  1. It felt very 1911-ish, different but familiar if that makes sense. I will end up buying one when I get a few other projects completed.
  2. I've shot 50 or so rounds through 2 different guns. They shot well and felt good in the hand. I own a Staccato XC, P, and C2. With that being said, I wont be replacing any of the Staccatos with it, but I will probably buy one because its a good gun, that takes Glock mags lol. I'm not a fan of the Prodigy, IMO, its an $800 gun selling for about twice that. The new Girsan I handled felt like it had gravel in the slide and a 8 pound notchy trigger. This is just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
  3. They had several at The Outpost Armory in Murfreesboro Saturday. They also have one as a rental at their range.
  4. I do , i use a crucial concealment iwb at 3:30. It feel about the same as a G19 to me.
  5. 20 rounds at 3 yards, 20 rounds at 5 yards, 10 rounds at 7 yards, B29 target. 70% passing score. Rimfire or centerfire allowed.
  6. I have about 200 rounds through mine now, no malfunctions whatsovever with a mix of 147 gr lawman, 124 gr winchester, 115 gr federal, and a magazine of hornady xtp 124 gr. The trigger was excellent and seems to be even better now. finish is holding up and internals looked good during a detail clean. Im very pleased with this pistol, so much so that I lucked out and got another one for my oldest son, a consecutive serial number, both 3 digits. I paid a little over msrp, but lifes too short and you cant take it with you. Hes shot and handled my 1911's, my sigs, glocks, cz's, you name it, but he lit up with this one! Its going to be worth it to me when I give it to him!
  7. My magazines are stamped Made in Italy. Look to be mec gar mags with the springfield logo engraved on them. I recieved my gun Friday, Its definitely worth the msrp, I would have waited had i not got in early before the crazy price war. I cleaned it and ran 2 magazines of 147 gr speer lawman through it, very accurate, smooth shooting gun. Trigger pull measured 4.5 pounds, crisp break. sights are good, pistol felt well balanced and typical springfield good fit and finish. Im very happy with this gun and am on the list for another one, but i wont overpay for it. I'll put more rounds through it this week, been super busy the last few days. Pics i have are too big to attach, but it really is a very nice weapon.
  8. Monday thru Saturday 9-8, Sunday 12-5. We clear the range about 10 minutes before closing.
  9. I work on the Range side of the new Outpost, I don't post much here, but thought I'd chime in on a couple of things and give a brief description of the range, 7-25yd lanes, rifle/pistol/shotgun, upper cal limit is .308, shotguns use slug or buck only, no hip fire. 7-15yd lanes, handgun only, 3-100 yd rifle, .50 cal max. The only ammo restrictions are no tracers or incendiary rounds. You CAN shoot reloads, steel case, steel core, green tip, etc. Not part of any other range, Barrett owns the store and range. Cant speak on the reloading section of the store, I stick to the range side as an Instructor/RSO. You guys are welcome to come check it out and if Im not tied up I'll show you around. Bud
  10. I was sitting on the fantail of the USS Sellers DDG-11, tied up to the pier in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. We'd done engineering drills all morning and a bunch of us went topside to watch. It was pretty shocking to see it happen. We got underway a few hours later to join the search effort.
  11. Ive had over 40 bikes since I started riding in the early 70's. All brands and styles, Motorcycles are my lifetime passion. Don't street ride a lot anymore because of all the distracted drivers, usually early morning blasts up the mountain. I still ride dirt every week and race a hare scramble once in a while. Ride a bunch of bikes and pick what fits you and your style. Theres tons of info out there theses days tohelp point you in the right direction. I had to chime in when the sportsters came up! Ive got a 1999 1200S, Ive owned it longer than any other bike Ive had. Its been through several rebuilds and upgrades. Ive thought about selling it, but just cant let it go. Ive put a lot of time and money into the engine and its my back road cruise missle lol.
  12. dave, it was on sale. I think its through june 30th. it was 224 prior to the sale.
  13. 300 rounds so far, see my 1st post Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. This is the one I purchased, it came with flat magazine plates in the box and I swapped one to take up less room in my pack. Overall very happy with it, light accurate reliable so far, easy to take down and clean, and a lifetime warranty. Didn't want to add a caliber so I wanted another 9mm.
  15. Hi, I rarely post, just lurk a lot and take in the info! I had been looking for a pistol in 9mm or .45 to carry in my hydration pack when riding my dirtbike. Ive got several handguns, but wanted something that wouldn't be too heavy or too nice to get banged around. I picked up a sccy cpx-1 at the Outpost earlier this week for 200 bucks and took it to the range this morning. I put 150 rounds of speer lawman 124 grain and 150 rounds of Remington umc 115 grain through it. It performed perfectly, no jams, no fte's, nothing. It was pie-plate accurate out to 10 yards, which is all I expect from it. Recoil is a little snappy but not bad . ( my 13 yo daughter shot about 50 rounds and didn't complain), I have several other high-end pistols, but this is one that suits my needs perfectly. I guess my reason for this post is Ive read pros and cons, watched videos, etc , but it far exceeded my expectations. If I only had a budget of 200 for a pistol, this would be the one.
