      S&W Dealers, please read

      I suspect its just a logistics issue. One version that meets all the gun control requirements more stringent than what the standard configuration meets. It is be more cost effective to only supply and manage two configurations than six (one for each state and then one for the free world)...

      Whats everones favorite Glock?

      Yes. The G17L is the same as a G34 except for the barrel / slide length, i.e., 6.02". The G24 is the same as a G35 but with the 6.02 barrel / slide. I have a G35 and G24, both are excellent guns and it would be hard for me to pick one over the other. I got them both as game guns (IDPA and...

      2011 MD State IDPA After Action Report

      My camera is an older version of this: http://contour.com/camera/contour_hd It has 720P HD resolution, the current models are 1080P. I zip tied a mount to the top of my ear muffs. I've seen a couple different brands / designs used but this one is petty simple - no cords or separate...

      9mm NATO

      +1000 6" at 7 yrds is just messed up. Is this typical accuracy from this model gun as tested in shooting mags or other reviews?

      2011 MD State IDPA After Action Report

      Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. There were two of use in the squad with hat-cam's. Would have been three but one guy left his at home. The video is useful as I often see where I could have done something differnt and saved some time.

      2011 Maryland State IDPA Match Information

      It was a great match. The stages were straightforward but challenging, all the staff / RO/SO's did a great job, and everything was smooth. It was a real pleasure to shoot. Thanks for all the hard work and long hours, it paid off.

      45acp for IDPA

      45 ACP at a "low" Minor PF (~125-130) is a complex issue. I can be done but it is not simple because you are running components out of their normal parameters: 1. Gun: spring rates need to be adjusted or the gun operates slow and may not be reliable. If not adjustable then you may get to...

      m&p9pro slide closing on its own

      Both my Glocks and my M&P Pro do this ~99% of the time. My stainless steel 1911 does it frequently as well. Unless the slide is not picking up the round, don't worry.

      How do you really feel about Continental Arms in Timonium?

      I've not been there as I live in Calvert County so I did not vote, but I've talked to them a few times at gun shows and via phone about ordering in a gun. Generally good service and given the option of ordering from them or buying on the interwebthing plus shipping, transfer fees, and getting a...

      Blued or stainless?

      Stainless is corrosion resistant and the metal is the finish so if you get a scratch it can be polished ore buffed out without having to refinish the whole gun. However, stainless can gall easier and is a bit more brittle that in the long run may be less resistant to repeated shots . Regular...

      Good bullet for USPSA... JHP or FMJ??

      Both should be more then accurate enough even at 35-40 yrds for USPSA or IDPA needs. Buy your gun may have a preference. If you are shooting USPSA 9mm at minor PF either should be fine, use whichever you find cheapest or easiest to use. However, if you are reloading some powders burn hotter...

      AAF&G IDPA Saturday April 9th, i'm in

      You've gotten a lot of good advice but I'll pile on anyway... :D 1. Cover garment - shirts are fine, and I'd say don't spend money until you've tried the game. People call photo-vests as shoot-me-first vests. Sure if you wear one while armed but when you are shooting IDPA its a game, not...

      USPSA shooting at York IWLA

      In short, you need to be very familiar with the controls on your gun, have practiced (safely) drawing from a holster, and be willing to listen / follow range commands to the letter. Then you need to register for a match and attend any new shooter safety briefing given. 300RUM's link is...

      Revolver caliber .45 ACP for the Range and maybe IDAP/USPSA ??

      4" legal for both, 5" is USPSA only. I've been told the 4" gun is faster handling. I've not had the pleasure to shot a 625 but that is what I've been told. I haver shot a 4" Glock 22 and I do have a 5" Glock 35 and a 6" Glock 24. I do think the shorter gun is the slightly faster handling...

      Holster for competitions

      I use Blade Tech holsters for several different guns for IDPA (Glock, 1911, M&P). Properly adjusted it has quite nice retention - more then needed to IDPA and offer a good bit faster draw. I also have some Ready Tac holsters from Chris Stewart and the are very, very fast but less retention...

      USPSA shooting at York IWLA

      Yes I did. Two reasons, one get the LOS close to the bore - makes for easyer transitions to a gun with iron sights. Second is move the mount from over the ejection port - no FTEject's. The gun is in 9mm Major so the shorter cases somethimes (~0.1% of the time, i.e. 1 out of 1000) I'd get a...
