Re: IDPA & USPSA tips requested Work on your footwork. In both sports it is probably the most overlooked factor in time. If I can get into shooting position faster, I can afford to shoot slower and make accurate hits. Index points in the walkthru, and run the scenario in your head a few...

Re: Smith and wesson 1911s? I have an E Series. Standard Stainless. Functions perfectly. I use it in IDPA and it has yet to let me down. Magazines are another issue.... Dawson front sight, S&A Stainless magwell and a trigger job from the Performance Center at S&W. Only thing it needed...

Re: 1911 builders? RIA is also a very good option to start with.

Re: 1911 builders? I think you should go for it, I have built quite a few over the last few years. There are a lot of detailed parts that have to be fitted "just right" like the barrel lugs, barrel hood, and correctly setting the height for barrel lock-up, hammer and sear angles...

Re: glock comp sights If you want other options, or are unsure, check them out in person. I reviewed two sets in the post below. Glock Sights Thread I like the Sevigny, but I found that the HD night sights are just as bright in the daylight, and added benefit if you do low light or no...

Re: S&W BodyGuard 380 I own one, and carry it when I am wearing a suit. Otherwise it resides in the safe. I figured out quickly that the laser's position varies greatly, and is impossible to see during the day. Also, holster options are limited. I use an Intruder IWB. The other issues...

Re: Quality small revolver for a woman? I picked up the SW Bodyguard 38, and had an issue with the one I had. SW replaced it on the quick, and to date I have over 500 rounds thru the gun with no problems. I purchased it for my wife with her with me. I asked " are you sure you want a...

Re: Full size 1911.... In 9mm? Your thoughts? ^^^ Agree. My STI Spartan simply runs. My only issues ever with the gun have been magazine related.

Re: 1911 Comparison Take it with a grain of salt, but my Kimber experience has been less than stellar. I own an E Series, and I can tell you that it has more than lived up to it's expectations. To date, after a trigger job, 18# recoil spring, and an arched magwell (my personal...

Re: .22 1911 Did a search on the Colt / Walther / Umarex / etc 22 1911 rail gun and came up with this thread. I fondled one of these the other night, and am seriously thinking of adding one for pure enjoyment, as well as teaching my son to shoot a handgun other than the revolver I already...

Re: Any suggestions for new sights ? I currently use two of the sights mentioned above. The Tru-Glo TFO, and the Trijicon HD night Sights. There are advantages to each, and as you figured, disadvantages as well. It all depends on what you are planning to do with them. The first set of...

Re: No frills flattop AR. Greg, Check out these guys. Great to do business with. Cold Hand Arms Also, I just had a fellow shooter purchase an AR from High Standard for around $650.00. Worth a look. I was at the class when he tortured it, no malfunctions that were not magazine...

Re: Best value for $ on 1911's Found a pic of the S&W E series. The Taurus pictured is not really a Taurus anymore. The only remaining parts that came with the gun are the frame, slide and the barrel. It is my tinkering gun, and I learned alot working on it myself. Everything else has...
