    Sidearms & Scatterguns IDPA & USPSA tips requested

    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...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Smith and wesson 1911s?

    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...

    Gunsmithing 1911 builders?

    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...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns glock comp sights

    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...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns S&W BodyGuard 380

    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...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Comparison

    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...

    .22 1911

    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...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Any suggestions for new sights ?

    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...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best value for $ on 1911's

    Re: Best value for $ on 1911's I like my SA, but also take a hard look at Smith and Wesson. I have the E series full stainless, and it has been reliable since new.

    Re: Competition Shooting: M&P9 vs Glock 17 Potatoes, potatoes. I own both, and have shot both in IDPA as well as USPSA. I personally favor the Glock as I have been shooting them since my first Gen 1 17. My M&P is also a great gun. I can say that as far as reliability, if you never have a...

    Re: First rifle for kids.... Cricket. Here's a pic of my son (6 now) from a year ago. Damn fun little gun. Had an issue with him losing interest due to the irons, so I got him the accompanying mil-dot Cricket scope and base to go along with it. Now we alternate between range sessions with...
