    CCO dilemma

    What difference is it if the Sigs are 80-series style pistols? Realistically I mean. I've shot and and I've gone to competitions with both 70's and 80's style models and IMHO, the feeling is minimal. The trigger pull is so minute that you won't notice it in a reaction situation. On the range...

    Best trigger for CC?

    you'll see all kinds of answers on this question. A lot of people are carrying 1911's now-a-days. That has become a common trend since its a 45. That's not to say that a lot didn't carry it before but currently, it seems like everyone wants to carry one. As for me, I currently switch between...

    1911 beginner

    There are so many 1911 manufacturers out there now. If you are planing on having a basic shooter/range/pretty gun it really depends on price. Springfield is a nice pistol. They have MANY different models that can cover all aspects. Colts a the original but can be a bit pricey. Kimber is a pretty...

    Sig Sauer C3

    As mentioned above, you should really shoot that pistol before carrying it. I actually own a C3 and it has been a great shooter. I've carried it for CCW and as a range gun. As with most new Sigs, the first couple rounds are usually a little snappier than the rest. your setting the springs and...

    SCCY second hand range report

    as mentioned earlier, the company was indeed started by some prior Keltec employees. If you see the two companies side by side, they are very similar though SCCY is a little cleaner looking. I've shot them and they aren't bad. In fact, its like shooting a Keltec.

    1911 Reliability

    Lots of good information. Basically, it comes down to this: tight tolerances are great for point accuracy. Loose tolerance is good for area accuracy and some reliability. Yes, MOST Mil-Spec/GI-Spec models are a bit looser than most other models. The military preferred a loose tolerance for...

    If you are CC'ing a 5" 1911...

    I've used a couple different companies. Some i still use, others, not so much. For OWB, i recommend the Bladetech Eclipse model. Very comfortable and very easy to come by. If you don't mind waiting a couple weeks/months, check out Raven Concealment Holsters. For IWB, Milt Sparks is a very good...

    Mec gar 1911 magazines any good?

    MecGar's are pretty good overall mags. However, I do recommend using either Wilson Combat or Chip McCormmick mags. Very similar in price but they have been tested by MANY, MANY people and have functioned great. If your paying 25-35 for the MecGar, you'll be better off with WC and CMC.

    Glock22 going to trade for Glock17

    As mentioned above, I'd recommend the conversion barrels for the 9mm, 357 sig, and even the 22. I, personally, am not a glock fan though I cannot deny how reliable they are. Lone Wolf, Storm Lake, etc. Check them out.

    HK USP LEM 40 COMPACT vs S&W M&P 9 COMPACT

    My daily carry is my HK USP9 Compact. I've been carrying it for a while and it is a GREAT shooter. I owned a full size M&P 9 and 45 as well as the 9c. Since owning, i've sold off the full size 9 and 45 but kept the 9c to give to my brother once he turns 21. My USP is the LEO trigger with...

    My first HK

    Welcome to the HK family!!! You will not regret it. Most, if not all, HK owners will tell you the same thing, "greatest weapon i've ever shot/owned". I've owned many HK's and all have been great. Enjoy your new toy.

    Looking For CCO-like 1911

    Look at the Sig 1911 C3. It is a true commander length barrel with a true officers frame. Steel slide and aluminum frame. VERY pretty (especially the grips). You should be able to find them somewhere between 900-1000 with night sights. They also have a model that is full steel but the C3 would...

    Need help selecting the right CCW...

    If you decide to stick with the 380, I HIGHLY recommend the S&W Bodyguard 380. To me, this is the most comfortable shooting 380 I've ever shot. Again, to ME. I find it easier to shoot and hold than any other 380 i've owned (Ruger/Keltec/Bersa/Etc). I've tried pretty much 380 available but the BG...

    I chose a ______ as a CCW because:

    I have two different carry weapons. Each one depends on the situation/weather/clothing. My first and definitely my favorite 9mm is my HK USP9 Compact. I went through MANY different firearms and calibers before I decided on the USP as my carry piece. I started out with Glocks to M&P's to...

    Thinking about Sig 250 in .45acp

    I owned the P250 in 9mm... it was nice.. ended up selling it for something else but while I did own it, it was a very soft shooting pistol and it was pretty comfortable. Never shot the 45 but did shoot the 40. Not bad. Not my cup of tea but it was okay and cheap.

    best 9's poll 2.0

    I'm not a glock fan but i voted for the glock. I do own two glocks which I won't sell because they are undeniably reliable and a decent range gun. I'd rather carry my HK or Sig but I can see the price range you were going for.

    Kahr PM9 or MK9?

    Anyone own/shot/carry a PM9 or an MK9? I'm debating which I'd like to buy as a carry small carry piece. I normally carry a USP 9 compact when fully dressed and a Bodyguard 380 when in shorts. I would prefer to step up from the 380 to the 9mm for my shorts carry. Any other suggestions would be...

    New Sig 226 Question

    I've owned the P226 (9/40) and P229 (9-40/357). For me, the P229 shot the 40 s&w better and smoother. Not to say that the P226 wasn't fine. I just felt like the P229 handled the round better. I ended up keeping the P226 in 9mm and the P229 in .40. Sold the others.

    1911 or polymer 45?

    For me, its never been a question as to whether the 1911 is a good weapon or not. Its never been a question of whether its a great ccw weapon or not either. For me, its always been a question of "will the person carrying that 1911 remember to disengage the safety when drawing the pistol"? I am...
