Paul Burtchell Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Another good 100 round practice session with the new XDm 5.25 tonight. Again, no malfunctions and I'm extremely pleased with the accuracy. I do have the tendency to engage the slide release lever with my right thumb, which keeps the slide from locking back on the last round. No biggie for USPSA, but for IDPA can be an issue. Got to rework my grip just a smidgen . I'm looking forward to shooting my first IDPA match with it on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AggieMM Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Welcome back, you missed some fun matches. BTW - I think that has been the longest amount of time where you didn't purchase, nor sell any firearm.....

Paul Burtchell Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Shot 2 IDPA matches this weekend. First time I've pulled the trigger in 2 months. Put 2 headshots on a Non-Threat on Stage One of the Postal Match. Welcome back !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Burtchell Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Still shooting the 5.25? Yes Sir. I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Burtchell Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Shot one USPSA match in Waco on Saturday and an IDPA match in Temple on Sunday. First time to shoot 2 matches in one weekend in quite sometime. Despite lack of any practice I did farily well at both matches. I shot a good Production Classifier that should help me move closer to getting my A Card. New XDm 5.25 hit the 1000 round mark. Gun has ran flawlessly and is very accurate. I'm getting the bug for another custom 1911. Narrowed it down to 2 choices. 1. Les Baer Custom Premiere II with the 1.5" guarantee and strip out all the fire control parts and replace with Cylinder & Slide components, & add a Dawson F/O front sight. 2. Full blown custom. Decisions, decisions.......... Pistol will definitely be in 45acp this time. Edited November 21, 2011 by Paul Burtchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Burtchell Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Set an appointment for next Wed. afternoon to meet with Virgil and work out all the details of the build. I've had many custom pistols in the past, but this will be the first time I've actually sat down in person and met with the Pistolsmith prior to the build. To say I'm excited would be a tremendous understatement. I've spent lots of time on the phone with Virgil through the years, but have never met him personally.
