As with most things, everyone has their own opinion on this. I always clean and lubricate any new firearm that I purchase before I shoot it. I like to assess the condition of the firearm and get acquainted with it while it's still new just to see if there is any obvious defect that the...

I was referring to how my Prodigy initially had a really noticeable disconnector drag which was pretty well fixed by racking the slide a couple of hundred times to break it in, cycling snap caps through it, and finally with a bit of polishing. By doing all of those break in exercises before it...

I brought home my newest addition today, and BUL SAS II UL. Super impressed with it so far. Quality seems top notch with none of the initial problems that I had with my Prodigy. In all fairness, the Prodigy has been perfect for over 700 rounds, but when it was brand new, it did require a bit...

If I didn't already own a Benelli M4, and have no real need for a second tactical shotgun, the Mossberg 940 Pro would be my choice. Love the way they have incorporated an optic mount into the receiver.

The controversy over flat vs curved triggers has gone on for years and will continue to go on. It depends so much on the type of firearm, but mostly it's a matter of preference of the shooter. On the 2011 platform one manufacturer that I know of has come out with a novel solution, a modular...

Congratulations on your new S&W Competitor. I think you'll like it. I picked up one a couple of weeks ago and have the opportunity to take it to the range on a couple of occasions. After about 300 rounds of several brands/weights of ammo, it has been perfect, no malfunctions of any kind and...

Since these new revolver are from Henry, I'm sure that the quality will be there, but I don't know, they're just weird looking. I can see how the rear of the frame being extended would make it easier to have a higher grip which would in theory help reduce muzzle flip, so that's a good thing. It...

What oil to use on a firearm is one of those things that we will be arguing about forever.' To throw another possibility into the fray that I don't think has been mentioned, I like to use Mil-Comm MC-3000. Mil-Comm describes it as a "semi-fluid lubricant". I call it a cross between oil and...

There are a lot of people who would say that $1500 for a Springfield Armory product is way too high and yet there are a lot of people who paid $1500 for their new Prodigy. When the KDS9c has been out for a while, it will be available for a lot less that the $1500 MSRP that it shares with the...

I was just checking this little Kimber out. Looks mighty impressive regardless which color you choose. I think the all aluminum frame (no polymer grip) with no grip safety and the G10 grips look classy and will open up new customization possibilities with different grips, although the ones...

At the risk of sounding kind of argumentative, let me say that the post I was replying to was the question asked by Stonezy511 when he asked for recommendations about a new purchase. I mistakenly mentioned that I replied to the OP, and was wrong and I should have been more clear. In my defense...

If you would read the original post the OP said that he did not want a Rock Island so I didn't even consider that in my reply.

While it's true that the Prodigy intro hasn't been without its problems I don't think you should overlook it. It offers unmatched value in the 2011 offerings and it seems that the problems have been addressed and most new Prodigies are coming through trouble free now. Not many new models are...

No, I didn't file the bottom of my grip. If I did shoot in competition I might consider it because when you shoot competitively you do everything possible to eliminate any accidents and to a competition shooter his firearm is a tool, nothing more and they really don't worry about the looks of...

I did install a Dawson Precision Gen 2 magwell on my Prodigy 4.25". It is a snug fit and a tap or two of a rubber mallet does help. I did not grind down the ribs on the side, nor did I blend the bottom of the grip to the magwell. I know a lot of people do, but I just have a hard time taking a...

If this thread is open for all SA models my vote is for a Prodigy 10MM.

I was surprised with the P320 too. I know there were some problems and numerous reported accidental discharges in the beginning, but that was what, 6 or 8 years ago, and I'm not sure if that was ever determined to be Sig's fault or not. Sig did do the voluntary recall thing and I haven't heard...

While I don't disagree with you, I think Outlaw was going on the premise that when you buy a new firearm, it should operate reliably from the git go. It shouldn't have to be sent back to the factory to be brought into perfect working condition. So in that sense, I think he was perfectly correct...

I almost hate to say this, but the Magshack has them for $27, so if you need any more...
