Some of the responders may have misunderstood my first post. I always look to determine what is the accuracy capable of a any handgun that I shoot from a two handed rested position. My standard is a 5 inch group (or less) at 25yards for handguns with barrels greater then 2.5 inches. If I can...

Thanks for the feedback. I know the larger/longer barrel firearms are more conductive to obtaining smaller groups. But I'm on my second G26 and I've previously owned a G27 for a few years...I could/can obtain less then 3 inch groups at 25yds with all those three and one/half inch barreled...

Hello, I typically test for pistol accuracy by shooting five shot groups and measuring the best (closest) 3 out of 5. With my 1911's fullsize and commander length .45's, my SIG 226 and 229 9mm, and my Glock 19 and 26 9mm, I am able to shoot premium HP ammo and consistently get less then 3 inch...

I tested the Hornady 115gr XTP and Speer 115gr GD standard velocity rounds in my shield. At 25yds I obtained 3.5 inch (best) to 5 inch (worst) groups (best 4 out of 5 rounds) from both loads using a two-handed rested position. No failures to feed/function with either load. However my POI for...

The Ameriglo web site indicates 4 S&W front sights are .140 in width and 1 is .130 in width. I measured my Shield factory front sight and it is .140 I think I'll be good to go. regards,

Gynstrom, I'm happy with my Shield trigger as it is now and have no plans to install the Apex striker block. I have more load testing to do but when I settle on the most accurate defensive JHP out of my Shield, I plan to keep the factory rear sight and replace the front sight with a Ameriglo...

Had the time to install the Apex hard sear & striker block today. Thanks to Gnystrom & the Randy Lee video, the hard sear install went relatively easy. The striker block not so. I heated up the rear sight set screw to (hopefully) "loosen" the red locktite on it. Well, long story short I've...

Thank you again. regards,

GNYSTROM, Thank you for the link. Your post appears to indicate that after I wiggle the safety aside/off, I do not have to remove the ejector before pushing the sear pin out to replace the hard sear...or did I understand it wrong? thanks,

Hello, I've watched the Burwell and Apex videos for removal of the sear assembly and install of the Apex hard sear but they do not show how the piece that is the thumb safety is removed/reinstalled on the Shield's sear assembly. I would appreciate anyone explaining how it's done/what I need...

HOLLOW POINT Ammo : Ammunition To Go regards

Being a civilian CCW carrier I rely on others in the firearms field that test ammo performance (note I did note say stopping power) to some, but not all, of the performance criteria the FBI uses for selection of ammo. For the non-LEO/civilian scenarios I may encounter, I look for posted...

I currently carry the Fed 110gr JHP Personnel Defense rounds in my 342, 642, and Colt Cobra. When I can obtain the Fed Nyclad 125gr JHP I'll test it out in my lightweights. I use the Speer GD 135gr JHP in my steel frame 38"s. From Combat Handguns Nov 2005 tests by Mike Boyle. Rounds fired into...
