The DW Valkyrie and ECO both look like very nice carry guns. I will definitely have to keep my eye out for a good deal on one. I want to be confident with the gun I carry, even if I have to give up a little capacity compared to my striker fired ones. Thanks everyone for your input.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Last month I did a lot of practice with my striker fired guns, then I got a weird flinch going on when I was competing with with my 1911. It's never boring!

Yeah, it's a small club (around 70 shooters.) They group ESP and SSP together and CCP and BUG together. What I'm mostly asking is, Do you 1911 guys switch back and forth between single action guns you compete with and striker fired guns you carry? Or is it 1911 all the way?

Hi everyone, This year I started competing with a Dan Wesson PM9 in the Stock Service Pistol class at my local club. I've been doing really well with it. The bad news is: it spoiled me. I can't shoot my striker fired carry guns worth a dang anymore. I really have to tell myself "slow down!" or my accuracy suffers. Did any of you ever go through this problem? I'm sure an easy fix would be buy an officer 1911 for the BUG/CCP class and for everyday carry. Most guys I shoot with seem to stick with one platform or another. What are you doing?

I received an early Father's day present, so I should be able to use them at this weekend's match! I like the way they look. The small diamonds offer a lot of traction.

I did order the Techwell aggressive checker grips, although they were confiscated by my wife for a father's day present. Hopefully they'll look as good as the VZ grips that I'm use to. It's good to know that it's possible to make the cut with dremel if needed. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll order the Techwell aggressive checker grips in standard width. Hopefully they look better in person.

I picked up a Dan Wesson Pointman Nine last month, and the only thing I think it needs is a magwell. I really like the nickel plated techwell, but I'm not real crazy about any of their grips (It may just be they're crappy photos online). I emailed VZ, they don't offer the techwell cut. Do you guys know of any manufacturers that do the techwell cut?

Hi everyone. I've been a competitive sporting clays shooter for a long time. Last year I went to a local gun club for a practical pistol shoot, and I've been hooked ever since. I just recently got into progressive reloading pistol rounds and that's what lead me here. I'm really impressed with the amount of information on here (both reloading and competitive shooting).
