Looking to get myself a Wilson Combat Tactical SuperGrade before I go back to training :tup:. Anybody have any thoughts on it or own it?

Also look what arrived yesterday for my glock

Hoping its worth it... I guess we'll find out

I used to own a Wilson Sentinel. I really like Wilson pistols, but for my money I'd rather buy a Nighthawk. I had a T3 as well as a GRP and loved them. But that Tactical Supergrade is pretty darn nice.

Really? I keep hearing that Wilson trumps nighthawk. I was originally looking at the T3 but was persuaded to look twords Wilson instead.

Also G21sf is now at the GunSmith. Hopefully the new springs and trigger will make the feel of the glock better.

Why didn't you do the install yourself? Polymers are cake to work on. Did my own trigger job on the .45 XDM. Took FOREVER, buuut, it was worth it. And now I know everything there is to know about triggers. lol!

About Wilsons... Awesome stuff. Nighthawk is up there but I think Wilson has better customer service and their designs are just tip-top in fit and finish. Show me a 1911 that sells for the same money that looks better.

Christensen Arms 1911s are right up there with the likes of Wilson. I could probably say both are equally on par with each other. In the end, what do you want to pay for 1911 and what is the goal? Looks? Reliability? Customer Service? A $4k 1911 better have some good support behind it.

Something had to be shaved and what not... eh. I rather not mess with shaving anything lol.

Thanks for the tip on Christensen Arms, I'll look into them.

Reliability is my number 1 goal, looks come second. I'm getting back into private protection so its gonna be under my coat but I still want it to look pretty lol.

My First Pistol - Springfield XDm .40 3.8"
 

I have been thinking about making a gun purchase recently, talking to friends who are into guns and doing research online about which model is best for me. Years ago, the XD .40 was one of the first pistols I ever shot. Last week a friend suggested I look at the newer XDm .40 variants. I ended up deciding to purchase one today from Palmetto Upstate Armory. I also pre-paid for a CWP class that they will start holding early next month. I'm going to make this thread a journal of sorts to record my thoughts and experiences as a first time gun owner.

Here's a few pics I took of it...

Thoughts? Suggestions for mods? Tips for good places to buy mags and ammo? Post below!

First things first, congrats. I believe that, even though that is the "compact", its not double-stack, right?

I have the 4.5" XDm .45, and I'm very pleased with it. That said, in the MAZOC firearms thread, some have been complaining about their SA pistols as of late (they just did a big recall on the XDs .45/9mm line).

IMHO, they are an incredible bang for the buck (no pun intended), and generally get very favorable reviews.

I know Jon pushes ammoseek.com for ammo, and you can also use slickguns.com for good deals on ammo/mags.

Sweet! Thanks! Yeah, it's double stack (look at the mags :p )

Edit: A quick look at both websites shows ammo about the same price for the smaller quantities ($16ish for 50 rounds of .40).

Oops, I mistyped. I meant to say that, even though it is compact, it IS double stack...

Congrats on the new gun, Pat.

I've been lurking and looking for something, anything that catches my eye. So far, I'm more concerned about paying for Z mods and athletic fees for my boys than getting another gun.

I'm thinking about adding another AR to the collection. Thinking about doing a BCM or DD build with a RISII. Then a magnified optic, maybe an ACOG.

I'm still loving the current DD:

I'm also Glock shopping to have something while my XD and XDs are out of commission. It's a pain in the butt following the stupid 15 rd magazines round limits and trying to find something decent. Wish I had realized the XD/XDm striker issues before this ban went in place...

A buddy of mine liked my photos of my XDm a lot and asked me to take pics of a couple of his guns. Here's what I got...

New Gun New Fun
 

I was looking to add a 1911 to my collection these past few years and Finally bit the bullet:p

She was a dream to shoot!

Welcome to the owner's club. There's a good chance you'll now spend a lot on that 1911 making it awesome, and then buy several more. They seem to multiply. Not as fast as Glocks. Buying a Glock is like getting a Mogwai wet. You buy one, and then one day you realize somehow you own five.

