I typically go to SGA Crosby. John and Steve are great guys and they love the clientele

Welcome !

I see you go to SGA. Same here, Spring location. Been debating on signing up for one of their memberships, unlimited shooting.

Does it use standard 1911 parts? Parts you can order from anyone.

...

Welcome !

So, how is it pronounced ? JOHN-NICK ???

There was a time, no one wanted a 1911, "you couldn't hit anything with a .45".
Guess revolver makers spread that rumor.
Springfield .45 ACP

Glock 43 it is. Hit 90° all ready and this one comes in at one pound. Lets see, the .45 was pushing 3 pounds and the Range Officer was 2 pounds. Feels like I walking on air.

just saw a $25 rebate on the G2C. That brings it down to $175

welcome to the forum, eh

Made quite a few business trips to Ottawa. Those guys kicked it into high gear in the winter. Building hockey rinks in their backyard, 24 hours skating on the Rideau canal.

Welcome

Congratulations on the CZ.

Welcome Hoosier, a beautiful state. Did a lot of RVing up there.

Been looking into Freedomsmith trigger. With the Ghost springs, my trigger pull is just under 3# but still has a lot of excess.

Getting parts may be an issue. Firing pins been on backorder for a while.

Way to go

I was talking to a clerk at Academy and they said they don't charge a fee for transfers. I mentioned Bud's at a Mom & Pop store and they said they charge a premium for Bud's transfers.

Benchmark lobbyist support the Interstate Transport Act. It protects owners of automatic knives but the NRA is saying it doesn't include the same protections for gun owners. Something about "right of action" not included for gun owners.

The prices are all over the place, $250 to $4,000. I can buy a polymer frame for $250+, a steel frame for $400+. The "Extreme" models go for $1,000 $2,000 and $4,000. I will have to say, the factory boxing is quite impressive. Only issue I have had with Canik, is replacement parts not made in Americ...

Welcome Small world, been looking at an Italian handgun, the Tanfoglio. Had good luck with Turkish handguns, Canik. Do you have an opinion on the Witness? As a "funny" note, I was on a business trip to France, drinking coffee with a co-worker from Italy. As I was thinking the French served a small c...

Hi and congrats on the SFX.

I am on the North side of Houston, been hitting ranges between 1488 and 2920. There is a private outdoor range on Zion's road been trying to get info on.
Good luck with your SFX and let me know if you get up in this area.

Ran into a guy that explained why the retention release was on the inside, between the holster and paddle. It is safer. If the retention release was on the outside and released with you index finger, you are more likely to draw and you finger lands on the trigger. You are supposed to flat finger a r...

Canik running under 3 pounds with Ghost springs( Striker and plunger). Keeping her thoroughly clean, just a drop of oil on the rails. Still running the original firing pin. Probably around 800 rounds now.
