Got mine yesterday. Ruger MKIII Competition. Already added hiviz front sight and got Volquartsen accuarizing kit and Tandemkross parts ordered for the annoying safety features ordered. Now just got to find a good smith to install all my goodies when they get here. I'm stoked!!

I've been to a couple of the shows at Dickson. Usually a pretty big crowd but not many vendors. A lot of junk for sale but not many guns in the past. Tables full of flea market crap for the most part. I live about 15 minutes from the fairgrounds and don't plan on going. I'd rather drive an hour to either guns & leather location and look around. Better deals and don't have to pay for admission.. Just my two cents.

Well I'm glad it worked out for you. It seems I'm always looking for hard to find pistols. Now if I can find a Sig p938 I'll be set for awhile. Good luck with your xds, mine's been flawless so far and it's my favorite pistol.

Yeah I heard it's gonna be identical in size but chambered in 9mm.. It'll be really popular too. I'm well satisfied with my 45. To me the recoil is very manageable. Not what I was expecting from a tiny plastic 45 acp..

Thought I'd let you guys know I just left Guns and Leather and as of now they've got Springfield Xds 45's in stock. They got in 33 of them today... 1 bitone and the rest are all black. Price on the black ones was like $529 or $539 and the bitone was around $579. All the numbers got mixed up in my head but that's close. Better go get you one, mine is one of my all time favorites.

[quote name="Rowdy" post="881480" timestamp="1357916355"]The tone of this article tells me they don't think a weapons ban will happen. They still hope for a hi cap mag ban. [url=http://nyti.ms/Smseon]http://nyti.ms/Smseon[/url][/quote] That's what I gathered from the article. I don't think the gun community needs to budge an inch on any more gun regulations. We all know if you give them an inch they'll try to take a mile. Just my 2 cents..

Thanks for the advice Matt. I'm still on the fence about the texture. I had a Sig Scorpion with the G10 grips with Pirhanna texture and I loved those grips. They're not real comfortable after a long range session, but man are they grippy.

Pretty sure I want the G10 and pretty aggressive. I think now maybe the operator 2 is what I'm gonna get. Now just to figure out the best color on stainless. I'm gonna add the Ed Brown magwell and mainspring housing too so I guess I better make sure the grips are cut for a magwell. I'll post some pictures after all my goodies come in.

Diamondbacks is what I'm thinking not Gatorbacks. I think the Diamondbacks are the most aggressive.

Hey fellas, So I got a new Kimber Stainless II today and I want to order some new VZ grips for it but there's just so many options that I'm kinda overwhelmed. It will probably be a range gun with occasional use for carry. I want something really aggressive and am leaning toward the Gatorbacks. Any opinions on which style and color on a stainless gun would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance. It's the gun on the right.

Well I went ahead and went this morning and was pleasantly surprised. I agree with Hozzie, way better than the last few Goodmans shows. I got some trigger work done on a couple of my Glocks so it was worth it that I went. I don't know how tomorrow will be but if your on the fence go ahead and go. There's some deals to be had. FWIW

Looks great. I had a Scorpion with the Hogue g10 grips and loved that Piranha texture. Man it sure made it stick to your hands. Great choice..

Thanks for the info guys. I'll probably do like hipower said and try and wait for a report before driving from Dickson.

I was just wondering if anyone was going to the show this weekend at the Ag Expo in Franklin? I've never been to one of the RK shows and was wondering they're any good. Does anyone know if a Glock Armorer might be there? I was wanting to get some work done on a couple Glocks. Thanks

That looks nice. I'm gonna look into that. Thanks Whiskey

To each his own I guess. I just can't stand plain black sights on any of mine. I always jack up my trucks and put mudders on em too, even though it's probably not necessary. Lol

I recently got a Ruger mkIII 22/45 with the 5.5" bull barrel and wondered what you guys would suggest to replace the rear square notched sight. I already replaced the front sight with a Hiviz fiber optic and it's great. The rear still needs upgrading too for my taste and I wondered if ya'll know of anything? I don't know if a fiber optic is available or if I should just fill in the square notch groove with white paint. I'd appreciate ya'lls input. Thanks

Well I'm no photographer but here you go.

Coldbore.. I'll check it out.. Thanks

Well I ended up buying a new Gen3 today . I think the nickel boron slide made my mind up for me. It just looked different than all the rest and I'm always a sucker fir something a little different. The only nickel ones were gen3 and it just felt better to me. I went ahead and got TFO night sights, slug plug, and a holster while I was there so I'm good to go. Thanks everyone for your replies, it really helped me.

Well I still can't decide.. I knew ya'll would give me more to think about.. lol

Yeah I forgot about the extra mag with the gen4, that does make a difference with the price. Thanks

I haven't even held a Gen3 in a long time so I'll have to compare the two grips to see which feels right I guess.

Yeah that's the one I'm leaning toward. I'll be up there tomorrow to see ya'll and get one or the other. Right now I just don't see the extra $40 for the gen4. I'll probably end up putting an extended mag release and slide stop on it anyway.

I'm about to buy a new Glock 19 and was wondering what you guys think about Gen3 or Gen4. I've had a Gen4 Glock 27 but really no experience with Gen3 Glocks. I didn't use the backstraps on the one I had so what's the advantage of the Gen4's? Guns & Leather has Gen3's for $509 and Gen4's for $549.. I guess I'm just needing help deciding which one to get. Any first hand experience would be appreciated. Thanks
