Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Yes they are. They have some differences in the controls and I do not think most of the parts are compatible. By many accounts build quality and reliability is better than typical SIG, but I do not own one, just going by what I've seen online.
  2. The only factory pistol that meets all your specs is the Arex Zero. Comes in a factory optics ready version, manual safety (as well as decocker), alloy frame, compact service pistol size. I would highly recommend getting a P07 and getting it milled for an optic. Great gun and works great with optics like the RMR/Holosun. I would also highly recommend learning to run the gun in DA and going with a decocker instead of a safety, but of course that is your choice.
  3. Well since you asked.... 1. Recoil charactaristics: the beretta recoil system gives a "less violent" recoil impulse vs a browning tilt locking system, and the lightweight slide means the reciprocation of the slide has less leverage over your wrist vs a browning tilt locking system. You may find this lowers your split times and makes SHO/WHO shooting easier. In the video above the LTT had less muzzle climb than the S2 despite being almost 12 ounces lighter. In other words, you get the recoil handling characteristics of a 45+oz gun with the transitioning charactaristics of a 34oz gun. Of course recoil is highly subjective so YMMV, but this has been my experience with the LTT. 2. Grip: you may find the shape of the 92 grip and the lack of frame controls allows your support hand better purchase on the grip, further improving recoil handling characteristics and general shooting comfort. 3. Decocker: you get a decocker. The following don't matter for competition, but may be important for carry: 4. Consistency: if you compete with an LTT full size, and carry an LTT Centurion or Compact, your competition gun and carry gun are virtually identical in every way. You have nearly 100% skill carryover between the gun you spend most of your time practicing with and the one you might be trusting your life to. Of course CZ makes carry guns too, but compared to a P01 or P07, an S2 is 1lb heavier, has slightly different ergos, and has different controls (i.e. no decocker), so you will need to spend relatively more time actually practicing with your carry gun to reliably shoot at a high level under stress. 5. Efficiency: with 18rd mecgar mags, the beretta is one of the most capacity-efficient guns out there. The grip length is shorter than a G17, I think shorter than a CZ75, and holds 1-2 more rounds.
  4. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/11/24/lancer-laugo-alien-export/ It looks like the Alien is finally heading for the USA! Has anyone here pre ordered one?
  5. I respect your attitute! Lots of haters in this thread, glad to see you are shaking them off. vision and willpower can make the unreasonable into reality. Will check back in a year and see where you are at...
  6. Beautiful work Twong. If you make one from the Omega version you have at least one sale roght here. Followed by 2 more sales if the flat trigger works for me.
  7. 14 people in under a month looks pretty good compared to...... Steyr forum: 9 people posted in 5 years.
  8. Without a doubt the biggest downside to using Tanfos for self defense are a lack of holsters and a lack of sights. Does anyone make night sights for Tanfos? I sometimes carry my Witness Steel 10mm in an Aliengear Hybrid Holster. I can check which mold I am using if you are interested, I believe it is either a Sig P220R or a G20. The hybrid holster is a very comfortable way to carry a heavy gun; no issues with all day carry. However, it is obviously inferior to a proper molded kydex holster in a number of ways
  9. Along with that, it seems like Steyr and Para could be folded into the "other" category as they get far less traffic than even Canik
  10. The Stock I imported by IFG is specifically designed to be under the IDPA weight limit. Looks like it would be a great option for 10mm.
  11. I would definitely go either .38 super or 9x23. You get more magazine capacity than .357 Sig and they are straight wall cases so much more forgiving to load. With .38 super you can just buy the gun you want and no need to spend extra money with a gunsmith. Load Starline .38SC brass for the best reliability and you should be able to load it very strong. Also factory ammo is very affordable. 9x23 is just a simple reaming of a 9mm barrel. It would be the best option for maximum performance, but you would need to buy pricey brass/ammo. One option would be to just buy a 9mm barrel for your 10mm Tanfo and have it reamed to 9x23. You can use the money saved to buy brass, dies, etc. Of course this may not be as reliable as having the proper 9mm breechface to start with. I have thought a lot about a similar project but havent pulled the trigger yet, let us know how it goes! Would be interesting to see some datapoints for velocity, reliability, durability, and accuracy
  12. Avoid the "UM Tactical" stuff. I have the UM3 and it falls off my SP01 after a box of ammo, regardless of how tightly it is secured. Very strange tensioning system.
  13. If your split times are literally three times what they were with irons.... The problem is a training issue, not one caused by a subtle difference in how the gun handles.
  14. If they make this for the new Stock I with a rear sight plate option I'll most likely be buying one
