    Ultradots have always worked well for me, but I've always had them on frame mounts (on pistols) or on rifles. I guess having them on reciprocating slides, like a lot of red dots, causes the...

    Thanks. I appreciate the comparison. For the OP, who seems to want a premium pistol for general service, I figured a better choice would be something a bit more modern.

    Are there any other...

    You've posted a lot of high end pistols over the years. Was the juice worth the squeeze, dollar-for-dollar, on this pistol versus other high end 9mm pistols? I guess using accuracy and shootability...

    It sounds like you're looking for an accurized service pistol for general use. If so, getting a B92 built by a serious gunsmith isn't really cheaper than just buying a top end 9mm pistol, like a...

    You bring up a tangential point that I've wondered about. My area isn't very active with service pistol shooting, so I'm a little out of the loop. Are people building competition guns on the M17 or...

    I partially disagree. With a dot sighted gun, sight radius no longer matters. You are 100% correct with iron sighted guns. I also agree with accepting the wobble with either dots or iron sights.

    I have a bullseye built M9 that was supposedly built by USAMU armorer. I think that's likely true because I got it from an active duty LTC who based in DC at the time. Also, the quality of the...

    I didn't realize that the package includes the ACRO! I thought it was just milled for the ACRO. That's a very good deal.

    I also bought Remington 5 1/2 primers. I was told they were for .30 carbine loads, which are more pressure than pistol cartridges (40,000 psi), but lower than .223 (55,000 psi). I used them in 9mm...

    Thank you very much for the input. I may be old school here, but assumption is that a fixed power for a certain price is higher quality than a variable power at the same price point.

    Thanks for the report. I figure that a small gun like that is for carrying, not shooting. I'll hold off for a full size.

    I have two older, blued Model 17s (one a 17 no dash, and a 17-3) and a modern 617 (can't remember the dash). The modern 617 is the way to go.

    1) ten shots versus 6

    Also, try using Vihtavuori powders. They're extremely fine grained ball powders, so at small charges they meter better.
