    I know I brought it up a while ago, but David let me try his LEM pistols and I really liked the trigger system. I got busy building my SBR in the meantime, but at long last I ordered the parts to...

    My brother left the mediums all around on the P30 and it seemed to fit my hand perfectly. It now wears the small panels and I can barely tell the difference!



    Thanks, I really appreciate it. ...

    Good point. I honestly doubt I'll be able to break this thing.



    That's interesting. Yes, I've found that TDA is like riding a bike, in that once you've got enough reps under the belt, it...

    Good point about changing it back, vis-a-vis the warranty. The cost of parts sort of puts me off, but it's the same as buying 3-4 extra magazines or a couple of range sessions, I suppose. Worth a...

    I'm getting off topic here since I am not addressing the SIG 320 specifically, but bear with me.

    Maintenance has been the primary issue with reliability, not weapon system selection, in my decade...

    Okay, I need some advice from the experienced revolver shooters here. Today on a whim I decided to head to the range and shot 50 rounds of standard pressure 130gn FMJ Federal through the J-frame. ...

    Just got back from the range, I shot the 1911 a bit then shot the 442 for the first time. Bear in mind it's been almost fifteen years since the last time I shot a wheelgun, and my lifetime round...

    Thanks. I'm going to hold off on speed loaders for a sec, but I ordered some speed strips to start since I know they'll work. I might let you be the beta tester on the new Lymans. Anyway I'm...

    Three additional things. I'm comparing my current EDC 19991A1 to my old Wilson CQB:

    1) GI-style grip safety. Yes, it's probably inferior in performance to a beavertail. I think most beavertail...

    Nice rig! And I envy your view. There can be value in having the pistol attached to your PC, though I understand why you took it off. On my first deployment I drove a lot, and I liked having my M9...

    Abso-friggin-lutely. I put some green paint on the front sight of my 1911, and it's incredible the difference it has made. Not as good as the FO I had on my previous G17, but way better than all...
