My LGS is starting to see his pistol inventory get back to close to normal, and prices are pretty close to normal. Long guns are still slightly elevated but people keep buying them..... Ammo is a whole different ball game

No one told me the TEC-9 was back...and more expensive than ever...

That's a good point, I've been tempted to try and sell mine just because of some of the stupid prices I've seen out there.... But the Scorpions are still bargains based on some of the others mentioned above. -

My Scorpion is tops on my list when it comes to range days... -
Big Olight fan here, the Seeker Pro being my favorite

Love it! Just got back from shooting my 457 AT-ONE, great shooting
-
Agree with the mag dump, a little heat can do wonders.
-
I had a set on a Rami and really liked them. Once I got used to them I felt like I was just as accurate with them as any other type of sight, and much easier to pick up quickly.

I have both, kind of, my 41 being an older model and my Ruger being a 22/45 lite. That being said with the price difference I'd go Ruger all day. Both are excellent, the price tag would be the determining factor for me. You aren't getting any extra performance at double the price. IMO.

Nice purchase, sometimes when you handle a firearm and you just have to have it the matter of whether or not it's a "good" buy goes out the door! FWIW - I found the Sig Forum (or at least the one I'm a member of) to be very helpful and for the most part friendly.

For me the 509T was the first gun that I felt comfortable with shooting with an optic. I had a 320RX, a Q5 Match and a CZ SP-01 with red dots and never liked shooting them. The 509T was just different for me, I could pick the gun up, find the dot and boom hit the target. Not sure if it's the mounting system or what but it just works. The trigger isn't great but it isn't bad either. I usually replace or at least work on all my triggers but I've chose to leave the 509T alone. It's my "living room" gun and the trigger is fine for that use.

Nice looking setup! I've had a FN509T since they first came out and it's the only pistol so far that I felt comfortable shooting with a RMR mounted on. I picked up a 509M a while back and really liked it but sold it to help perpetuate my never ending rotation of firearms. It was nice but not as nice as my P10C so it didn't make the cut to be kept. I agree 100% that they are often overlooked, and if I needed something to fill the compact slot it would be my 2nd choice. I'm not to the point to where I like RMR on my carry guns, but I just bought the OR P10S in case I change my mind later down the road...

You would have to have the SW Shield slide milled to fit the optic.
-
I have a Vortex Venom on my FN509T and love it for range time and as a house gun but like Mamba above I wouldn't put one on a CC gun. I do love the Walther PPQ platform, man those are sweet striker triggers!
-
If it were mine I would try another couple of boxes of ammo and see what happened. If I had more problems then I would send it back. I've had mine since they first came out, 1500 or so rounds with no FTF or FTE, not that has any bearing on how yours is performing.
-
Obviously just a little bit heavier but very similar in feel in hand. Most of the time my 1911s are used more for just plinking as I carry either striker or DA/SA options most of the time. I do like the flat trigger on the ECP, I changed out the ECO trigger to a black one shortly after I got it just because I think it looked better than the silver one it came with. Can't go wrong with either IMO.

My LGS ordered it for me, I did some trading to get the out of pocket down a bit...

200 rounds of crappy Blazer 115g this afternoon and it are it up like a kid eating candy. Smooth as butter, definitely one sweet handgun (and I expected nothing less)
-
Picked this one up yesterday to replace the ECO I parted with to help fund a motorcycle purchase. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but hopefully soon!
-
Glad to hear you are liking it. Carried mine for the first time Sunday and really pleased with the it in the SlimTuk holster.
-
So far it's been 115 and 124 g, mostly Fiocchi, Federal and Blazer.
-
Still haven't been able to put my hands on one of these! Looks sweet!
-
50 rounds of JHP this afternoon, ran like a champ. Mags loaded up and it goes into the rotation

RANGE USA Closed up shop in the middle of the night

Well glad I didn't extend my membership a few months back (Jackson). The one is Jackson was OK but the employees spent more time on their phones than doing anything else. Never had all the lanes working, would have the air and ventilation off and wouldn't turn it on unless you asked, etc... I had already decided to let my membership go out so not a huge loss. -
Why spend $283 when you could get a Hi-Point for $180? Holster arrived Sat, nice fit and tucks nicely iwb. Few hundred more rounds with some defense rounds in the mix and it will go into the rotation.
