Since steveb (Hey! Maybe we're related.) brought this thread back to my inbox I'll post an update on the 9mm RO Elite Operator that didn't like to cycle the Federal HSTs. So you don't have to scroll back up, it was iffy with the 124gr and abysmal with the 147gr. I put a light polish on the...

The Viridian has the "ECR" feature. (Enhanced Combat Readiness) It turns off the light and laser when you holster it and turns it on to the last setting when drawn, IF you buy their holster. I found a custom leather maker who supports this system and have ordered a horsehide shoulder rig...

That's a Chen SI "Shooter Installed" magwell I've added and a Wilson Combat 10 rd mag.

Just back: 28 rds of the 147 gr HST - same problem. (I know - foolish to repeat the experiment and expect different results. I just had a partial box to burn.) 15 rds of Black Hills 124 gr +P - even worse, every single one ftf. (I notice the profile of that bullet is a little sharper.) So...

The only factory loads I've run were the HSTs. (Why spend money when you got the handloads waiting to go?) In spite of a dozen things I wanted to get done today, maybe I'll make a fast trip to the range and run some 124 gr HST and see if I even have any manufactured 9mm to try. I'd really...

The ultimate goal isn't tuning to the handloads. I need to get it to where it's happy to run most anything, but especially a good defense round. I'm not married to Federal HST but I happen to have a current stock in both 147 gr and 124 gr. The feed ramp polish is a good suggestion. It had...

I had the RO in .45 just as pictured in the article. I sold it when I decided to upgrade and ordered the LB Operator. Recently, I ordered the RO Elite Operator (full size with rail and fiber optic front sight) in 9mm, thinking, as I age, I may prefer the lighter recoil. I've equipped them...

I've been carrying a .45 Springfield LB Operator for a number of years now. If you asked me I would have said that a 1911 in 9mm is like putting a Toyota engine in your '69 Mach 1. As I get older, I notice recoil more and like it less. I have recently picked up a Springfield Range Officer...
