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 thought about starting a new thread, but I searched and found this one.
I just acquired a P30 V3 from my brother today. I gave him a G17 with Dawson sights for his birthday a few years ago; he...
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...
Glad this thread came around again. I'm taking the new J-frame to the range this weekend and have been trying to figure out both my grip and trigger pull with lots of dry practice lately. I'd been...
Thanks, WDR. I'll keep that in mind.
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...
Yep, looking forward to those new speed loaders. And really looking forward to shooting this new (to me) revolver! I can only recall shooting a J-frame for a couple of cylinders many years ago. It...
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...
I just put the J-frame ones on my wish list at Midway. Looking forward to trying them when they come out.
Can anyone give me a recommendation for currently available 5-shot speed loaders that...
Yes, I'm probably going to order DSG's J-Frame clip-on AIWB holster. Read good reviews on the Mika pocket holster, I'll have to research the others too.
By the by, grabagun.com is where I found...
I just bought a 442 no lock this morning for $315 plus tax. Picking it up in a few days when it arrives. Pretty excited!
I had planned my next handgun purchase to be more like a G19 or similar...
Makes sense to me if you're in an environment where you always have a long gun handy, then. It's a bit foreign to me, so pardon my preconceptions. My experience has been limited to: A) wartime...
I call my war belt a war belt, 'cause I wore it in...war. :p
I think the advantages of a war belt for carbine training are that you've got plenty of real estate and it's going to be more...
Yes. The downside is that plate carriers don't work without the plate in them; they aren't designed to carry the weight of mag pouches et cetera without something rigid inside them. I'd only get a...
Thank goodness for this thread. I need as many excuses as I can find to dissuade me from spending money on an RMR for my next pistol!
Actually, it's useful in another way. Later this year I'm...
Definitely go out and rent or borrow a bunch of the pistols you see recommended here! Ironically, the three you listed (Glocks, Beretta 92s and 1911s) are the only three platforms I have extensive...
Great topic. While reading preceding posts I was also thinking about backstops in my neighborhood (urban). Most walking gets done along sidewalks in a neighborhood like mine. That creates a very...
Another vote for a Safariland ALS. I currently have one for my 1911, and have also had them for the G17 and M9. Used one on deployment and for training. They are excellent.
I just dug out my...
