Are test targets common with many manufacturers?

Michiana · 11-30-2008

I received this test target and a shot casing with my new Walthers P99c. Is this standard practice with some manufactures? Shot at 15 meters so I guess I can't blame the gun for poor shooting. I personally don't remember running into this before and I have purchased several S&W, Ruger, Browning, etc. quality firearms.

Looks decent for a 15 meter shot pattern. If I remember correctly, most gunfights occur within 7 yards.

I have never seen a test target, just the fired casings.

+1 on the fired casing. Some states REQUIRE that you supply them with one.

My Glock had a spent casing with it, my boss has an old HK mod.4 that has the test target with it. I don't know how any other manufacturers do things, my Sig didn't have either with it.

I think my Weatherby is the only weapon I have bought that came with a test target. Some of there rifles they gurantee sub-moa out of the box.

doesn't the fired bullet go to the pd?

SIGs came with test targets "back in the day". Been long since discontinued though. I think all my West German SIGs had the targets.

Nothing goes to the PD in Indiana. Some states require that when you register your gun you have to provide them with a casing. They seem to think that they will be able to trace it back to you when you commit a crime.

That is why some makers provide you with one. My Glock came with one.

My CZ 453 Varmint (22LR) came with a target. Seems more often they come with rifles than pistols.
