thanks. looking specifically at the STI spartan IV in 9mm... so it would likely be good in ESP if the barrel is not OVER 4.2", right?

Am I correct that a commander length 9mm 1911 with a bull barrel and no bushing is not legal in any division of idpa?

I'm getting ready to start my son and I on the NRA qualifications courses of fire.(the self-directed stuff).. there is a term that i don't understand.. in the pistol course of fire (defense style, not bullseye), it talks about the position of "standing" in some sections and of "standing, ready"...

seriously considering this as my EDC.. need small and want 9mm... looking for any experiences from folks who actually have owned one of these.. thanks for any and all information

I am wanting to add a single point sling attachment to an a2 buttstock.. will the same endplates that work for collapsible stocks work?

Anyone know where i can find the short reset trigger kit for a p226?

really wanting a wilson combat but really don't have the dough.. if i get one, i'm going to have to sell my lightweight ghost commander (Colt Talo edition) to help fund it.. thoughts????

looking for comments from folks with experience with the Sig SAO setup... thinking of adding one next in a P220 instead of another 1911... do you like it? hate it? any input appreciated.

dagger dog.. thanks for cleearing that up..:neener:

perhaps the dumbest question of all time.. completely forgot it was single action.. I"ll accept the award for dumbest question of 2010? uhhhh yeah.. it takes moonclips.. you cut them up in little pieces and load them through the gate...:banghead::D

looking at the ruger blackhawk convertible in .45 Colt and .45 acp.. am i correct that the .45 acp would require moon clips? if so, woudl the same ones used in my Smith and Wesson work?

so are you saying that the difference is the longer sight radius allowing you to "aim better" and not the gun actually being more accurate?

thanks and keep it coming exactly the kind of real world info i'm looking for.

I have a US Army 1917 .45 acp revolver. it is actually a 1917 vintage gun.. has been reblued which i know has killed collectability.. in very good shape and shoots fine.. but i rarely use it.. can someone give me a wild estimate on value...

Ok, I understand that in general, a longer barrell means more accuracy, all other things being equal, and i think i understand why.. my question is, how much difference is there between a 4" and a 6" barrell in the same model, regarding accuracy.. let's say more specifically i am shooting...
