    165 Grain 40 S&W Is It Dead?

    My first pistol was a Glock 22, followed by Glock 23s. The .40 S&W is still my favorite but the SA .45 ACP Ronin is giving it a run for the money. As far as 165 gr .40 S&W, still out there, slightly more expensive than the 180 gr (most common/popular), and the 155 gr can still be had. Guess...

    Can SA 1911's be modified to fire .45 Super?

    First of all, just curious. Was looking for .45 FMJs, checking muzzle velocities when I ran across .45 Super ammunition. MFG web sites indicate same outward dimensions as .45 ACP but require modifications (stronger springs) and not all .45 ACP 1911s should be modified to fire the .45 Super. I...

    Dot vs Circle Dot

    Circle dot on my Glock 23, my GLock 19, my AR, my 300 BLK, and a simple dot on my 1911....depends on the gun, what you need it for...I think 10mmLife nailed it, for me the circle-dot makes target acquisition much faster, specially while moving... But think about it, most pistol circle-dots, the...

    What about corrective lenses?

    So I purchased my first red-dot pistol sight because I was having issues resolving the front/rear sight plains. Turns out I was developing cataracts in both eyes. But the red-dot (actually a circle-dot) made the world of difference for me. Even after the corrective surgery, I still love my...

    Questions for those who’ve used both a Red Dot and a Holographic sight on same weapon

    For me it was the difference in price with Red/Green Dot $ to $$$, while holographic sights $$$$+. Holographic sights use laser to project image, supposedly better for long range precision. Red/Green Dots use LEDs to do the same... Comes down to price/preference...I have 5 to 6 red/green dots, 1...

    Large Gun Safe Input Needed

    I chose Secureit, you assemble it (interlocking steel frame and shell) and I could get it upstairs without a moving company.

    red dot options whether in green or red

    I use the Holosun circle/dot as well on both pistols (32 MOA Circle) and ARs (65 MOA Circle but use the dot mostly), use an Eotech on one of the ARs, love the circle dot for fast ranging, use the dot for aiming.. I find in training with shooting while moving the circle is far easier to sight...

    Ratcheting gun belt?

    Have a Kore belt. Love the adjustable side based on what I am carrying. Between my Glocks and my 1911, lets me tighten based on load. OK, also, truth betold, those of us with how shall I say it kindly, varying girths , the ratchet means it always fits (yes, trimmed mine a little long on purpose).

    GLOCK’s New OEM 15-Round Magazines Big News for G43X, G48 & G44 Owners

    Both my wife's 43X and my 48 have been modified to use the Shield S15 mags. Generally we use the S15s for range and training. The 43X seemed a little "sensitive" with the shield mags and has demonstrated FFDs with enough frequency that she carries the Glock 10rd OEM in her CCW. So I like to try...

    Springfield Echelon 4.0C Viridian RFX11

    I've had good luck with my Viridian RFX11 as well (Ronin 5" .45 AOS), had to adjust and zero but had no issues adjusting, and I've put at least 450+ rounds down range. Maybe not the best but works for me (not to say there may be quality issues, just not mine).

    New to 1911s, not shooting...how to hold the 1911...

    First of all, thank you all for the suggestions, much appreciated. I ended up ordering a Garret Holster, a Kydex holster with a bonded leather lining. I'll post a picture with the Ronin when it arrives, lol, in 3 to 4 weeks.

    New to 1911s, not shooting...how to hold the 1911...

    Pretty sure my Ronin is now "broke in"...latest trip to the range, ran over 100 rounds (Fed Amer Eagle 230gr) through 4 factory mags and three Wilson Combat mags, with no FTFs...:>). Now I need to ask, holsters, where can I find a quality holster (OWB, Leather)...any recommendations? Found...
