I have a nice FNX-40 that I have barely used, all black, comes with Trijicon tritium night sights, a BladeTech WRS holster with level II retention in foliage green, I believe at least 3 extra mags which should be 6 total. I have right at $930 in this whole setup with tax, shipping, and FFL...

If you don't do this, you'll go ballistic every time you hear about a Glock "clip", or even when somebody messes up there / they're / their. At some point you have to ask yourself, who really gives a crap.

Their own mission statement says it is "based on simulated self-defense scenarios". Their stated fundamental principals includes "test skills that could be required to survive life-threatening encounters". Their principals list includes the statement "At its core, IDPA is a self-defense...

Why else would they give a flying rip about shooting from behind cover?

Ran across the deal of the century so I ended up getting both for less than what a new STI Eagle should have cost. Pic is below. Haven't been able to shoot it yet but first impressions are that the 2011 is some serious beef, way beefier in the beefcake department than the Glock even though the...

What would I have to do to at least get a grip like that?

Slide cuts are cool though. :) Or are these called ports? They're sharp whatever you call them. Kinda puts my silly little Eagle to shame now doesn't it. Goodness.

Just picked it up. It definitely goes "click". That's as far as I have gotten.

I totally understand where you're coming from. Look in the classifieds at my $4,000 custom guitar. Same deal. My comments were more along the lines of "I don't know what I'm doing and therefore don't know what I'm looking at", not "it's not worth it because the base model from somebody else is...

In hindsight, we should have named the stage "dick in a box".

This is the one I was talking about. I'd love to have it but I can't justify spending that kind of money on one. I mean, Freedom Gunworks can build you a custom 6" for $2,500 which sounds more reasonable. I can't figure out where the other $1,300 is going.

My first match I was sitting cross legged Indian style in a ridiculous wooden box made out of palettes, having to shoot sideways out of the slots in between the boards, shells are flying straight up and hitting the ceiling and coming back down on me, then I get a double feed in the middle of it...

Well, yeah, sometimes it is. I just think that in some activities, you have to accept the risk, however tiny it may be. Swimming for example. Are you really going to do some laps in some tactical Speedos with a J-frame hidden in your crotch? Or would you simply agree that you're probably not...

Coolest ones I've seen outside of svi/infinity are from Hayes custom guns in Texas. They can do big fat lightening cuts that blends into the front serrations which looks amazing. A 6" gun with a 3/4 length rail and the rest being scalloped looks great, good compromise of old school styling with...

There's only two 126mm mags with it. I'm probably not going to be able to do much with just them. I figure if I have to buy new ones specifically for competitions, then why wouldn't I get 140mm? And if I'm getting new 140mm mags, which I'll probably want to get base pads for in the future...
