    115 or 124gr 9mm "Middle of the road" load?

    Favorite load right now for IDPA is 4.8 W231 under 115gr FMJ. Gives me about 130PF out of my Walther PPQ and Wilson 5" 1911 9mms. Very clean, excellent accuracy. James

    9mm powder ??

    I like both W231 and AA#5. I'm currently using AA#5 in all my 9mm loads because it meters so well and I can use it for all bullet weights and easily make power factor for IDPA. The other nice thing is that it is a higher volume powder so there is not so much air in the case like some lower...

    Tell Me About the Walther P22

    Went and shot my P22 for the first time in a while today, about 100 rounds. Funny, mine HATED Remington Golden Bullets, they wouldn't extract :barf: Loved Federal Bulk Pack (Stuff I've had for years and plenty in my supply) Loved just about everything else, ESPECIALLY the Aguila SSS...

    Which of these 1911s have you had problems with?

    My 13th SW1911 pistol (a Gunsite model) had a loose trigger new out of the box. S&W fixed it on their dime in 7 calendar days to my complete satisfaction. James

    Walther PPS Warranty

    Had issues with one I bought "as new in box" from Legendary Guns in Phoenix. They had taken it back in trade from a customer who said he didn't care for it. Turns out he had broken the two backstraps on the gun due to "dissassembleidiocy". They hadn't even checked it for function before...

    Walther PPS

    First I didn't like it - thought it was Ugly. Saw my friend Ken's photos of his - Warming -liked it :) Bought one sight unseen - First impression? Nice.... Not cheap feeling or cheaply made IMHO. Certainly as nice as P99C and HKP2000K. About the same size as my Springfield EMP...

    9mm 1911 Off The Shelf Tack Driver Wanted

    I'm VERY happy with my STI Trojan 9mm. It is very accurate but I'm using it mainly for IDPA and steel gaming. Shot it today in the DPC Steel Metal Mania match and finished 9th of 29. Had the Dawson Fibre optic sight installed up front and was very happy with the purchase from Dawson...

    TRP or Baer Concept II

    Les Baer hands down. Concept II or Premier II with tactical package or the Thunder Ranch Special. Once you get a Les Baer, you'll want to sell your others to buy more LB. :D James

    What's the 'classic' IDPA ESP gun?

    I've shot: - SW 952 (don't see those too often) :) - Springfield EMP I'm waiting on my Les Baer Premier II 9mm to come in and it will be my ESP gun from then on. James

    I concur! Second to my P7s, the EMP is now my favorite small 9mm. James

    1911: Do you drop the slide ever on an empty chamber?

    No, I'm sorry, didn't mean they make you drop it from slide lock. Actually, now that I think about it, most people do retract the slide, show the empty chamber and then some let it go forward without easing it down, but maybe some do ease it. As long as you show an empty chamber, slide...

    1911: Do you drop the slide ever on an empty chamber?

    Well if you shoot IDPA or at any kind of range with Range Officer's they will MAKE you show an empty weapon, drop the slide, point it at the berm and pull the trigger before you reholster to assure an empty weapon. If your 1911 can't take it, get a different 1911. I don't make a habit of...
