    Lasik Surgery

    I am thinking of getting this done, but I want some opinions from other idpa/uspsa/ipsc shooters. I wear glasses for distance (including shooting). I sit at a desk most of the day reading paperwork without using glasses. My eye doctor discussed having monovision lasik surger for me where one...

    Looking to get into reloading.

    I just started. And although I bought different tool heads, dies, and conversion kits (for other calibers), I started with the .45acp. I made a few mistakes at the beginning, not enough powder, looking at the wrong overall length instead of the OAL for the bullet I was using. But now after...

    Thinking about getting a kimber

    Agreed. For $1300, you can get a used Brown, Baer, or Wilson.

    Kimber

    Wilson, Baer, Brown, RRA, Nighthawk, etc. I think they are all about the same. Kinda like saying Mercedes is better than BMW or Ford is better than Chevy.

    Kimber

    I love my Kimber 10mm, but I would rather have a Baer in 10mm. But then, it depends on your budget...

    Kimber

    For carry, I would prefer the Baer. But then, get what you can afford. Also, if you get the Kimber, put a few hundred rounds through it before you carry.

    +1 LMS Pistol Course

    No problem. And sure. Let me start by saying that I am not a cop, never been in the military, and never did any kind of firearms formal training or beeen involved in firearms competition. Instead, I would go to the range (indoor up until a couple months ago), and I would fire at relatively...

    +1 LMS Pistol Course

    Not trying to advertise. The course is in progress this weekend. I recommend taking this course if you have never had formal pistol training (not a mere ccw course). I found myself realizing what bad habits I need to unlearn, and more importantly, why I need to unlearn them. Real safe and...

    1911- The Harley-Davidson of handguns

    I was at the drag strip one time when I started talking to this younger guy. He claimed his car ran 8s in the quarter mile. I asked what kind of tires he was running and he replied with the name of some average radial tire. I then was very curious as to his setup and he replied that he had a...

    1911- The Harley-Davidson of handguns

    Ed Brown. There is just something cool about having a pistol where every part was built by the named owner and his sons from bar stock in their shop. And after they made each part, they put it together by hand and tested it before sending it to me. Yeah, the price was higher than some...

    16" vs 14.5" AR Barrels

    Assuming you are not going SBR, get the 16" (threaded) so you can easily change your muzzle device at a later time.

    1911- The Harley-Davidson of handguns

    The OP is just full of misconceptions. Some AKs are VERY accurate:
