All very good recommendations thus far, I would add that there are likely alot of used Ruger P85/P89s available in that price range. Good, solid pistols, high cap mags, very reliable, and very reasonably priced...

A very astute observation, Big Jake!

Got my check in today's mail as well. Already picked up an Aimpoint Pro to replace the Eotech. So far, so good!

I sent mine in Dec. 28, got an acknowledgement email Jan. 15, and so far it's been radio silence. Maybe they're using the same outfit that's supposed to be processing the Remington Black Friday ammo rebates. I sent that one in on Nov. 28 and still have nothing to show for it...

Mec-Gar makes mags for a 'plethora' of OEM firearms manufacturers. Magpul is getting into that end of the business as well. If it is in fact a bad idea 'from an engineering standpoint', then I guess all the major automobile, appliance, electronics, aerospace and a 'plethora' of other industry...

I hear their coming out with one in 454 Formal also....

An old model 12 saved me and my families life many years ago. And I've had my 1200 stoked and at the ready since 1982. Also have a few other brands and can't say the Mossbergs or Remingtons are any better or worse than the Winchesters.

I want to run 250 rounds minimum of my intended self-defense ammunition with zero equipment or ammo-related failures before trusting it for everyday carry. But I've been using the same EDC gun and brand of ammo for several years now so my practice round count is well over 5000 at this point.

I had the same thing happen with an XD-45 Service model a few years back. Slide was stuck shut on a live round, would not fire, and it was a herculean effort to get it open, took about 20 minutes. Inspection of the subject round showed no obvious issues such as a backed-out primer or other. Sent...

I just got my return authorization email and packed up the ol' 511 to return. For those who've already done so, has anybody already gotten their refund?

Follow up: There was an email in my inbox this a.m. from L-3, stating that I did not provide the information they needed to process my return. Basically it was everything I had already provided, sans the purchase price info, which I supplied via return email. There was no input line on the RMA...

I got my 511/A65 in 2008. I've spent more time chasing batteries since then, than actually using the sight. Having bought it originally as a HD sight, I quickly realized that due to the terrible battery life, and the need to adjust the holograph brightness upon activation, it would not be a...

I've had one for a few years now, and have been generally satisfied with it. It is very concealable, and I've not had any functional issues with mine. When breaking it in I noticed it was consistently shooting low, even with the elevation adjustment on the rear sight cranked all the way up. I...

Similar to a few others here, I had my eye doctor craft a pair of 'shooting' glasses. The dominant eye side was ground to focus at the tip of my fingers with my arm outstretched, and the non-dominant side was ground for distance. This gives an excellent focus on the sights, fuzzy on the target...

Phaedrus/69: To answer your questions, I began with Fiocchi 115gr FMJ, and followed with some 115gr FMJ reloads of my own. Both performed the same. Cover hold. As I mentioned, the PPQ I just acquired was grouping this same ammo dead center with no sight adjustments. I contacted HK and it looks...
