    Sig single action vs single action only trigger.

    Shot both a DA/SA and SAO Legion P226s both are great...But the SAO trigger reset was nothing but excellent. Way better trigger overall than the DA/SA in SA. That being said, for duty uses I would choose the DA/SA version. That being said I want a SIG Legion SAO, not the DA/SA. Did not think I...

    Glock 20 MOS with Trijicon RMR co-witness Q&A

    IME, There are no sights high enough to be used with the optic installed, period. To use the regular sights the optic will need to be removed from the slide.

    'striker-fired' pistols - which is best, modified

    Best or not, you will be able to find more everything aftermarket for a Glock than all the rest. I have several Glocks, the only one with an original Glock trigger is a G17, that has the trigger from a G34. Have to have Glock internals for GSSF. Availability of parts and accessories, cost of...

    Sig or beretta?

    I like the Beretta 92 with one exception, the slide mounted safety / decocker. I like the SIG P226, P229, and my first SIG the P239. Comparable to the Beretta I would go with the SIG P226, frame mounted decocker, easier take down IMO. Both are accurate, reliable, big service pistols, Beretta is...

    An addition to my 1911

    I would get a Wilson Combat Bullet Proof they are very good and seem to me to be easier to fit than all the others I have used. If memory serves me you also have to get a hammer pin that is made for the double safety. It keeps the port side safety in place.

    Warren tactical sights hit high? Glock 19

    Personally I would contact Dawson Precision and ask them, they sell more, know more about sights than virtually any retailer. I would guess the front sight is too short for your rear, may have been a mismatched set, IDK. Luckily the front sight on a Glock is the easiest to replace of any pistol.

    I think I'm finally going to get my first Glock...

    I have most of the 9mm Glock pistols, Shoot IDPA, USPSA and GSSF. 2 G34s, G17, G19 and the G26. The only one I do not compete with is the G19, while I shoot it just great, I can shoot circles around it with the G17. If you are not a Master shooter in another discipline then you will be the most...

    Sig P320 First Impressions

    P320 is a modular pistol, "Freedom to change calibers. size and fit" according to the SIG web sight. Nice trigger for a striker fired pistol, nice feel in the hand. That being said I have no need for one, I have the G19 Glock it has been flawless. Sights, magazines, triggers, springs, parts and...

    "Starter" 1911

    Taurus makes a great 1911 for the money, features usually only found on 1911s that cost $400-$500 more. Ambidextrous safety, checkered front strap, full length guide rod, forged frame, and the list goes on...

    Your exp. with SA Loaded Target?

    I had a SA Loaded Longslide stainless 6", never an issue with it, real tack driver. Found something I liked better so I sold it. Only things I did not like about it was the Bull barrel, two piece guide rod and a silly key lock in the MSH that locked the hammer. I would look at SIG for a...

    Black tip 9mm?

    I believe it is a cheap copy of the old Black Talon ammunition that would expand better through hard barriers like doors and plywood. The copies are just a coated projectile or a plastic cap on conventional HP ammunition. Corbon Powerball ammunition uses a plastic ball in the HP to feed like...

    Thinking of a 1911.

    Really inexpensive 1911s from I believe Turkey, I have shot some , they shoot ok, not great just ok. The finish, fit, and quality of the controls, is just too chincy, cheap, for me to want one. Rock Island Armory , or a Metro Arms would be a much better choice for just a little more. For an...

    1911 grip screwdriver

    Hollow ground drivers are for Torx screws with a center tamper resistance pin. They will work with regular Torx as well.

    The Glock 17 is not for me. What to do?

    I like 1911s and I like the Glocks, all of their 9mm models. " But ergonomically I have found it extremely awkward. The grip angle is not for me," RaytheGreat The difference in grip angle from a 1911 and the G17 is only 2 degrees, why do people say they like 1911s but not the grip angle on a...
