I am both. I always thought being good at one would help me be good at the other. Tin cans, chipmunks, small birds and paper targets were my favorite. Growing up my Dad had a liberal wife/stepmom who did not understand the allure of hunting. So that meant no hunting for my brother and me. Now I...

Yes its the Remington. The BAR has a squared receiver not a nice rounded one.

I have owned both and I prefer the XDM over the Glock due to the (FOR ME) better; feeling trigger out of the box, higher capacity magazines, grips, accuracy, and support from the company. I find the grip of the XDM is fills my hand better than the Glocks. I can do without the grip safety as it...

The XD and XDM are both fine weapons and if you have one good for you. It is great that we live in a country that allows each man to make his own decision about where he wants to spend his own hard earned money. It is also a great place because we are not limited to what is or is not used by the...

It would depend on many variables. Are you bugging out or bugging in? Are you in the city or country? Do you have the extra 200 for the tax stamp and gunsmith fees to SBR your rifle or would you be better served by buying ammo? How many bullets can you carry. Can you afford to train with the...

Ranger30-06 "This is because the 1911 was originally a loose gun." The originals were not loose. They were tighter than what you think. They were not Les Baer tight but they did not rattle until the military got a hold of them. Of the three I am willing to bet the average shooter is not...

The title of the thread is "1911 Half Cock Question." During my armorer training in the Army Condition 2 was on the half cock position. MEUSOC does carry in condition 1.

Yes you can carry the 1911 in half cock. I have found that it is not the preferred way with the newer 1911 commander hammer. With the 1911 and 1911A1 people were trained to carry in Condition 2 during combat when not in immediate need of the pistol. For the US soldier condition 3 was designed so...

I sense a tone of someone having the case of a need to know what my credentials are before I can speak about anything further on this board. BTW winning an argument on internet is like winning the special Olympics, even if you wing your still retarded, but I will play along. I am a combat vet...

I have been shooting the 1911 for many years professionally and privately. As an Instructor I can spot an amateur shooter by how they carry their weapon. Their level of skill when I put them on the clock becomes evident very fast. Normally the guys who have combat focused training use condition...

I have used the Aimpoint, ACOG, and EOTECH in a combat zone. I will try to give my impressions of each one. Aimpoint - is a good optic and many of my Bn swore by them. I found that the small red dot gets lost really fast with my eyes. The new comp 4 is awesome in its battery life. It uses a...

"Serpa Holsters are .mil issue." When I was overseas nobody in our infantry battalion was issued Serpas. I know for a fact that the issue was crappy nylon holsters. Additionally, every one of the Serpa holsters were bought by individuals not buy our units.

I have never heard of these folks. It would appear that they either just got started or are going out of business. Their website does not have much by way of products or equipment. They do have a flash hider that looks like it works well.

Really. You wonder why someone wont let you mess with their product. You may think "No big Deal." However, why don't you try 5 people a day doing this to a brand new pistol that still has to be sold. If you came to a store I worked in I would say the following things: Don't let the pistols slam...

The Grip is reduced by the interchangeable back strap. It might not be like shaving the pistol and melting the thing down. Just so you know i was not looking for an argument. I was commenting on the C&S marketing ploy. The trigger job that they do is most likely polishing the trigger bar...

Very well since this is the internet I will justify myself to a complete stranger Girodin..... Dealer price and military price is not that different. I know due to being in the military and my friend is a dealer. He gets great prices I guess. "A grip reduction comes standard from the...

Where to start. * Pistol - Ok a 250-300 dealer. * Grip Reduction - 120 or 200 tops. * Remove Finger Grooves - part of the melting job. * Wrap Around Stipple 360 degrees - a soldering iron can do it really fast. * Scallop Frame at Mag Catch - Why? * Recrown barrel 11 degrees - there is a...

Paul's class is amazing. I was at the Oct 09 instructor class and it was one of the best learning experiences I have had in a long time.

Well brother, I will say you have selected 2 really good pistols. I have owned the 220ST and have shot several xd45's. I prefer the XD for the following reasons; less weight, better capacity, I shoot it better, plenty accurate, inexpensive magazines, and popularity has grown so more holsters...

I am gonna have to say who cares. Colt bought the design from Browning and has reaped all the benefits. They are unoriginal in that it took them nearly 80 years to move away from the Original design.
