  1. Anyone know where you can get a replacement Sphinx SDP Compact Barrel?

    I know someone who apparently needs a new barrel and was wondering if anyone was aware of any sellers?

    Thanks in advance!

    Good advice, perhaps that is what I will do. I’m still very much a newbie, and I’m really just looking to have fun anyways, so what you suggest could be a good option.

    Well, I actually don’t have any problem with its DA persay, it’s the general transition between DA to SA in any gun that throws me off slightly. It’s just a skill set I need to hone. I’ve had a...

    There may be a bit of unnecessary internal justification occurring, this is true.

    Another update: thanks to the advice I received, I’m in the process of joining a local USPSA club. In other news, I did deviate from the advice a little bit. I got a pretty good tax return and thus...

    I was starting to go down that route of constantly collecting and cycling through several different types of guns. I’ve only been shooting and dry firing with my chosen platform for the past several...

    I enrolled in a tactical shooting course ran by some local ex special forces guys, unfortunately it doesn’t start until April as it is at an outdoor shooting area and the weather here is rather nasty...

    Update: Thanks to the stellar advice on this thread, I’ve made some changes to my approach to shooting. I now own only two pistols, a VP9L and VP9 standard. I sold the P30 and CZ I had, was able to...

    I am somewhere in the middle. I have a fair budget to allocate to guns, but that’s because I’m unmarried, have a stable job, and am still in my 20’s. At the same time, having a bunch of guns sitting...

    I appreciate all the encouragement. I guess I just need to dive right in. I don’t quite feel ready, but I’m going to go for it regardless. I’m the past months I’ve spent countless hours at the range,...

    So, i just found out the VP9 long slide conversion kit is now out. Instead of getting a new gun, I’m just going to buy one of those. I may get a second VP9 for carry and keep the existing one as a...

    I think you make a good point, if I got the other gun then I probably wouldn’t see any enhance performance. It’s possible that I just concentrate more and try harder when shooting my dad’s pistol.

    Was it the 5” version? It also doesn’t seem to be present on every model, but it is on several of them. I’ve handled some that did have it, and some that didn’t. I could make a little YouTube video...

    All fantastic advice guys, thank you. I actually feel like I have a better perspective on what I need to accomplish my goals now.

    I know you think I’m being dramatic, but it’s really very noticeable— I’m talking about on a Walther though, my HKs have never had this issue. I only dislike it because it creates a feeling of...

    I think you’re misunderstanding, lol. It doesn’t require an extreme amount of shaking, even slightly moving it from side to side will produce the effect I described. Of course when I noticed that,...

    There is a noticeable amount of play between the slide and frame when it’s unloaded (still there when loaded, but less severe), shaking it slightly will cause it to noticeably rattle, it’s visually...

    Well, it seems like the consensus is to stick with what I have. I shoot best with the VP9, so I guess that is going to be my primary training companion for a while.

    I’ll probably get a 1911 just...

    I love how the 1911 handles and I love the history behind it. I would consider using it defensively as well, so I’ll do as you suggest. Do you happen to have any recommendations in the below $1000...

    I think you’re right. I already own some fairly nice pistols, perhaps I’d be better off investing in additional training. I shoot a lot (I live only five minutes from a great range and have a pass),...

    Hey there, thanks for the advice. I actually own the HK P30 and VP9, I can accomplish what you say with those guns (10 yards slow fire in the center ring). Shooting rapidly on the other hand is...
  22. Help Give Me Some Advice On New Pistol Purchase

    Hi all,

    So, I recently sold several of my firearms, I had collected a lot and realized most were collecting dust, as there are a few that I shoot almost exclusively.

    I want to get two new...

    Thanks for the prompt reply.

    It does lock back with an empty mag in place. I don’t think I am riding the release, but I won’t say it’s impossible, this gun does fit in my hand quite differently...
  24. Brand New CZ P10 F Slide Does Not Lock Back After Last Round

    Hi everyone, I just purchased a brand new CZ P10F (full sized variant of the P10 that just came out).

    It shoots wonderfully, but I put somewhere around 100 rounds through it today (around 5 mags...

    Thanks for the suggestions! I actually went to the range earlier with my ex military friend and it turns out my trigger technique and grip was the culprit! I’m now loving this gun, it had a steeper...
