Worth mentioning, I have a Model 41 that has both iron sights and an Ultradot. One barrel each for each, and swapping barrels takes ten seconds at most.

In the 90s, shipboard sailors (including me) got annual pistol familiarization if they were inport quarterdeck watchstanders. Knowing what I know now, that training was pretty close to useless, beyond "keep it in the holster and don't touch it unless you actually need to shoot someone", because...

.45ACP, I've got a Ruger Camp Carbine (takes 1911 mags), a S&W Model 625, and a handful of 1911s. Yes, my household is pretty much .22LR and .45ACP, with a smattering of .380ACP. My reloader only does .45ACP, but it puts together barely-penetrate-the-cardboard Bullseye loads to +P Bowling Pin...

I suppose so... till you learn that they're going to get 10mm doublestack 1911s as standard issue sidearms. :evil:

For my 50th birthday, my wife's gift to me, I commissioned a custom 1911. I'm expecting to pick it up tomorrow. I'll be shooting it at the range on New Year's Day and hopefully a lot of days after that.

I'm only a year into USPSA, but safety disengaged on the draw and re-engaged when holstering. Though, I come to this from several years in Bullseye, where I literally never engaged the safety on my (all safety-equipped) pistols. Slide locked back, mag removed and (at some matches) open-chamber...

I've been shooting my 1911 in SingleStack for a few months now, and while I've been eyeing upgrades (Springfield RO, Colt Competition, etc) to my .45 milspec, I'm also thinking that for the same money I could expand into non-SingleStack as well. There are currently no Production-category guns in...

Really, I wasn't annoyed at the stop, I think the RO was just surprised/confused and being cautious. The fact that I was blowing tape off the targets and reopening all the holes was just really funny.

Just shot my third USPSA match. The thing I'm least likely to ever forget: second stage had some movement along a line of targets that were maybe a yard or so from the shooter's box/lane. I'm going along them, banging away with my 1911 SS (shooting .45ACP factory ball). I get near the end of the...

My S&W model 625 (.45ACP), with an out-of-the-box trigger job. Shoots anything I can create with my reloader. My 'nightstand gun' for as long as I've been shooting. Others may come and go, but that revolver is it. @jim in Anchorage, you'll be pleased to know I acquired it while stationed in...

First, that's a really really clear summary, thanks for laying it out that way. :thumbup: I've pretty much settled on staying in Single stack with my hardball .45, since I'm already reloading that caliber (and have a ton of brass accumulated), have the minimum equipment, and it's appealing to...

Ummm... back to our regularly scheduled program? o_O As a longtime (but very very sporadic and out of practice) bullseye shooter that just shot his first USPSA match last week, I'm also "too slow but (too) accurate" (in the match only 25% had more A hits than me, and half of them were carbine...

Thanks!! I just did some additional digging (finding things like https://www.ssusa.org/articles/2016/1/27/understanding-the-power-factor/ noting "While the .45 ACP and .40 S&W are normally considered Major calibers..."), emailed the match check-in guy, and he did some review himself and conceded...

I've been away from competition shooting (my only trigger-pulling has been taking newbies to the range) for several years now, and my only competition has been Bullseye. I got back into a local casual .22 Bullseye league, and it's fun, but routine now. And apparently they started allowing using...

Any idea when other models will go to the 5th generation? I've developed a hankering for the G40, but might either wait for Gen5 (the barrel that I can shoot cast bullts through with slightly more accuracy is appealing) or go for a model-closeout cheaper Gen4 of it.

I've got a similar problem, where with my steadily-degrading eyesight, progressive (for PC/distance) and two-handed hold, the sights are blurry, but for Bullseye-style one-handed hold, the PC focus is nearly perfect (and many moons ago I shot Bullseye regularly). Which has led to some...

There's been an impact in New Hampshire, at least, where with the first Republican governor in 12yrs and R-majorities in the State House & Senate they passed Constitutional Carry earlier this year (joining our Maine and Vermont neighbors). I feel like I can rely on an R-majority US House &...

Add my name to the chorus - I've bought a few guns from them, and would readily do so again.

So perhaps belercous or TrusteeTaglia could update us on the actual result of this particular case?

Indeed. I'd recommend Vermont, which is right next door and just about equally nice. :)
