I'm on the board of directors of our range and we just voted last week to install cameras. The reasoning has little to do with people damaging property, although if it deters that sort of behavior it is a plus. Two weeks ago one of our guests was injured and lost both eyes. I cannot go into...

I've been using Slide Glide exclusively in my autos for about five years. I used to use Tetra grease, but it didn't stay in place particularly well. After I got some Slide Glide and found out how much it can smooth up the rails I made the switch completely. Where I live in NW Arizona we have...

I am an NRA and Arizona state certified instructor. As Navy LT posted you qualify under at least two parameters. You will need to fill out the application. Submit two Arizona Department of Public Safety Concealed Weapons Permit Unit fingerprint cards. Include a copy of your current permit...

TFOs. Tritium Fiber Optic sights are available to fit the Kimber dovetail. You have the advantages of fiber optic when the light is adequate, but you have tritium night sights when the light is too dim to pick up the sights normally. I have them on a couple guns and prefer them to anything else...

I do quite a few custom builds and only build on Colt, first generation Kimbers and Norincos. I will offer the "short list" of why. Norincos because they are built closer to original 1911A1 specs than anything else I've ever run across and they make excellent finished products. They also are...

In Arizona you can shoot anywhere that is not within 1/4 of mile from an occupied building and is either public land or is not posted. Although you may legally shoot in many places you must use common sense to avoid potential "endangerment" situations. Much of Arizona is available for shooting...

I only use Check-Mates in my Delta Elite. It just really likes them. The basepad also happens to be a perfect fit for my SA magwell... I get them through Top Gun Supply for about $20 each.

Frame flex isn't really a big selling point to me.

I have an Elite Match. It is one of my favorite guns. I shoot it in a number of competitions like IDPA and USPSA. I also have a Delta Elite. I consider the Colt a better gun, but the Tanfoglio handles recoil better (allowing for faster followup shots) and is very accurate. I've never had any...

The slide stop is the same for the 10 as the .45, but the stops for 9, 38 super, etc., have a longer reach on the lug because the mag follower is farther from the side of the slide on 9s so the lug has a longer reach. 10 stops have a wider deck on the follower where it hits the stop. I use the...

I have owned the EAA Elite Match, Glock 20 and Colt Delta Elite in 10mm. IMHO the Colt is by far the best. OTOH, I build custom 1911s for fun and profit. The Tanfoglio had the best gun before serious customizing of any of them. I did replace the recoil spring, hammer spring, sights and firing...

After I got my Delta Elite I sold my Glock 20. The Delta is just much more accurate and handles a wider variety of reloads. I wouldn't own a Smith auto. Way too many bad experiences with poorly built ones. The Dan Wesson is a pretty good gun from what I've seen, but why buy an imitation Colt...

After 200 rounds without cleaning it is not unusual to have hiccup. Could be a lot of reasons. Most of them have to do with dirt.

XD is in ESP in IDPA because it is a single action. Springer put up a valiant attempt to have it in SSP, but failed. We actually had one guy quit IDPA because he was so mad about being in ESP. He got no sympathy from me. I'm in CDP.

Rough edge on the top end of the mag. Discreet use of 000 emery cloth should fix the mag.

Essex is a low end frame used by some "custom" makers to produce budget "custom" 1911s. If all the holes line up and the rails are straight they are an OK basis for making a gun. Just because a gun has a few nice parts doesn't mean a thing. Yesterday I ran into a guy at the range who paid more...

I'm an instructor and see this all the time. It is a grip issue. I can't tell you which grip issue without more information, but I can tell you it is a grip issue. My first guess would be you are tightening your grip while "pulling" the trigger. It is easily cured. I had an 86-year-old man do...

I have one local shop that won't let me touch a gun unless I promise not to field strip it first. I guess I've done it once too often. That said, it is not your shop. It is their business. They put up the money and took all the risk. They have no idea what you are capable of doing. Why would...

The statute definitely includes provisions for a CWL. It lists several places that open carry is illegal that concealed carry may only be done with a permit. ie: places that serve liquor and school properties. We have to wait for DPS to make a specific list to know all of them for certain, but...

I wouldn't bother making the change. Having the FLGR in the Kimber only makes it so you have two takedown options that work equally as well. I really like the versatility of being able to take the slide off as a unit or take it apart before removing it from the frame. It should be cheap...
