Re: Sringfield XD? For 1911 Shooters
Hydra,
I have considered the Glock also. I used to have a G17. I feel that the XD is really just a jazzed up glock. But the weight and feel I like better than the Glock. I was comparing the two...

Reloadin' for my 45!!!
Hey Guys,
Been shooting quite a bit lately. Have found that I like 185 grain ammo much better for target/indoor range. It seems as if you can either go with the 230 grain or the 185. It's hard...

Re: Please help me decide...
BigZig,
1st, you are not nuts. I went through the same a few weeks ago when I bought my first 1911.
2nd, nobody will make fun of you for spending too much on a 1911.
3rd, since you know...

Re: How often do you clean your 1911?
My 1911 is cleaned and inspected after each session at the range. The weapon is dirty after each session so it should be cleaned. This also gives me a chance to inspect all the major parts of the...

Civilian/Semi-auto MP5
Am also interested in a HK MP5 SMG. With the MP5's popularity, why is it so hard to find a semi-auto? Does an SMG need to have a minimum legal barrel length? Anyone know how you can get one of...

Re: Proud New Kimber Owner!!!
Accuracy with my Glock was about the same. But then I never truly practiced hard with that gun. More of just a toy. I would like to master my 1911 and perhaps shoot a match with it, in time.

Re: Proud New Kimber Owner!!! Update:
Thanks for the responses. Went to the range again and shot another 250 rounds. Not one problem. At 25 feet I'm able to do five shot groups between 3 and four inches. Is this good?

Re: Proud New Kimber Owner!!!
Country 101,
My TLE II cost me 789.99 + tax. I bought it at Mega Sports in Plainfield, IL.
For under eight bills I think it's a great buy. Although I didn't really price shop. The Custom TLE II...
