    Sig X Series

    Slight point of clarification. You can take a 45 FCU and run any other caliber in it, with the appropriate grip frame, slide and barrel, but Sig will put its fingers in its ears and close its eyes and say you can't, because the takedown safety bar in the 45 is so much more open (to allow the 45...

    Head Shot at 50 feet in 6 seconds

    My range group ended up doing this as a drill today. At 50 feet when the buzzer sounds, draw and fire your carry gun to a head target in under 6 seconds, one shot. One of the ladies in the group put up the best time at 2.37! A lot of very good shooters in the group struggled with it. Its a...

    Straight 8 style sights

    Its a good choice that I like as well. It is certainly possible, but you are going to want to carefully explain to your gunsmith what you want. The better option might end up being for you to get a "black" front sight and have them insert the type of luminescent vial you like best in whatever...

    Sig X Series

    I am pretty familiar with the 320 series, we work on them a lot at the shop and I run one in competition. The 320 is somewhat unique in that the part that is the "gun" is a small drop in "cassette" containing the trigger and sear. It can be inserted into a wide variety of different grip...

    How much spare ammo do you all carry?

    I usually only carry 1 spare mag. If I were running a single stack (and I used to do so years ago) I would carry two mags. If I am carrying my "professional dress" EDC I have a 12 round spare mag that I drop in a pocket, but I sometimes run a 12 or 15 round mag in the gun and a 15 round spare...

    1911 Caliber Choice

    If we are talking standard pattern single stack 1911, then a DW or LB in 10mm are then only things still calling to me. Although I am eternally tempted by some of the STI 2011 guns in 9mm. And then I look at the price of the relatively finicky mags I would be dropping on concrete over and over...

    Grips

    I use the Talon grips a lot, and they have served me well. I have also had good luck with Traction grips and Springer Precision sandpaper grips for competition guns. The main thing you are going to want to watch for in off brand grips or skate tape is the adhesive. The more established...

    PMAG .308 25 rounders any good?

    They are excellent. I have never had an issue with them over multiple AR10 guns, or even in the Galil ACE. They are my go to 308 AR mag. I think length and weight are the reasons they are not as popular, and why there are not 30's. A drum, and they make a great one, is probably a better...

    Hellcat

    I have really big hands, and they are pretty well calloused in the palms from fencing and kendo for the past few decades. As such I really like more texture than the average bear. I run skate tape on all my competition guns, and Traction grips on my carry pistol. I did not really notice it to...

    Best mini 9mm?

    I have a slight preference for the Sig 365 over the Hellcat, but I run Sigs in competition and have been carrying a 365 since just after Shot 2018. If I were just picking both up now, it would be hard to pick. One thing to consider is that the 365 can be had for smidge under $400 dollars these...

    Are silencers worth the money?

    Cans are great if you are shooting indoors. IE in a home defense situation. My nightstand gun has a can so I can fire it hearing safe. Having shot both rifles and pistols indoors without a can I can assure you, it is something you will want if the time ever comes. Cans also make good sense...

    Hellcat

    I have shot a few mags through one that a friend got. He has the Optics version, but the optics were back ordered. The sights are very good for defensive use. Obviously not target sights, but they are easy to see, come up well with standard presentation. I have been a U notch fan for years...

    Lights/Lasers

    For Hellcat red dots you are limited to 3 options really. The polymer SMSC, the metal frame but plastic lens RMSc, both from Shield in the UK, and the Sig Romeo Zero. The shield sights are pricey and fragile. The Romeo is vaporware at this point, they have not shipped outside of test samples...

    Wish List

    A US made and developed modern handgun or rifle that is not a copy of an historic gun or a re-branded foreign made design. At this point I am kind of expecting them to bring out the "Brimstone" or something similiar, which will be an AK clone. :devilish:

    Critical Defense or Federal HST?

    Not trying to be mean or pick a fight! I was genuinely curious as to rather or not you were making a joke. Assuming you're being serious and not just trying to "troll" folks like myself, my objections to the practice you were endorsing are as follows: 1. Point of Impact Shift: Different...

    Sig Sauer P320 Lima ready Holster

    Neptune Concealment out of Florida can make one with really good turn around time and good quality. I have several of their holsters, including one for my Sig 365 XL with light and RMR. If you don't see it on their website, give them a call.

    Lights/Lasers

    Not as much as you would think. I find it distracting to use both and somewhat redundant. Train to one and stick with it. IMHO the main use of a laser is in IR if you are running NVG of some sort. Otherwise when using a dot and laser, the laser will "splatter" and increase its projected...

    1st and 2nd focal plane

    Purpose and training dictate gear, in pretty much all things. FFP scopes are good for longer range shooting and many these days have a system in the retical to help you judge wind and adjust your hold at different distances. This can be done with SFP as well within reason, but the longer your...
