I just purchased a used Benelli M1 S90 Tactical. 18.5" barrel, full mag tube (7+1) but the gun is marked as a H&K in addition to Benelli. Two different folks tell me the gun is somewhere between 7 and 15 years ago. Can anyone tell me what years H & K imported the Benelli's? Sort of a starting year and ending year? I also own a brand new Benelli of the same type but it does not say H&K on it. Just inquiring. The gun I purchased is in 98%+ shape and looks like it wasn't used much at all. It does NOT have screw in chokes. Rather, it appears the barrel is a 18.5" IC. It has ghost rings, etc. and looks very very similar to my new Benelli. Thanks, Tom

Hello: This is my first post. I'm a complete newbie to IPSC. My wife and I are taking our initial IPSC safety class this Sunday. She will be using a Glock 17 and I was able to obtain a Kydex holster from Michael's of Oregon, 2 magazine holders, and a belt for her to use. I also purchased 3 10-round magazines as our weapon (owned it since 91) has the older 17 round mags that don't drop out very easily. It's me that has the problem. Last week I selected a Kimber Custom TLE/RL II 1911 style pistol. I can't find a holster that will fit this weapon as it has a rail on it. None of the Michael's holsters will fit it. So, it's now Tuesday evening and I'd like to find and get in my hands pretty quickly a holster that I can use for my class on Sunday. The pistol is 45 ACP with a 5" barrel. My knowledge of IPSC is zilch. My wife and I do SASS shooting and want to step out into other areas. Any help you could give would be appeciated. A friend referred me to the Blade-Tech web site but I could not find a holster for the TLE/RL II. Thanks, Tom My email is tom_vervaeke@yahoo.com if you'd like to send direct email.
