Seems there hasn't been much activity here. Shot an IDPA match Sat and had a pretty good day. Stage 6 was interesting, first time I've had to shoot the gun while carrying something the entire stage. Stage was called "9mm Madness". As with all IDPA stages, it has a scenario..."While buying 9mm ammo a...

Thanks. I will keep some cards to show what the results are. Just did some training and had a little breakthrough. Normally on 'fast' shooting, just after the shot I just wait and see where the gun would end pointing to (2cm up down, left right, I don't mean to the other side of te range :d ), then...

That's an interesting course of fire. Closest thing to that I've shot, would be the IDPA 5x5 Classifier. 25 shots all from a static standing position at 10 yards. Includes 5 shots strong hand only, and a 5 reload 5 string. Just to give you some sort of time comparison, I ran the course of fire in 17...

Shooting strong or support hand only, is something that just takes practice. It's mainly about trigger control, and not trying to fight the recoil. For us "dot" shooters, it's all about trusting the dot, and not anticipating the recoil on the trigger pull. Your splits are going to be slower no matte...

Shot a Steel Challenge match yesterday. This pretty much summed up my day!!!! l-) ... :lol: https://youtu.be/X5S1n4J3Jpc Was stomping on the accelerator a little to hard. The one thing you have to do, is make sure to "see" the hits on the plates, especially the stop, and not just go by sound!!!!!!!!...

Agree with BentAero , the only reason to be looking for "really" light/crisp trigger is for a competition gun. 3-3.5 pounds would be a nice low weight for a range/comp gun, but light in terms of a carry gun. My SFx was setup strictly for competition use. Got the trigger as good as it was going to ge...

3# 10.5 oz out of the box 2# 6.6 oz after polishing and new plunger spring 2# 5.5 oz after FreedonSmith trigger.

IDPA match at a local club. Based on the final standings, looks like @GlennSFX burned down most of these stages...nice shooting Glenn. I am still way too inconsistent...good stage, followed by a bad one. For this match I had a stage with 9 points down. Decided to get cute and try to "game" a stage ...

I have never had a self filming camera myself, thought about it but never did anything about it.

I shot my Combat a couple times in IDPA just to try it. At the time my SFX was my primary comp gun. The relative bore axis of the Combat is the same as the SFX, so theoretically they should be similar. You'll have a little more recoil to deal with, but nothing to worry about. The barrel on the SFX i...

Just received an email back from ameriglo.Basically was told the sig sights were usually very tight going on,so apparantly too much material removed to install them. Peening the bottom of the sight and red loctite is the usual fix. Peening will make little dimples that should make it fit tighter. T...

If I push on the sight it only moves a little each way but then stops.I still havent figured out way after 3 years it loosened up.

...that doesn't really make any sense. I'd still contact Ameriglo and just see what they have to say!!!!

Thanks Glenn,I had an armoror buddy of mine install them since I didnt have a sight pusher,so dont know if he removed material or not.He said they were really tight.With the red loctite can that still be removed if I have to change sights?I know the blue you can heat up to dislodge it.again thanks ...

It went on really tight,what would.cause it to loosen up that much,just the vibrations? If it went on tight, it shouldn't loosen up. I had a sight I was messing with to co-witness on my SFX and had to remove some material to get it to fit. I took off a little too much, and that sight did move. But ...

I noticed the front sight was loose in the dovetail.Can move it approximately 1/16th of an inch,maybe a little less. I installed an Ameriglo PRO-GLO front sight on a P320 Compact a couple years ago. Sight went on tight with a puller and hasn't budged. I would contact Ameriglo and see what they have...

Helped run an Action Pistol match at my club today, which is designed to introduce new shooter to the sport. Most have only shot statically from a fixed firing line. Was asked to RO a squad, and spent most of my time pretty much stressing safety, stage planning based on IDPA vs USPSA rules, how and ...

I wanted to protest in Portland, Ore. Look what happens to a conservative!

I figured you were caught "Maskless" at the local watering hole and got nabbed!!!

...DAMN!!! Up until now I had visions of being lost on an island!!!!!!

Down at our place in SC over the 4th, and managed to get a match in with my son in NC a couple hours away.
Yup...I'm a friggen old guy too!!!!

Because your belt probably doesn't sit perfectly horizontal on your body, the holster angle will be exaggerated when the belt is off. Here's how mine looks with the holster angle set to the "natural point of aim" angle. I loosened the screws enough on the Boss hanger so I could set the angle with th...
