Thank you for taking the time to respond! If I may ask, what 1911 platform did you prefer? Like yourself I prefer the full size frame, an don’t have an issue with all metal/weight. I still carry my ParaOrdance P15 from time to time. I started shooting, and a small collection, when I was...

I fundamentally agree with you on your point. However, there are several ways to mitigate the somewhat heavier recoil and energy of a 10mm. A threaded barrel an compensator come to mind with a heavier slide return spring in conjunction with a good slide buffer. Although this does extend the...

There certainly was in the mind(s) of someone or agency. It wasn’t a bad choice really. Somewhat equates to the 9mm and it baby cartridge the 380 Kurt’s (Short). 10mm and it’s baby 10mm Kurt’s (.40SW).

I’m just a lone opinion here but I am a long time enduser of these calibers and platforms they’re used in. I back my opinion with what some call “real world” experience, as well as extensive range time, for what that’s worth. I have carried a 10mm for a number of years starting with the Bren...

I now have several KelTec PMR30’s chambered in .22 Mag. For those who may not be aware this is an ultra lite weight, 30 round capacity automatic pistol. It can be hit a miss on how good of an out of the box unit one might get from KalTec as it seems that there QC leaves something to be desired...

As I understand the process it runs about a 72 hour cycle. Liquid nitrogen is the medium. Over the first 24 hours the object is slowly brought down to the lowest temp, about -300°, then held at that temp for 24 hours. It is then slowly brought back to ambient temp over the last 24. It was...

I like the 6.5 Creedmoor. I have it in a Tikka T3 Tac platform. However, it dosnt preform as well at distance, in my opinion, as my .300WM which has been my go to long distance caliber for many years. Yes, the recoil can be stiff but it can also be tamed quite easily with either a tuned custom...

Back in the late 70’s I was introduced to the process of Cryo Tempering. Basically, the process in which steels molecular structure is aligned an “”quieted” by submersion into liquid nitrogen. It’s a somewhat more involved process but that’s the simply explanation. What this process...

I bought my first Mossberg MVP in .308 because it could use various magazine types most of which I already had including those for the M1A, was small, and fit in my planes survival kit. I’ve since found another for a truck rifle and have been very pleased with it. Is very accurate into the 500...

WOW! I’m not sure where to start here… There are several “the ONE” depending upon expected or intended use… .41 Mag 4 5/8” Blackhawk, for bear in Alaska a carried for the past 47 years in the bush. 10mm, Springfield XDm 5.25, Chest rig carry, my Ops primary EDC. There have been others over the...

I don’t, an didn’t mean to suggest that CAR was/is a be all end all position. I’m sorry if that’s how my comment came across. It was meant only as an observation from my own expierance with cross draw carry as a viable means of access and effective deployment. I find it comfortable and...

I was trained, as most of us were I think, using the Weaver Stance for using a pistol. Some time prior to the John Wick movies I was introduced to the CAR (Center Axis Relock) shooting method as a better, more intuitive deployment an employment means from the Cross Draw position. I found that...

I grew up in Alaska and carried crossdraw from my earlier memories in great part for some of the more “cowboy” reasons noted here. As I got older, it became a .41 mag Blackhawk as it was the most comfortable and assessable carry when working in an out of an aircraft. In the military I used CD...

I have found that both the SOCOM and the SCOUT serve well into the 500 meter engagement envelope, with the Scout having a bit of an edge with its slightly longer barrel, when using a red/green dot optic. However, I took the idea from my Mossberg MVP Scout rifle (.308, Bolt) and combined both a...

I have had the opportunity and range time with a Ronin 10mm and it’s performance was very acceptable. If I could find one to buy I would! Nearly impossible to find. I started carrying a 10mm some years ago with the . Then found the Delta Elite and it became my EDC. I waited for...

seem to be just about splitting hairs really, doesn't it?... Your point is well taken, it's like "have ones cake and eat it to" and most don't seem to really have a clue as to the facts. When it comes right down to it, it's all about shot placement and terminal impact really

I have used the .40 SW, chambered in an XD Compact, for some years now as either my primary or a backup to one of my 10mm, now the XDm 5.25 10mm. As the .40 is to the 10mm, in essence what .380 is to the 9mm, it has always been a nearly perfect combination for me. I am and have been an ardent...
