sturmruger Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 I first tried shooting IPSC at my local club with a Steyr M9. As soon as the timer first went off I was hooked on action pistol shooting! I started looking around for a gun that would be easier to find accesories and mags for then my Steyr. I found a guy in Southern WI that was selling a XD40 for cheap. I bought that and shot the whole summer of 2004 with it. After that summer I started getting an itch to put together a real dream gun for production. I wanted it to be perfect and knew that Rich over at Canyon Creek would be able to do the job. Exactly a year ago I got my XD9 from Rich. It was like a dream come true, it fit my hand so well I immediatly started shooting better. This year I wanted a gun to shoot in Limited 10 so I sold me Service .40 and bought a nice XD40 tactical to have Rich work on. I just got it back from Rich about 2 weeks ago and have been wanting to post a few pics, but haven't had time to get some good quality shots. Here is a list of what I had Rich do. Trigger Job $135 Slide Lightening $165 Install Dawson FS $20 Tripp hard chrome $130 Skate tape wrap $5 I thoght it would be nice to take a few pics of my old gun. It has a spray on finish that my holster scratched to hell, so it doesn't look as good as it used to. Here are a few shots of both of my competition guns.
sturmruger Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 Ya it turned out really nice. Now I have to start saving my money for a nice 2011 so I can shoot limited. Rich does fantastic work I can't say enough good things about him.
R/T Performance Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 That Slide looks so sweet.To bad I plan to shoot production I would send mine out did it speed the slide cycle up? Nice piece you gonna let me hold it at the group shoot maybe even pop off a few Later Rob
sturmruger Posted March 7, 2006 Author Posted March 7, 2006 Actually I am going to charge people a dollar just to be able to touch it , and two dollars if they want to shoot it. As for speeding up the slide I am going to have to get my timer out and see what kinds of splits I am getting.
