STOP!!!!! OK, wait a minute... Somewhere here we have to assume common sense comes into play, even in Illinois! But some of the claims made here make me breathe heavy... When we refer to a single hole, multiple rounds through a single hole give obvious indications of "multiple rounds" entering...

Sorry for being slow to get back to you... I was attending the four day defensive handgun course at Front Sight. The wood is Desert Ironwood from Cherokee Hills Grips

Like you... I tried to like the grips but just couldn't get past them...

I just completed the Front Sight Four Day Defensive Handgun Course in Pahrump Nevada. I used my new S&W E-Series SW 1911 SC with ~ 75 rounds down the tube (prior to the course). During the four day course I fired ~550 rounds of Blazer 230 grain FMJ. I also had to practice clearing type 1, 2...

You can't beat the beltman!!

I'm older than dirt... the Big Dot XS sights for thoracic cavity/ocular cavity shooting are outstanding!! Drive that big dot to the center mass, dot the "I" and squeeze the trigger! I set the tactical range targets up for 2 second exposure (the target turns from edge to "face" for two seconds...

Can't argue with the 54 action comments... but this little 1416 D HB shoots like a laser!!

You're not the only one with the "red dot splotch" issue! I had to put away all of my red dots for now... I have sever astigmatism, glaucoma and cataracts. when I look at a red dot I see a figure 8 elliptical! I'm having my first cataract surgery in two weeks, as part of the surgery my...

Cptcurl, VQ makes a nice expensive rifle that is very accurate. You can also do a search on Tony Kidd who makes 10/22 custom rifles and parts. Using Tony's parts, you can modify an existing 10/22 rifle (trigger group, receiver, bolt, barrel, ETC) to your hearts content. I purchased one of his...

TIA, I have them installed on all of my 1911s (Kimber Ultra Raptor, Kimber Tac Entry and a S&W PC 1911). I went with the big dot and find them lightning fast on target acquisition. I shoot "timed targets" at my local gun club with two second cycles to triple tap the target. The sights ARE NOT...

S&W PC 1911 or the E-Series SC 1911. Both guns are the same weight and the round butt will make them easy to carry.

John, I feel your pain... 70 years old, glaucoma and cataracts... matter of fact I'm having my first cataract surgery next month. I equipped my PC 1911 with XS Sight's Big Dot. They are terrific... They are combat sights NOT target sights... But I can nail thoracic cavity double taps at 25...

I dumped the standard sights for XS Sights and the gun has been flawless! (Why Smith didn't equip that gun with night sights is beyond me)

John, I have a similar issue... I had XS Sights installed on my 1911 PC (the large dot version). They are very fast on the target... just dot the "I" and squeeze the trigger!

Pictures as promised. What I'm referring to is two fold... First, note the "groove" in the silver area of the bushing... that groove is a couple thousands of an inch indented into the bushing surface. Also, note in the 2nd photo how rough the finish is on the bushing surface (I believe the...
