    Check out the Webley MK VI we found on an insurgent

    I don't think Neil Young's song projects the idea you intend.

    My grip slips ?

    if it is your weak hand that is slipping it may be because you do not have a good grip on the gun. Try to make sure the heel of your weak hand contacts the grip of the pistol (it should fit just behind the tips of your fingers of your strong hand and before the heel of your strong hand. wrap the...

    Smith & Wesson model 520 .357 magnum

    I was never aware my 19 was broke. personally i always liked the K frames better than the Ls, but it isn't like there is much choice now. I would like to see a 3" though.

    My grip slips ?

    Try applying some grip tape (you can get it a lowes, home depot, etc) feels like sand paper, is usually black and provides a good grip surface. (skateboard tape is basically the same stuff and works just as well)

    IDPA and IWB?

    I used a blade-tech IWB for years in IDPA. It isn't as fast, but I wasn't good enough for it to matter :)

    IDPA Carry Gear?

    A good kydex holster (like a blade-tech or comptac) will serve in both sports. A straight drop is probably faster (in IDPA you cannot have the muzzle canted forward, but you can have it canted back). A good one (which has tension adjustments and is made of sturdier kydex, will probably run 50-75...

    STI VERSES OTHER HIGH END 1911'S

    Depends on which STI you are talking about. A custom STI would be at least equal to those you mentioned. But which model? An Eagle? nothing really to compare there. Lawman? probably about the same. Edge? I have two STIs (a VIP and an LS) both are excellent guns. The VIP is one of my favorite...

    Model 19 vs. Model 15

    I think the 19 is the best 357 ever made. I like the shrouded ejector (looks mainly revolvers without shrouds just don't look right to me) I like the ability to shoot magnum loads if I want (not that I do) but most of all i like the feel. I like the extra heft (not really weight per se but it...

    Shot my 2nd IDPA match this evening, now I'm hooked.

    Good job. I don't want to tell you how long it took me to make it through a match without a proceedural. first i was reloading when i needed to, or reloading on the move or not staying behind cover, shooting in the wrong order ... it was quite an adjustment. i think the hardest thing for me...

    Rounds at IDPA matches?

    50 rounds is a little on the low end around here (probably because most poeple i know wouldn't get out of the house for 50 rounds) I would say at the different clubs in this area we probably average about 75-90 rounds. Most places run 4-5 stages. One of the things I think would bring more...

    So, who really carries their HP's?

    I carry mine all the time. I have two in fact, one a basic blued Mk III Browning and another worked over by EGW. Usually carry Bladetech IWB, sometimes in a Galco NSA. I don't have a problem with C&L (in fact that is my prefered mode of carry) The gun isn't going off unless I pull the trigger. I...

    S&W 952 for comp. shooting Y/N?

    Sorry I didn't know the 952 was SA (why on earth would you put a safety on the slide?). This would rule it out for production. It isn't the LAMR part where the I disengaged the safety it is more a problem in IDPA matches, I had some mags in the past which didn't always lock the slide back...

    Potential Armalite pistol models

    That K2 looks interesting. I wonder how the mainspring is housed. It looks like the grips are plastic and wrap around, I wonder if they fix the mainspring like SMith does, like Sig does or something else. I think I will get one of the megas just for the square trigger guard alone. any idea on...

    STI 9mm Magazine ?'s

    I find the Sps prices usually equal about the same thing I pay around here ($60 for finished 140 mm mags). I will admit I load my 9mm a bit long OAL 1.153 (not that long as they still cycle in all my other 9mms) I use super mag bodies and followers in competition and haven't had a problem...

    S&W 952 for comp. shooting Y/N?

    you can also shoot both guns in IPSC production (952 is DA right?) you would be down a round, but that really isn't that big of a problem usually. (In fact in IDPA I almost prefer the 9+1 configuration because our club tends to shoot mostly double taps and i end with a slide lock after a target...

    STI 9mm Magazine ?'s

    compete away (score's the same for A zones and misses ;)) My main USPSA gun is a SV I had built -- in 9mm. I use super mags in mine. you may want to look into SPS mags. I am getting ready to order two of theirs I hear good things about them.
