    Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?

    I wanted to thank everyone for their kind welcome here and compliments. I know some people have trouble believing what they read in gun magazines isn’t anything more than stroking manufacturers. But as someone who ran Handgunner for 20 years and was publisher of FMG’s consumer magazines...

    Hard to believe, but my first “gun article” was 1982. Yikes! Thanks for your kind words, Snake. Roy H.

    Xdman … It’s nice to be here. My first time with you all. Everyone seems civilized and such, which is refreshing in today’s world. I’ve tried engaging on other forums but invariably it seems to turn into sniping and other nonsense. Thanks for the welcome. Roy H.

    Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?

    You're right, but if you're trying to wring out the best accuracy for a test and don't have your 20 year old eyes any longer, it sure helps. I've found shooting with the Eyepal sort of "makes" you try harder when you don't have it on. Roy H.

    Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?

    That's right, it tosses it out behind the side plate. I never had any issues with it but you do need to keep the grip screws tightened regularly. Roy

    Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?

    Agreed! I still enjoy shooting J-Frames or other small frame handguns at 100 yards or more. Most people just don't have the trigger control needed to hit reliably at long ranges with duty type guns, but they can if you try hard! Witness this Mil-Spec. I confess I was amazed. I'm going to change...

    Tucker, I shot PPC in Southern CA from about 1974 to 1978. I started with a 6" Model 19 slicked up then transitioned to a dedicated PPC gun. And you're right .... I watched Grand Masters eat that x-ring out at 50 yards all the time! It does make shooting closer easy ... Roy H.

    Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?

    Agreed on the dots. I've found cross-hairs always allow much more precise aiming and it's what I tried to use when putting optics on a gun to test for an article in Handgunner. Try one of those Eyepalusa add-ons for your glasses. They honestly work great. Roy H.

    Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?

    Ha! I know ... I know .... I count my blessings all the time. When people say how "lucky" I am to do this, I remind them it took me 40+ years of work to get this way! Roy H.

    Did You Know the Mil-Spec Could Do This?

    Agreed about making you a marksman, Doug. I've found scoping a handgun like this allows you to explore its accuracy potential. But as you say ... you still need to know how to shoot! Roy H.

    Thanks Snake. And indeed ... there's something about a basic 1911 that always appeals. Roy Huntington
