I really like my Konus, at least out to 100 yards.

I've used and liked the Blade Tech and the Ready Tactical (available at http://cpwsa.com/) The Blade Techs are nice, but expensive, but also sturdier than the Ready Tactical.

Based on the factory numbers, there are a number of non-plus-P .38 Spl. that "should" make power factor: Magtech 38E 38 Special 158 JHP @ 807 fps = 128 Black Hills New Ammo 38 Special 125 JHP @ 1050 fps = 131 Black Hills Remanufactured 38 Special 158 SWC @ 850 fps = 134 Sellier & Bellot...

I don't know about factory CS, but Henning Wallgren (www.henningshootsguns.com) is a great source for factory and aftermarket parts, and he's also a great guy to work with.

For IDPA with a CZ 75, the Comp-Tac paddle works great. That said, I will never buy another Bladetech paddle, although the belt holsters are great.

Does anybody make a IWB holster for a Taser C2? Thanks

I can't say anything about cold weather functionality, but my plain-jane steel witness is considerably more accurate than my SA Milspec. The match should be even more accurate. It's also 10 rounds versus 8 using flush-fitting magazines. Both have been perfectly reliable in 50-90 degree weather.

Mine will shoot 1" @ 25 yards from an improvised rest.

Thank you. I've contacted a gunsmith, and he'll do a trigger job and undo any damage I've done. He thinks I might have bent the sear. I'll send it to him, and I won't shoot it until then. Thanks. However, I did take it to the range before I saw your post. I started with one round per mag...

I recently purchased a full-sized steel witness with a single-sided safety. I ordered an ambi safety, but when I installed it--which, sadly, is the far outer limits of my gunsmithing skills--I noticed something odd. As before, the safety blocks the trigger when I engage the safety, and the...

+2 My brother and I each have one, and we both really like them.

Very nice.

Wow, really good advice from everybody, thank you. The Springfield shop really is expensive. I'm new to having custom work done, and I noticed that Yost will "Supply and install Kart barrel only" for $255, so I figured Springfield would be comparable. Thank you for the alternate suggestions...

I just inherited my father's only gun, a Springfield Milspec 1911. Dad always wanted the gun to look like a Milspec but shoot like a bullseye gun, so I was planning to send it to the Springfield Custom Shop to have some entirely non-cosmetic work done. The plan was to do the following: Fit...

Thanks Ron. In case anybody else wants to date High Standards, a was given a website from a guy on Rimfirecentral that has a list of dates in the public section (www.histandard.info).
