That looks good, I might have to look around for something finer than 800 grit. I plan on doing the top of the slide too and only leaving the rounded edges matte... but I gotta get sights first.

Finally got around to fixing this today while I was polishing the sides of the slide and some of the internals. It never caused any problems, but it bothered me so I fixed it. The polishing is turning out nice. I've only made it to 400 grit so far and it looks pretty good, I plan on going to at...

No I haven't fixed it yet, but I have put about 600 rounds through it with no problems.

Well, it'll get cleaned after every outing, and I plan on getting a reloading setup soon. Maybe with some good hand loads I can keep the fouling at bay. Then again, I've been wanting a 25-06 for some time now but wouldn't even think about it with out a reloading rig. Only time will tell.

Nice target and NICE rifle. I've sold off all my rifles except for the Marlin 22LR. I'm looking into buying another rifle for 300+ yard target shooting. Me and a friend have a little wager on who can build the better target rifle for under $600. I'm thinking about a Savage Stevens 200 or...

Yeah... Hopefully it won't take 25-30 years. :eek: I'm new to handguns, but one of these days I'll post up some of my rifle targets! :D

Forgot to mention I also got the Hogue Handall Grip while I was there for $8. Didn't put it on til I got home though. I like it, even more comfortable than it already was!

I actually found time to hit the range today. I put another 130 rounds through the 9VE and didn't have a single problem. I can already see my aim improving as I get used to the trigger. I really like this gun. I was shooting Blazer Brass again (all I've tried so far), and I'm starting to...

If it's not something that indicates a bigger problem I'll take care of it myself, I was kinda thinking about polishing the slide anyway. Guess I'll have to break out the files when I do. Thanks

I picked up my Sigma yesterday to clean it and I noticed something strange. There is a gash in the slide where the barrel meets and locks. I've only shot 50 rounds through this gun and, while I believe the damage is only cosmetic, I don't think it should have this kind of wear. It looks like...

Wow... I've heard WWB wasn't good, but I didn't think it was that bad! Thanks for the heads up... I'll stick to the Blazer Brass from Dunn's until I save up enough brass to start reloading.

I stopped back by Dunn's and got another box of Blazer Brass on my way home from shooting actually! lol... Walmart also has WWB value packs $18 for 100

Thanks... I thought that was decent for my first 50 rounds... and from 15-20 yards too!

I made it out to my Dad's to do some shooting today. I only went through a box of 50, but I had ZERO malfunctions. I really like this handgun... I do need to get used to the trigger though. I shot from 15-20 yards, and all but one fell in the 8" square in the pic. I staged the trigger through...

Very informative guys... The Sigma came out to $289.99 after the rebate. I also left with a box of Blazer Brass for $10.99. I'm just north of there in Imperial. So, should I be using a dry lube on the Sigma instead of Rem Oil? The Rem Oil coats very light and I don't soak it.
