Living rent free in @Haney’s head. Not a single post in this thread. Stalks me to laugh at mine. More in common with pedo Joe than I first imagined.

File this under the heading “Things I didn’t know I needed until I saw it” Pretty cool, and pretty good feedback on use in training from what I can tell.



Mine came in the mail today; about a week since I ordered it, so pretty quick on shipping. Super easy to fit the pistol, and then bend the wings to wrap around and support the can. Whole process took less than five minutes…including walking out to the garage to get the heat gun!

How does it shoot?

Put around 250 rounds through it with zero issues. So much fun! Was just at the Outdoor Show in Harrisburg and both Colt and S&W were there. I felt the Colt was nicer than the S&W 617, especially the finish and I can’t stand the Smiths’ hillary hole. Colt told me all the revolvers are polished by tumbling in a media, even the blued models.
 
Dan Wesson DWX I recently picked up. Swapped the trigger to the factory short version, single sided safety and LOK CZ75 full checkered thin grips. One, I didn't care for the red components. Two, I have one hand and set my 1911 style stuff up like this. Excellent pistol, lots of fun.

One of my favorites, and carries nicely in a TacSol holster.

A couple of mine, the first is the big brother to yours. Put a box through it today and my wrist knows it.

Then my daily carry, a Compact 1911 in 45 ACP

Finally my favorite to shoot, a S&W N frame 625 Model of 1989 in 45 ACP, a relative rarity. Someone did a great trigger job on this, dont breathe on it too hard, very accurate and just a joy to shoot.

Brings up a question some one may be able to advise me on. I shoot to the left with every pistol I own. Since its all of them I know its me and not them. What is a likely cause of that? I use the finger tip and a good grip. Maybe a slight flinch in expectation of recoil that Im not noticing?
