  1. 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.

  2. As most here have, when I had my beloved golden Tyler put down I cried for days. The only thing that put a smile back on my face was the day I brought my new best friend Zoomer home. We now also have a 2 year old also named Dickens and they love each other. Life is too short not to have a dog at your side.

    Love the name zoomer!

  3. 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!

  4. 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!

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. 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!
