it's shorter 6 1/2 inch configuration rather than the usual 8 1/2 inch length on my Ruger 1911.
Well it was just a bit louder than I wanted for no ear protection and the hits on target were in same area whether with the silencer or without.
My opinion the silencer works the best full length and when screwed on to a Henry 45 lever rifle. The rifle stays much cleaner with no blowback particles on the shooter. Put it back to full length and back on the 45 X model which I like!
