Recce here and mine does dime size groups at that range...

About 3 minutes... 200 acres of pure shooting bliss. I love having it literally down the road.

Hello and welcome... I have a 229, and its one of my favorites. Even being a southpaw, and having less than friendly controls for us lefties, it's still one of my best shooters and most fun to shoot.

Love the name zoomer!

I just received my new comptac and it looks solid. Haven't had a chance to run it through the paces, but quality is good, as are the parts. Seems pretty tight, so we will see when it breaks in a bit. Overall pretty pleased with it.

Been there. Sat on the floor of my vet office with my golden retrievers head in my lap when they did it. Bawled my eyes out. It is just like losing a family member, and we were all very sad for a long time. Hang in there...

Got the ammo at took it to the range today. I swear I was 1 inch hole after 50 rounds at 7 yards. Going to shoot some steel tomorrow. Springer trigger and all the rest is AWESOME. What a great purchase!

So after years of rifle reloading I tried cleaning a mixed batch of .45, 9mm, and .40 along with some rifle cases that were in a mixed bucket. Out the ALL in the tumbler and when i pulled them out I had a total mess of 9 stuck in the 40, and those stuckin the 45s. Total freakin mess. The walnut shells all holding it all together like glue. Had to sacrifice a bunch of 9 cases with a needle nose to get them apart... Lesson learned not to mix the pistol brass!

Ties will be de decided at 10 paces!

Have a great day, and thanks for my new toy!

Yep, all the time. Between my Front Sight mag, rifleman, and G&A, it's always on the brain... The forums don't help much in that regard either!

+1 on the comptac. Love mine so far .

Wow, thanks for all of the responses. It's great to see all of the options! I am a 1911 guy too, so I may check that out.

I just shot a speed steel match and lots of folks had .22 pistols. It looked like a bunch of Rugers, but is there one recommended above others? Hi Standard? Is there one that can be customized more easily down the road? Sorry if this is the wrong forum... Thanks!

I have a trp, and absolutely love it. I have looked at the RO, and if it shoots as well as mine, you won't be disappointed.

Best show I've seen in a very long time. Sharp,edgy, and every week can't wait until the next one.

I just ordered the 9 mm bi-tone version, and it should be at my FFL tomorrow. Had the trigger redone, grip safety, sight post, and extended mag release. This is my first xdm, and have been ogling them for a year now. I'll post a review once I have had some time with it. SP was great, and and had it to me in about 5 days. Only problem I have is I can't find any 9mm ammo. 1 local chain shop was selling boxes of ww white box for $24/50. Said it is the only way to 'stop the frenzy'. Needless to say I'm still looking...

Update-- I came home to a package on the front step today from SA, mags in box. Ordered them Thursday, arrived today...

I think it was $15. I hate waiting and given the demand, I figured better safe than sorry.

I ordered two from Springfield directly today. The saleswoman said they have them but that it's 6-8 weeks to receive them due the huge number of orders--unless you want to pay extra for faster shipping, then you bump to the head of the line. I'll repost when I get them and we'll see...

Born and raised in R/C! BHS grad in '89. Welcome to the group!

Greeting from Oregon everyone. I had the opportunity to shoot at the Douglass Ridge Training Match not long ago, and had a blast! Everyone was really helpful and open to having us 'new' guys there. Thanks to all of you who made it a great time. I can't wait to get to the next one. I also want to thank all of the posters here, as I've been lurking around for the BE forums for a while now and reading as much as I can. Although I've been around competition for a long time, I've never tried any of the practical shooting events, and I can say now that I wish I had gotten to it sooner. Thanks again everone, hope to see you on the range!
