What difference is it if the Sigs are 80-series style pistols? Realistically I mean. I've shot and and I've gone to competitions with both 70's and 80's style models and IMHO, the feeling is minimal. The trigger pull is so minute that you won't notice it in a reaction situation. On the range...

you'll see all kinds of answers on this question. A lot of people are carrying 1911's now-a-days. That has become a common trend since its a 45. That's not to say that a lot didn't carry it before but currently, it seems like everyone wants to carry one. As for me, I currently switch between...

There are so many 1911 manufacturers out there now. If you are planing on having a basic shooter/range/pretty gun it really depends on price. Springfield is a nice pistol. They have MANY different models that can cover all aspects. Colts a the original but can be a bit pricey. Kimber is a pretty...

As mentioned above, you should really shoot that pistol before carrying it. I actually own a C3 and it has been a great shooter. I've carried it for CCW and as a range gun. As with most new Sigs, the first couple rounds are usually a little snappier than the rest. your setting the springs and...

Owned both. Both are good. May I also suggest the S&W M&P45. very nice pistol. Very easy to shoot.

as mentioned earlier, the company was indeed started by some prior Keltec employees. If you see the two companies side by side, they are very similar though SCCY is a little cleaner looking. I've shot them and they aren't bad. In fact, its like shooting a Keltec.

Lots of good information. Basically, it comes down to this: tight tolerances are great for point accuracy. Loose tolerance is good for area accuracy and some reliability. Yes, MOST Mil-Spec/GI-Spec models are a bit looser than most other models. The military preferred a loose tolerance for...

I've used a couple different companies. Some i still use, others, not so much. For OWB, i recommend the Bladetech Eclipse model. Very comfortable and very easy to come by. If you don't mind waiting a couple weeks/months, check out Raven Concealment Holsters. For IWB, Milt Sparks is a very good...

MecGar's are pretty good overall mags. However, I do recommend using either Wilson Combat or Chip McCormmick mags. Very similar in price but they have been tested by MANY, MANY people and have functioned great. If your paying 25-35 for the MecGar, you'll be better off with WC and CMC.

As mentioned above, I'd recommend the conversion barrels for the 9mm, 357 sig, and even the 22. I, personally, am not a glock fan though I cannot deny how reliable they are. Lone Wolf, Storm Lake, etc. Check them out.

My daily carry is my HK USP9 Compact. I've been carrying it for a while and it is a GREAT shooter. I owned a full size M&P 9 and 45 as well as the 9c. Since owning, i've sold off the full size 9 and 45 but kept the 9c to give to my brother once he turns 21. My USP is the LEO trigger with...

Welcome to the HK family!!! You will not regret it. Most, if not all, HK owners will tell you the same thing, "greatest weapon i've ever shot/owned". I've owned many HK's and all have been great. Enjoy your new toy.

Look at the Sig 1911 C3. It is a true commander length barrel with a true officers frame. Steel slide and aluminum frame. VERY pretty (especially the grips). You should be able to find them somewhere between 900-1000 with night sights. They also have a model that is full steel but the C3 would...

If you decide to stick with the 380, I HIGHLY recommend the S&W Bodyguard 380. To me, this is the most comfortable shooting 380 I've ever shot. Again, to ME. I find it easier to shoot and hold than any other 380 i've owned (Ruger/Keltec/Bersa/Etc). I've tried pretty much 380 available but the BG...

I have two different carry weapons. Each one depends on the situation/weather/clothing. My first and definitely my favorite 9mm is my HK USP9 Compact. I went through MANY different firearms and calibers before I decided on the USP as my carry piece. I started out with Glocks to M&P's to...
