A Kimber TLE II was my first pistol. It was my last Kimber, last 1911 even. This was circa 2006, and in less than 300 rounds the slide severely rattled on the frame, the barrel rusted, and the sear...

When I lived in NY I used a USP9, P2000sk, P30sk, and multiple VP9s with NY compliant ten round magazines for carry and IDPA/USPSA with never a malfunction no matter the competition or carry...
I've actually met more people in the southern AZ area that had theirs go almost identically like mine - long adversarial first session where you're accused of murder, 2nd session where you're called...
Not sure if this has been posted or discussed before, but I've found the information here very interesting. Preliminary results are promising.
...
Thank you, this was exactly the information I was looking for!
I had in fact been experiencing failures to lock back due to pressure on the slide release. I moved the support hand back a little...
Yeah, I'm fairly new to the Gen 5, after shooting HKs for a few years and running Gen 4s before that. Slide release feels a bit sharp on two samples I have, not sure if anyone else has run into it.
All,
I'd been doing a lot of dry practice, attempting to replicate a Vogel-type grip on my gen 5 34, with the standard slide release installed over the factory extended version. Validation in dry...
Whatever you do, don't make major life changes until the absolute last second, like your report date.
Yes this forum is indeed awesome. At the time my wife and I made the call to take a leap, I'd completed everything except for polygraph/piss test. I'd seen three coworkers leave for BP/Customs and...
PM sent, and thank you!
My former boss, who I applied at the same time with and he’s now working the area, said if you want Nogales you’re gonna get Nogales ;). Basically it was a big gamble, and I lost.
It was insinuated that if I took Nogales as a posting, the process would possibly be expedited. I said that I would, and then a transfer opportunity for my wife opened up out there, so we took a...
After applying in June 2017, I can unfortunately confirm the practices in the article are still going on. I’ve recently put a combined 14 hours over two sessions in the room, and between the two...
Try starting with small panels on the sides, being the flattest. Then work your way through the back straps until you find one that is satisfactory. Then, adjust for side panels if needed. Seems to...
I concur, I mainly just worry about keeping the strong hand thumb up and out of the way of the slide release.
I had initially struggled with grip and panel selection when I first switched to HKs. I too went with L side panels to give that effect, but have since found that S panels on the sides and a more Bob...
That's my exact schedule except for start/end time, and the 7 days off is usually where the mandatory OT comes in
I have a VP9 and P30sk (4.1 LEM) both with Rick's reduced reset packages. Resets are the same for both, but even with reduced takeup on the LEM it's still a LEM. I do find it's much easier to switch...
VP9 with Lazy Wolf Guns treatment for competition. P30sk with 4.1 LEM for carry, got a TLR-7 coming to replace the TLR-3 for nightstand duty.
I found that ordering a seperate set of panels and doing them up with the Oregon Trail Defense tips satisfied that need. Not ideal, like you said, but if you aren’t particularly concerned with...
My extremely non-scientific approach has led to using all smalls for the VP9, and small backstrap/large sides for the P30. For the VP, you get flat sides for neutral sight tracking and an overall...
Here's the footage from Area 7 in Harvard MA Sept 9th. I primarily shoot IDPA based upon club availability and work schedule, so for me this was another level. I got my ass kicked, and crapped the...
Dawson's for sure. Just give em a call and discuss the situation over the phone, they'll sort it out.
Thank you, for a first timer through the process it is a little intimidating - especially with all the press. Still, going to work on that plan B. I'm fortunate enough to have a decent job on hand,...
I'm going through the background investigation now, with a poly to be scheduled. Never taken one before, but thought I would have no problems (never tried weed, never even had a speeding ticket), but...