A good friend of mine nearby has some land way out in the country near the NC/SC state line. Ryan and I went out there yesterday to go shooting. I put around 175 rounds through the XDm, Ryan shot his P95, AR15 and .410 shotgun for a few hours yesterday afternoon.

Thoughts on the XDm so far:

• Love it, it feels great to shoot
• A little more kick than I remembered, Ryan observed this as well
• Slide spring is really heavy, even with a good grip it can be hard to pull the slide back
• I shot 100 rds of cheap ammo, and 75ish of not-quite-as-cheap ammo... no jams, stovepipes or anything
• Towards the end of the day, my grouping was closer together but still bottom and to the right of target.
• AR15s are fun to shoot :)

Big day in Colorado, big day for the entire country.

?? What did I miss?

DENVER (AP) — Federal wildlife officials plan to crush more than 6 tons of ivory in Denver as part of a new push by the United States to combat illegal wildlife trafficking worldwide.

This is a very long read but, for those opposing restrictions on guns, has a lot of good info. Guest Post: An Opinion On Gun Control

CO was successful with both recalls. It doesn't fix their problems with the recent legislation, but I think it sends a pretty clear message.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for a good carry/conceal gun location in a 370Z? Used to keep mine in the center console but it's an awkward place to draw a gun from, and I'm hoping that someone else on here has come up with a better solution.

Maybe this question has been asked already, and I just can't find it on the forums. My bad if that's the case. Any help would be appreciated.

I keep mine behind the passenger seat clipped (in an outside the belt holster) to the top of the passenger seat back cargo net/map holder thingy. Its a small p938 so it draws pretty well from there. When I'm at the track or driving hard, I roll the power seat back to put some pressure on the hard plastic holster (so it stays put!) When I put a full sized 1911 in, it rides in the document box behind the passenger seat.

Hadn't thought of those, I should look into it. I have a Springfield XDS .45 thats not quite as small, but close enough. Or I should say I had one, as it's currently on its way to Illinois as part of the XDS recall. :(

Just a heads up again, the admin doesn't allow politics on this thread.

We were already warned.:happydance:

I'm looking to build a 1911 80% frame. I bought the frame and probably expect the frame around 2 months or so. Hopefully sooner. It's an aluminum frame 7076 t6 alloy.

I don't have a clue what am i doing lol but figured someone here in commi norkal had build one or knows of good build parties.

Also any good place to buy parts kits for for the 1911? I wanna keep it a 9mm but later buy a complete upper for a 45 acp if possible.

my twins

bought on gunbroker about 650 each

Here's my latest build. Spike's Lower, Core-15 upper with 9.5" barrel in 300 Blackout. Threw in the Kimber Ultra Eclipse for good measure.

Hey guys, I don't want to break any forum rules however I have an Arsenal SGL 21-71 7.62 x 39 mm almost new with mods on a gun sale forum.

Is it ok to tell you guys about the sale, or advice on an asking price? Only 200 rounds fired.

Mods included are Black Milspec Enhanced VLTOR Modstock combo, 2x 30 round mags and the stock mag that came with the gun. Also included is a Kvar rail, KCI Trigger Pin Retainer Plate, and soft grip

The forum can't be used to all firearms at all, so likely, you cannot.

Talking about asking prices is probably fine, but linking to the for sale thread isn't, I'd guess.

I hope that's an NFA SBR lower, or else you are just incriminating yourself there with the pics. Either way, nice rifle.

my gun sold well! anyways peace all.

Well, my aresenal consists of the S.A. XDS .45 acp, and 2 others:

H&K USP .45 ACP Full size

Let me fix that for ya Buddy!

Awesome, thanks man.

I assume you saw the recall for the XDs line?

I bought a pinky extention for the shorter mag from CheaperThanDirt. Put it on the mag tonight and I have to say, it makes a big difference. You can get a much better grip with all five fingers on the gun and the pinky not hanging out like a 5th wheel...



Heading to go shoot with some friends tomorrow, we'll see how it goes.

So anyone has experience building a 1911 80% frame?

Any one else carry a Ruger P90? It is big, bulky but it fits my hands, hips very well
