A follow up question... Trying to find out what the best 9mm ammo to use for competition shooting. Every search or article says something different. I'm guessing 124 gr in brass casing, FMJ??? Seemed to be average recommendation.

Thanks... I bought some Magtech 9mm Luger FMJ subsonic 147 gr as recommended and went back to the range today and test... The 147 gr was great, no issues, no jams... but then I tried the Stealth ammo again, the same stuff I had issues withy last week, and it worked great too. So go figure. I...

Ya I was sent there and signed up... but now to get some practice in before I embarrass myself. lol Was more just wondering if anyone here participated.

I did a search here for "competition shooting" and "steel plate challenge" and was surprised to not find anything. Does anyone here participate? I was just wondering and looking for more info and tips because even thou I spent 10 years in the Army and 20+ years in law enforcement, never really...

Agreed... keep my Hellcat Pro stocked and clean since its main mission is my concealed carry. Would love to see an article like this for the Echelon thou... since that's my fun Frankenstein range gun.

Hello, Just picked up a Springfield Echelon not too long ago. Took it to the range today for its first shoot. Without a suppressor on it shot beautifully without issue and dead-on target. using Magtech 9mm Luger FMJ 115 gr rounds. I then put my suppressor on, and it shot the magtech's just...

But that being said, I do like to Frankenstein my guns for range days and shoot houses... more then I probably should. BUT like I said, I carry clean and simple, and concealed.

Thanks... got a nice set, just couldn't find the one bit to fit. Thx.

Agreed... that's why my carries are a plain and clean iron sight Hellcat Pro and/or my XDm Elite compact. ;)

I'm looking to remove the sight plate of my Hellcat PRO and put on a Shield Red Dot... The instructions in the manual say simple, remove the 2 screws holding the plate, doesn't meantion what size they are and I'm not finding one in my set, either too big or the next one is too small... any idea...

Say hello to my newest build. A Springfield Echelon with a Holosun green dot, Viridian XTL tactical light with camera, and a JK CCX suppressor. (Now to find a holster for this monster.) Range and shoot house videos come soon... after the coming hurricane maybe, lol.

Just bought an Echelon today and a Holosun 507 competition green dot. I have 5 sets of pins one labelled Screw Kit 1B 507c, 508t, I assume that's the pin set I need but now what? There're no directions on how to change the pins and which ones. I thought I saw a video from Springfield about that...

And so I don't need to start another thread, something totally different, if I'm finally looking for a red, well prefer green dot for my 9mm pistol. I don't want just the dot, I'd prefer a dot within a small circle, so my old *** can find target faster... recommendations? Thanks.

Hello, a little ignorant when it comes to suppressors and such. I already have a ½x28 mount 9mm suppressor for my Hellcat Pro. I was just wondering if I have a 9mm threaded barrel say for instance on my 9mm XDm Elite, (which I don't... yet), that suppressor will fit and work on any with the...

Thanks, really appreciate everyones feedback and advise. After spending the last 4 hours reading and watching reviews, I've narrowed my competition pistol to either the: CZ Shadow 2 for $1300 Springfield Echelon for $900 Sig Sauer X5 Legion (P226) for $2000 Anyone know why the Sig is so much...

Thanks... OK... now looking at that Shadow 2 you recommended. Nice... Q. what's better in competition shooting, a striker fire pistol or hammer, single or double action? Just more research and google just throws out uneducated opinions, usually opposite each other. lol

Long time shooter, target and defense but now that I'm retired and joined a nice private gun range/club I'm looking to get into comp shooting. Almost all my handguns are either 1911's (.45's) and 2- 9mm (XDm Elite and Hellcat Pro for concealed carry. I'm looking to buy a comp gun either the Sig...

Never forget. The tragedies of September 11th, 2001 and Benghazi September 11th, 2012. On this day I woke up in my hotel room in Miami. I was attending a street survivor officer trainer course, and the class didn't start till mid afternoon. So I woke up and turned on the news just in time to...

Welcome from Florida... I've done just that, when I was working that was a required drill, since retired I do it on the range and it's so low at hip level, you'll feel nothing.

I keep seeing people say, "Harley went woke" but I can't find any actual reason why they "went woke". I just started riding 5 years ago after retirement. I bought a big *** Harley Ultra to go cross country in, and I have 5 times now. About a year ago I traded in the big boy for a Heritage, was...
