After living the mantra of "never sell, always buy," I'm finding that a few things I bought for one purpose have turned out to not get used. Instead of them sitting in the safe, they're headed to auction with Locust Fork on Gunbroker. I did quite a bit of research and they came highly rated -...

ISP is moving away from the 227, several vendors apparently got their unissued stock and sold them over Labor Day for $799 + $25 shipping. I got one as my first metal-frame non-320 SIG. I'm very impressed - I might actually like it more than my S&W 4506! About a 9lb DA pull and 4lb SA pull...

After replacing one more set of sights on a Glock tonight with Heinie Straight Eight Ledge sights, then looking at how many of my 1911's also have them I came to realize... I like Heinies. There's just something about a big, wide Heinie with a notch so I can put that front post right in the...

With the popularity and cost of .22LR ammo, why does SA not have any .22LR handguns in production? Not even any .22LR versions of a 1911, XD series, Echelon series (this would be amazing), etc. Seems like there's a missing market here.

I spent too much time searching Gunbroker last night for deals and found these. For anyone in Houston/Texas, there are two Houston Gun Collector Association Springfield 1911's w/consecutive serial numbers up on Gunbroker. Mid 90's, HGCA "1 of 400" roll marks, OEM cardboard boxes. As of this...

I own revolvers and I’ve shot them, but I’ve never competed with a revolver until today. Took the 627-5 to steel challenge as a second gun. Factory everything, no spring modifications, no trigger mods. I’d read a lot and watched a few competition runs and the advice often centered around the...

Found a good deal on a PX-9 Duty Comp ($396). While I have a comped MAC DS9, it's a big gun vs. this more Glock 45 sized gun. No idea what I'll use it for other than range fun (maybe IDPA? I think it'd qualify). I've been pretty impressed with TISAS's other offerings, especially their PX-5.7...

Gotta love it!

The Echelon was the first gun I made B class with in Steel Challenge. Time to bring it back out and bump up to A class in Carry Optics. 37.85 ounces with the grip, tungsten guide rod, optic and light. The built in thumb rest on the Icarus grip is fantastic. Took her to the range tonight to...

How many of you have guns tied to famous people, events or places? I'll start. I didn't just get a Briley-made 1911 Fantom F10, I got Wiley Clapp's Fantom F10, in the box Briley sent it to him in. Incredible auction find. And relax - the label address is/was his public business address. Who...

I've recently become more focused/serious around Steel Challenge, working my way up through the ranks. Current target is an "A" classification (75-85% score band) in Limited Optics. Master is 85-95%. I've gone from 62% to 68% to 72% in the course of a month now. Apparently I was in the zone...

For USPSA and Steel Challenge, I like a heavy gun and run similar 2011 setups for Limited Optics and Open (while my Carry Optics gun is my Echelon). Here’s the SCSA Open gun, a MAC 9 DS-D Comp with an MPA DS9 steel grip and furniture. 8 lb variable recoil spring, 15 lb mainspring, typically...
