First off, congrats on getting your permit in NY! Thats not an easy task :) If the indoor ranges only allow lead (and as strange as that sounds I don't doubt it...I live in California and some of the range rules and laws around here boggle the mind), you would be best looking at an...

Ok, after coming home going through it all over again and taking pictures I figured out the problem (sarcasm on)Yay for a high GT score! (/sarcasm off) The end of the spring was catching between the end of the guide rod and the plug which was preventing the plug from going down far enough for...

Zerodefect...I was with you until you said Glock 23. I'm in the process of selling mine, because I don't like it at all. I have small hands and thought I'd love the 23, but after owning it for several years I've only put maybe a thousand rounds through it, compared with the several thousand...

Thanks David! I have the Wilson One Piece 25G, it does have a step in front of the rear flange and I did ensure that the spring slipped over this step to seat against the flange (which was a major PITA to accomplish). I called it the bushing because thats what it was called on a website...

I've got the Milspec and the sights aren't that bad. Just strike me as very narrow, but then again as GLOOB put it I'm used too shooting platforms that "...the top of the slide looks like an aircraft carrier". So for me, its likely that any 1911 sites will look narrow until I get used to...

I've always liked the quality and feel of the Sig's I've had the opportunity to handle, but I can't stand the ergonomics of them. They feel smooth, they feel like they are quality, but when it comes to shooting them, for some reason I hunch up, roll my shoulders forward, cock my head back and...

I realize there is quite a debate about the purpose and effectiveness of installing a full length guide rod in a 1911. I acknowledge that there are good and bad arguments on both sides of this issue, but I've made the decision to install a full length guide rod in my SA Milspec. I ask that you...

For me its, the M9. Not because its inaccurate or anything like that but because I have nothing but bad luck with them. The first time I fired one was in 1992 while a guest of the United States Army at Ft Lostinthewoods MO. The weapon was pretty new (not packing grease new, but new for the...

Thanks all for the comments. It sounds like this is an issue I'll be able to train myself around. I guess I was concerned primarly because I've never this problem before. I shoot both eyes with Glocks and Beretta's without an issue and so picking up the 1911 and not having it work that way...

"...I wont be able to order supplies online." I've been a way for a while, but is soemthing changing in CA that I won't be able to order powder, primers, etc? I had heard you couldn't mail order bullets anymore but as for the components I thought I was good still... As far as the Glocks...

Thanks! I do wear glasses to correct for farsightedness and have since I was a little kid. I also didn't have this issue when testing with the Glock 23 (didn't shoot it, just looking at the sight picture). And CoRoMo, its good to be home :)

Glock 19. And Water-Man its the competitive part of human nature. We all want to be/have the best and this gives us the illision of doing so.

As a reward for returning home from Iraq in once piece I decided to reward myself and purchased a Springfield Arms Milspec. I picked it up yesterday, took it to the range and put 200 rounds through it. Growing up, my Grandfather taught me that you shoot pistols (and shotguns) with both eyes...
