Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I'm considering trading into this gun. I've never seen one quite like it. It's a Colt El Jefe 38 Super slide on a Caspian wide body frame. Comped, fiber optic sites, 5 mags. Any ideas what it's worth?
  2. My dream sight set would be a TFO front with the Trijicon HD rear. I just don't want to pay for two sets of sights for one gun...
  3. I really like my Dan Wesson PM9. I enjoy my Les Baer .45s, maybe I'll get one in 9mm too someday.
  4. My LAMR mag comes out of my back pocket. Then I have 4 more in pouches.
  5. I'm mainly an M&P guy myself but now have a couple of XDms too. I picked up a 4.5 XDm as a project to see how it matched up with the 4.25 M&P. I put in a drop-in PRP trigger and it's really starting to grow on me. I like it almost as much as the FSS in the M&P. I like the ergonomics of the XDm as well. I only have two complaints on the XDm, 1) is the slightly higher bore. I feel a little more perceived muzzle flip compared to an M&P. 2) is the slide release. I've locked the slide back accidentally a few times with a tight thumbs forward grip. I see that Springer Precision has an aftermarket slide release but I haven't tried it yet. For defensive use, the XDs is my EDC now. Suprisingly low recoil for the cartridge and very accurate.
  6. I picked up a Dremel 4000 series that I really like so far. Wal-Mart had the best price. They beat Lowe's and Home Depot by about $20.
  7. Pretty much. Effort and duration vary a little bit depending on the type of material. Suprisingly, the Glock varied a bit from one end of the gun to the other. Of course that could have been the tool acting up a bit too. On the M&P, the backstrap burns faster than the frame.
  8. Decided to work over some of my guns. Decided to try stippling first. Put some sharkskin on the M&P 9c. I didn't totally wreck that one so I thought I would charge on into the Glock project. Got rid of the hump and added some sharkskin there too. After the pics I remembered to get rid of the square trigger job and enlarge the finger groove while I was there (no good pics of that yet).
  9. I found some of the old info. It started with an article in Front Sight. I believe the initial mistake came with wording for Limited not Production. Here's a thread that discussed it a bit. Old link
  10. I think this might have gotten started from some poor wording in the initial cut at rules changes for next year. It was quickly rectified. I think there's some threads on this forum that discussed it, I just haven't looked for them yet.
  11. You sure about the EMP? Last I saw they only made it in 9mm and .40 S&W. Did they release a new version?
  12. As long as you aren't shooting Production, try the FSS. Pull will still be in the 4.5 range but I think you can change it either direction with springs if you wish. I've got 2, one's at 3.5, the other at 4.5. Really close to my Burwell trigger.
  13. Should be able to. I practice it a fair amount and my index finger hits it nicely. Of course at the range that gun will be utilized its not completely a necessity.
  14. I think it's PowerPoint slides, not a video. Burwell trigger job link
