Congrats on the new 19X. Must say I'm jealous of the price. I love mine and I shoot it better than anything else I own. Moving to the large backstrap means the grip fits my hand comfortably, I see the sights better, it balances nicely and it feels like it points really naturally. It's going to...

Don't forget about Twitch. They have a massive audience and the bandwidth to handle it. People like Demolition Ranch have already moved their content over to the site since Youtube started demonetizing gun videos. Movement is slow, since Youtube is a big ship to evacuate, but it will happen. I...

You know...people pay a lot of money to get a "battle worn" finish like that! Looks great to me.

As a brand new owner of a 19X, and my first Glock to boot, I have to say that the way the 19X fit my hand, points and feels were the absolute selling points. I was looking for a Glock specifically so that I can shoot GSSF matches, so it wasn't exactly purchased on a whim. I know the 34 is...

Regarding revolvers, I didn't get to see anyone shooting them, but I imagine keep the muzzle level or down on a revolver reload would be awkward. The problem I had was that we were enough distance from the berms that rolling my right hand palm up and taking the weight of the gun while I...

I totally get the 180° rule and it was a fairly obvious DQ to all of us. All in all was a really good day. I learned alot and got to watch some really good shooters. One of the top 3 overall was in my squad, so it was good to be able to watch them work. I'm still learning the game but I really...

One member of my squad got DQ'd for pointing the muzzle straight up when transitioning around a wall, so it's definitely keep the muzzle level or pointed down at all times situation.

Not an IDPA rule that I know of, but is local to the club. There is at least a possibility of a round landing in a populated area if you were to accidentally fire it over the berm. They're pretty well out in the boonies but it's always wise to keep the neighbors happy :)

Been off THR for a long time now, but coming back since I started shooting more. I shot in my very first IDPA match this weekend at Tri County Gun Club in Sherwood. I shot the day using a Springfield XD 5.25". Managed to do okay, slow and went 18 points down. Managed to flat miss a couple...

It has to do with if the carjacker is found not guilty, he has cause for a lawsuit for libel/slander against the paper. It's the way it was taught in Journalism 101 in college, and what I had to deal with as a copy editor/copy chief in college. Getting off topic anyway, just trying to clarify...

"The alleged carjacker..." It's a jounalism thing. You are innocent until proven guilty. Until he is tried and convicted, he is alleged to have done it. Saves the newspaper from a lawsuit.

We've got ammo in the AF that is still issuable and it's been sitting in boxes since Vietnam. No shelf life to speak of, but I personally like shooting my gun too much to leave ammo in it for too long.

Love the XD9, but... I love my XD, but I kind of wish the .45 had been out when I was in the market. I'm not completely comfortable with the power of the 9mm, but hollow points kind of even the score. I know the XD45 isn't much bigger than the 9 and doesn't feel too much different. Either...

I haven't tried the RemOil for more than one thorough cleaning. I've heard similar things about Breakfree. I'll let you know how the RO works for me after I've gotten some more experience with it.

Thanks for the input. I'll look into it.
