  1. I struck a deal for an X-Calibur today actually lol . And I will be purchasing the XTrim as well , going to be a great combo I think .
  2. I'm looking forward to seeing one of these and shooting one .
  3. I'm averaging in the high 200's , I'll take that for being 10 years older lol .
  4. My son is 4 . He sits with me while I break guns down for cleaning and maintenance . He asks alot of questions and as we all know kids are sponges that absorb anything and everything . He now knows how to field strip a Glock , Sig , as well as a semi auto shotgun . I allowed him to shoot some rounds of .22 out of a Mark III with me holding the weapon and helping him along . He's great at it !! My thing with him is safety first and foremost . He does not ask to handle unless I allow it and he's well aware of the ramifications and consequences of what weapons can do to harm others .
  5. Between 9 and 40 , if I could give a rough guesstimate would be somewhere around 12 or 13k . I'll trump that before mid year lol .
  6. Well because it's actually a very good gun . It's been doing very well overseas in ipsc and IDPA championship was won with it . Why wouldn't I ??
  7. I saw that this gun is legal for IDPA SSP , but not legal for USPSA Production as of yet , which is interesting considering some of the stages at production nationals had banners hanging on the walls for this gun . I'm so close to purchasing one , yet find myself holding back because it hasn't been accepted yet .
  8. Yes a hard decision about sums it up . I guess if it makes any sense at all , the SP-01 and Glock 34 were the easiest for me to manipulate fairly consistently . The Grand Power was the best in terms of manipulating , the mag release button is about the size of a golf ball lol ....
  9. I really liked the SP-01 I shot alot . Glock 34 I liked as well . My issue with choosing is I don't have very large hands and alot of these guns I have to flip around in my hand quite a bit for mag changes , it's irritating lol .
  10. I loved that X-Calibur man , I'm really leaning towards that particular gun but I can't shoot it in IDPA . Another one is the Bersa Thunder Pro XT , ironically it's reversed lol , legal in IDPA but not USPSA yet .
  11. Heya guys , I'm moving to USPSA and IDPA full time now and have money burning a hole in my pocket . I have all the necessary gear and items except for yep you guessed it , the gun !! So basically I need some assistance in helping with my decision making process . Being a shotgun shooter for many years I realize the pain in the rear decision it is purchasing a gun to get comfortable with , being there are so many damn choices nowadays . So let me start by saying this , I've fired many many many rounds out of handguns over the years and the guns I have experience with are as followed . Sig P320 Glock 34 Glock 17 M&P Pro 5 M&P 4.25 CZ P09 CZ SP01 Various 1911's Grand Power X-Calibur That being said , I have the emphasis on shooting Production and SSP and I have a really big interest in a Tanfoglio , Stock 2 or 3 doesn't really matter to me , but if I am correct I don't believe they are SSP legal so that trumps that idea . Or possibly a SP-01 Shadow , Which after shooting a standard SP-01 very well I can only assume the shadows are just that much better . The Grand Power was awesome , but I don't see a whole lot of aftermarket support for it and know alot about it other than it shoots fantastic and tracks just as good as the SP-01 I shot . Glocks are well , glocks lol . M&P's accuracy is all over the place it seems so who knows , and the P320 is pretty darn sweet in itself . I'd appreciate any and all comments or ideas and am open to anything . So without anymore pointless rambling , I have $1400 to play with at the moment , so build me a gun !!
  12. I've been in the market looking at the stock 3's . Perhaps I should wait lol
  13. Any idea why this is not on the approved production list ? It's approved IPSC production as well as IDPA SSP . I'm interested in shooting one but cannot get any information as to why it isn't on USPSA's list . Anyone with thoughts ?
  14. Carry gun - M&P Shield or Glock 26 Comp Guns - Sig P320 , M&P Pro 5" , Glock 34
  15. I generally torque in pretty hard and arch my elbows up a bit to keep pressure in . Generally when I do this it flexes all the muscles in my chest and shoulders and my recoil control is a ton better . Only problem is I feel a little bit stiff so that's something I need to find a balance with .
  16. I run Dawson sights , springer base pads ( short version because the factory base pad lip makes me want to vomit its so annoying ) , guide rod , 13 lb spring and WAS using a storm lake barrel . Now since wilson combat does m&p barrels I use one of them and the accuracy is AWESOME
  17. I had a similiar issue when I first got my 5" inch pro series . I experienced the sear flutter and ended up changing the housing block and went with an APEX hardened sear and haven't had the issue since . I went so far as to put all apex parts in my m&p's with no issues whatsoever . Like people have said don't give up on it , just remember guns are small machines and all machines have parts issues at one time or another .
  18. I use the competition spring kits in all my m&p's but I do use the stock trigger return springs . With the kit you get a pretty darn light pull but the reset is blah so get a RAM to go with it and you'll be set .
  19. I usually change my spring every 3000 rounds or so , but I shoot alot of competition stuff so they get abused quite a bit .
  20. I also have both and prefer the 5 inch . I like the longer sight radius
  21. Sign me up , I want to check one of these out myself !
  22. I shot a spartan and wasn't impressed at all . Didn't group well and was very finicky on ammo , more so than any 1911 that I had ever handled or shot . I picked up a trojan and that gun is awesome .
  23. 13 lb spring myself as well . My longslide seemed to function better with it . IF I went any lower even with shooting 147's it was hit or miss to return to battery .
  24. I use good old CLP , and for lubing I usually use extreme weapons grease by slip 2000 . Altho recently I did pick up some slide glide and I must say I am definitely impressed .
