  1. hmm, multiple people reporting not receiving the shoes from china worries me lol guess I'll be on the hunt for another affordable trail shoe
  2. Considering purchasing a pair of these chinese Salomon's but concerned about longevity. To those above that have/had them, did you strictly use them for range work or did you use them for other purposes such as trail walking etc? I seen some reviews on youtube that say they are toast after like 6 months, if not less, of regular use
  3. Currently have some older Ghost 360s that were given to me when I purchased my Shadow. They work ok, but the attachment to the belt is bulky and takes up a lot of space. With production, my mags end up wrapping around farther than I'd like towards my back. Considering some DAA Racer vs Race Master pouches. Is the cost of the race master worth it over the plastic racers? Is there another mag pouch I should consider? or should I just suck it up with my Ghost 360s lol
  4. I'll echo what Kilrb and Psyops said. Initially I thought it was cool to see the graph and scores but that quickly went away after the 3rd or 4th time playing with it. I got rid of mine already.
  5. Lol I totally agree with you there. I played with my buddies XFive and man... that trigger Had high hopes for the gun too. After APEXing my M&Ps, it's hard to go back to a mushy trigger. Now my CZ Shadow trigger is another story...
  6. I agree with all ya'll. I dropped the apex kit in my M&P 2.0 without changing the trigger and man, it's a dream. It's not perfection, but its pretty dang sweet. Super happy with how it turned out
  7. Problem is, I have a slight astigmatism that makes most red dots flare a bit, which might make the triangle even larger.
  8. Did some more research, now looking at getting a Deltapoint Pro. Now I'm struggling with 2.5 vs 7.5. I would like a bigger dot (6 I though would be a good sweet spot), but 7.5 seems larger, and I'm a little offput by the triangle. Is the triangle that big of a deal? Would I be better served with a 2.5? This is going on a CO gun that I also ccw and use for HD
  9. It's not actually fake because model# 91254 and 91256 are technically discontinued
  10. Oh ok I see it now. B_RAD is correct. The part #s 91254 and 91256 were nitride only (black and blue grips respectively) 91257 is the new part number for Shadow 2 and it's nitride with polycoat on top.
  11. http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-shadow-2-black/ Says discontinued in 2017. What gives? I thought these were pretty well in demand still. Is there gonna be a new gun reveal at Shot Show in 5 days?
  12. you guys are making it really hard not to grab a pair from SRS tactical lol. Whats the difference between the Pro and Pro-x?
  13. Hmmm... I have howard leight impact sports for years without issue (on long range days, I try to take them off as much as I can to let my ears "breathe"). Tax refund is coming back with some $$$ and thinking about upgrading my gear a bit. Those with the MSA Sordins, are they really worth the price tag?
  14. This is the biggest difference to me. I originally got my Trijicon RMR 3.25MOA dot and thought, dang thats a large dot. Then I put on my glasses, and it's way way way smaller than I originally thought. Sucks to have astigmatism Thinking about laser surgery in the near future.
  15. Federal primers are my go-to, but if I dont have any on hand, I like to go with Winchesters. My buddy's P320 hasn't had any problems with winchester primer-loaded rounds that I've made for him. I can normally find winchester anywhere.
  16. eh, I agree with the rest of the guys who say draw + 2 would be better practice as you can look at your draw + 1 shot time (on the timer), and also keeps you honest with a good grip for the 2nd follow-up shot. You can get a decent draw+1 time just from indexing on a "not so good" grip, but that second shot will let you know if your grip is rock solid.
  17. Interesting thought lol. I generally pick red as i also use RMRs with red dots on other weapons (benelli M4, AR15), so a glowing red dot = go for me
  18. Bayou bullets, but have heard good things about Blue Bullets. Next order gonna be with Blue unless someone can absolutely sway me otherwise?
  19. TacTrainers looks sweet, but man are those targets pricey lol
  20. I get that, but is my thumb placement and resting it on the left side the issue?
  21. Hey all, Ok so I've been trying to figure this out for a while and it's killing me. When shooting my CZ Shadow, the sights track nice and smooth, nearly vertical up and down with that glowing red hot fiber optic. Being that it's a full metal gun, my own reloads 9mm with 124gr barely making PF, the recoil is quite tame. I was shooting around with my buddy's new M&P M2.0 Compact using factory ammo and the sights were manageable, but kept tracking up and to the right. Made it more difficult for follow-up shots. Can't figure out why it's going up and to the right. My grip is thumbs forward, and I rest my support (left) hand thumb on the slide/frame. It could be that I am pushing against the slide/frame during shots which is causing the front sight to drift to the right during the recoil impulse (but this doesn't happen with the CZ, at least not to the extent that it does on the polymer framed M2.0 compact). For all you that shoot thumbs forward, are your thumbs touching the handgun at all? I would assume so, but maybe I've been doing it wrong this whole time. Trying to figure this out. Thanks
  22. Red works well for me, but now I'm intrigued by that link above and might do some experimentation lol
  23. I use random 2-5sec delay just to give some variance while I'm practicing alone. I use 2-8 when practicing with buddys to throw them off
  24. Travis Haley has a video with the same concept (i know, i know lol) but he describes the movements as pointing your hips at your target, or squaring them up. I think I used to do this a little instinctively, but now that I'm more aware and exaggerating the concept a bit, I feel that I can transition smoother, faster, and have a more stable platform while engaging multiple targets.
  25. Echo the above, but I don't count shots, I count misses and adjust accordingly. Been working ok so far
