    “The Gun”

    Went to the range this afternoon and took four handguns - Gen 2 Archon, comped PDP, my recently acquired VP9F and my old school two-tone VP9. I needed to zero an optic on the PDP and I’m trying to get rounds through the Archon which is new, but I really wanted to compare the “new and improved”...

    Thank God for the HK Pro Forum

    As many of you know, I am a pretty big fan of HK’s products. Well, if you ever think that this forum is just too silly or there is too much goofing around, sign up for a membership at HK Pro. Apparently, the first thing they do after screening for a high degree of curmudgeoness is they then...

    Parker Mountain Machine Comp for Echelon

    Parker Mountain Machine is now offering a comp for the Echelon. I have a PMM comp/barrel combo on my PDP and the difference that it makes is pretty significant. This is also the comp that Walther uses on its factory guns. I will say that it is pretty picky about the ammo it likes - PMM actually...

    Turns Out I Might be Doin’ it Wrong…

    I don’t use anything remotely close to a crush grip. I have hands as soft as a baby’s bum and yet somehow I can rapid fire 5 different guns at 15 yds and hit the bullseye with some regularity. Left to right: USP Expert .45, PDP Pro X, Gen 1 Archon, Gen 2 Archon, Staccato C2 Clockwise from...

    Attn: Vortex Defender CCW Owners

    If you own a Vortex Defender CCW red dot with the 14 hour shutoff Vortex will swap your red dot out for the 10 minute shutoff dot free of charge. I had mine for a year and recently heard this was an option and checked out their website and sure enough you just need to email their Customer...

    Eye Test. Check. Range Visit. Check. Air Out New Gun. Check.

    Had my yearly eye exam and figured since I had to drive past the range on the way home - why not? And I had a brand new gun which I’ve been trying to shoot for two weeks without any luck. The gun is gigantic, shoots .45 acp and demands to be suppressed, but I’ve just had my eyes dilated and...

    What currently manufactured gun would you like to see discontinued?

    SCCY in Miami Blue (or any other color) I could do this all day but I want to let others have some fun.

    If You Run a Holosun EPS or EPS Carry, Beware.

    The screw to the battery tray falling out is not uncommon. It has happened to me twice. Holosun even mentions this in the manual and recommends you Loctite the screw whenever you change out the battery. Tonight I caught it before the tray and battery fell out. The screw that holds the tray in...

    I know there's not a lot of Ferrari fans on this forum, but...

    I'm going to need help selling off a fraction of my gun collection so I can buy this bad boy. This beauty has a balsa wood shift knob where every attempt was made to keep the car as light as possible. I will provide a replica balsa wood shift knob soaked in authentic replica Steve McQueen shift...

    Defying Expectations: The Double Stack 1911 that Defies Expectation

    I picked up a 4.25 Tisas Carry Double Stack over Thanksgiving for $499 from Battlehawk Armory. I figured for that price I could afford for it to suck and I’m pleased to report that it doesn’t. I threw on a Vortex Defender CCW that I had sitting around and finally headed to the range today. 125...

    For All You VP9 Mavens.

    I got a notification today from GrayGuns that they are offering a flat and a hybrid trigger for the VP series. I’m tempted by the Hybrid trigger, but don’t know if I can get excited about rooting around in my VP9. Look up VP9 locking block pin. If you are going to change the trigger on a VP9 you...

    Walther PDP Compact 5 inch Quick Review

    As mentioned on another post I added a PDP Compact 5 to my burgeoning collection of guns from the Fatherland. I finally got a chance to get to the range late Sunday and the PDP performed exactly as advertised. The Problem is I also took along one of my VP9s which also performed as advertised -...

    It’s Come to my Attention…

    That not only do some of you not like the Minions, but some have actually complained to Management about them. To those people I would like to let you know of an amazing reeducation opportunity for all the grouches and malcontents. On July 3 I will be leading a field trip to the Studio Movie...

    Being Serious for a Moment…

    While I was entertaining @xdman and @KillerFord1977 at the Primary Arms Range Day yesterday I was hoping to see if I couldn’t weasel and SLX-3 out of the Primary Arms guys I came across a very interesting new pistol red dot that will be announced later today from, of all people, Olight. It is a...

    Interesting email from Daniel Defense

    I sent my DDH9 back to the mother ship three weeks ago after it started keyholing badly, among other issues. Today I got this email blast: THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE OF THE DANIEL H9. At Daniel Defense, our customers are central to everything we do —...

    Signess? How About Sig Fever?

    I picked up Sig Custom Works 226 X5 this week after debating for some time. When I ordered the gun I knew I would be putting a red dot - a Romeo 1 Pro - on it so I also ordered an elevated rear sight with suppressor height sights. The X5 has a 5 inch barrel, a gas pedal take down lever, extended...
