    Beretta 92X Performance: not suitable for serious use

    The 92XP has heavy relief cut around the firing-pin hole. That’s how primers look after being fired in one. 17k rounds is nothing. I’d expect the gun to require lube and basic cleaning with that round count. Any parts breakage so suddenly would raise eyebrows. I say this as someone who has run...

    Beretta 92X Performance: not suitable for serious use

    If it’s any consolation, aluminum-framed Berettas still seem to be doing fine. The problems appear limited to their steel-framed competition models. Which is kinda funny when you think about it—the pistols being sold to people who will shoot a lot don’t hold up to being shot a lot. it’s funny...

    Beretta 92X Performance: not suitable for serious use

    Here's why I'm no longer shooting a Beretta 92X Performance and recommend avoiding the platform and company behind it. I owned three of the guns, two purchased retail and one a warranty replacement. The barrel on the first one cracked at 20k rounds shooting my 130 PF reloads. The second one...

    Canik Rival-S early impressions

    Should be in firearms reviews. I can't see how to delete/move this 🤷‍♂️

    Canik Rival-S early impressions

    I picked up a copy of the steel-framed Canik Rival-S and have had it out for three practice sessions and a match with about 1,500 rounds downrange so far. It's very similar to the polymer-framed Rival, which shares the Walther P99 design of the popular Walther PDP. These guns all use a fully...

    Beretta 92 porn

    Beretta 92X Performance with about 18k rounds on it. It will celebrate its first birthday later this month. I had previously shot USPSA with a Stock 2 or Shadow 2. The Beretta fits my smallish hands better, sort of like the SP-01 Shadow I started with and in retrospect I should never have sold...

  7. School me on USPSA rigs

    The GX Vice is the hot ticket, but delivery takes a few weeks. A BladeTech will hold you over in the mean time.

  8. School me on USPSA rigs

    The BSPS kit with a DAA premium belt, BOSS hanger, BladeTech holster, and Ghost pouches is good to go. Nationals have been won with that combo. Bullets forward or out is personal preference. A magnet is real handy for unloaded starts. I put mine on my first pouch as its right by my normal...

  9. CZ75 and clones

    CZ Shadow 2 is precisely made on modern machines and parts/springs are longer-lasting than previous models. The balance is more toward the muzzle and the grip is a bit wider than the earlier SP-01 Shadow, which also benefitted from some polishing of the internals. Tanfoglio Stock 2 cleans up a...

    The Glock 19 is obsolete

    I love how he's lauding the small grip of the 43X, then you can see his support hand slipping and him continually having to rebuild his grip as he's shooting that pistol at 7:55 in the video. The problem with these small pistols is that they don't leave room for a secure support-hand grip...

  11. Fk BRNO 7.5

    FK Brno lists the round as proprietary, and I haven't seen dies or brass listed for sale or posted loading data. There is CIP case data, which I guess you could use to order custom dies, but that doesn't help with brass.

    P320 Aluminum Frame

    A steel-frame one would be interesting. Add some weight to better stabilize the pistol for tight shots. Maybe the Legion frame already addresses this. Would be even better if Glock made one

  13. Overwatch precision or Suarez international ?

    I tried an Overwatch Falx in my G34 Gen5 and returned it. Problem was that it wasn't a good fit for my smallish hands (I'm 5'7"). The trigger safety has a fairly stout return spring and needs to be 100% flush with the trigger face for the gun to fire. I couldn't reliably depress it when pulling...

  14. Going to the wall while acquiring sights...

    Depends on the the target. For something like an open target at 5 yards, I'm trying to be fast on the trigger and don't pay attention to the wall. It's all about getting aiming confirmation and pulling the trigger straight through. For a tight shot, like an 8" steel plate at 20 yards, I'm trying...

  15. T.Rex Arms

    Here's the video, it's a lot of fun: link. If anyone needs encouragement to dry fire or practice with a laser/airsoft, there it is. Liku's gun handling is super sharp from years of it!

  16. T.Rex Arms

    I've watched a couple of Lucas's videos. He gets the important things right when he's talking things I know, and I like his obvious enthusiasm and how he encourages people to practice, get training, shoot matches, and suck less. His stand & shoot skills look sharp. He could use a couple days...

  17. Range Bags

    I like backpack range bags since they free my hands for carrying other things. I have one of the G Outdoors backpacks, and it's holding up well after a couple years of heavy use other than needing to add additional stitching with a sewing awl where the straps join the body after overloading it...

  18. Laser dry fire training?

    This is both a pro and a con. Yeah, you're not working recoil control in dry fire, but you also don't have the distraction of the gun going off to divert your attention when working trigger-finger isolation, transitions, and other fine motions.

  19. Laser dry fire training?

    100% on using a red dot in dry fire. It makes grip/trigger mistakes more obvious than iron sights. Same is true in live fire. I do most of my dry fire with a G34 + SRO these days, and the obvious feedback it provides has helped my iron-sight shooting immensely. For sure get a red-dot sight and...

  20. Laser dry fire training?

    I've taken laser systems for a spin and see the appeal but haven't picked one up for my own training, largely because it involves moving around and shooting multiple targets. I suspect a laser system would be helpful for training bullseye-style shooting and draws/transitions to a single target...
