    Question about PF 125 minor

    I am going to try and shoot USPSA again. It's been 3 years since my last match due to health issues. I've only shot local matches where nothing is put through a chrono. I might hit a major match. Hence, my question: When they test your ammo, do they take the average velocity, or do all rounds...

    Xdm grip safety, why?

    Stumbled across a Xdm 5.25 used last week. Price was where I couldn't pass it up. I had just shot one at my club about a week ago, which proved to be quite accurate. Often wondered why SA decided it needed a grip safety. Not like it has a 1911 trigger. Was this for the guys that don't like to...

    Who carries small of the back?

    Also, what do you carry. I've stuck a couple different pistols inside my belt just to see what it felt like. Seemed pretty comfortable. I wondered about sitting or driving though.

    Looking to upgrade my CCW

    I'm looking to pick up a new single stack compact. Probably 40S&W or 357Sig. Very seldom do I worry about printing with a tee shirt over it. When I really want to hide something, my PT709 has always been there. While the little 9 has served me well, I'd like to upgrade to what I consider a...

    LGS can't keep up!

    I picked up a new M&P40 Thursday. While doing the paperwork, he told me as fast as he gets Glocks and M&P's in they fly out the door! I wonder if it's new gun owners or guys like me, adding to their collection. Curious what that % would be. I know in the last 4 months, our club enrollment...
