    For My Forum Friends - The 2026 Ultimate Carry 1911s: $39,900

    I’d love a Damascus 1911, but that pattern is not very nice. And where is the Damascus steel from? A lot of it comes from Pakistan, believe it or not. They just say artisan forged. Those lucite grips are pretty trashy for a $40k gun. At least make them from Baccarat crystal or recycled Louis 13...

    Too Much Fun at the Range

    No. In fact, a lot of the things that people mentioned like a spongy trigger I did not encounter. I put a 10lb recoil spring in it. Lubed it with gun butter and ran 124gr NATO and it ran flawlessly. I drilled out a 4 in target at 15 yards with pretty rapid shots no problem. I would say it is at...

    Too Much Fun at the Range

    The FRT has become so popular that TX22s have become hard to find.

    Too Much Fun at the Range

    Did a trip to the range with @KillerFord1977 to zero in the new Fusion XP Pro and break out the TX22 PDW. KF brought his Legion 226 X5 and a couple of AP5s. Shot a couple of rounds low with the XP Pro dialed in the dot and got on target, a couple more clicks and then 4 rounds on top of other...

    Should i be worrying?

    Really? Does there need to be a reason. If nude nuns are a cause of concern you might want to stick with The High Road forum.

    The truth about deadly force encounters

    I bet this was great in the original English, but this translation is a bit hard on the grey matter.

    What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

    Added an FRT to my TX22 Competition but it was so hard to control that the side of a broad barn was about the only thing I could hit, so I bought a FarrowTech FX22 chassis for it. I haven’t shot it yet, but I’m confident. And then I decided to add another 2011 to the mix. A Fusion Firearms XP...

    Learn me about Red Dots

    The problem with fixit sticks is the torque driver (the red bit in the photo below) in their pistol optic kit is often too wide to get to the screw holes on a pistol optic because it pushes up against the housing. You need to purchase a bit extension with it.

    Learn me about Red Dots

    This is pretty much bang on. I own an ungodly amount of red dots and this pretty much sums things up. As mentioned, do not cheap out on a red dot - particularly if it’s going on an EDC gun. I would say $200 is the low end of the range for an edc gun. If it’s just for the range then you can find...

    teaching an unskilled shooter

    You gotta walk before you run. You mention this person has bad habits. Back to the basics will help establish good habits. As you know, shooting is all technique and if your technique isn’t solid you’re never getting beyond a certain point.

    Echelon 4.0C with Sharps Grip Module

    I get the point of the Sharps Grip Module - part of which is changeable grips. I just don’t get the point of spending the bucks and then trashing it with grip tape. I guess there’s no accounting for taste.

    Echelon 4.0C with Sharps Grip Module

    So the Sharps Grip Module is great once you slather it in grip tape? What’s the point?
