  1. Just something to add, yours is the newer models that come with the full size range bag. The old ones came with smaller range bags that only had a single main compartment and no outer pockets.
  2. Does it include all original accessories? I thought those came with 2x 15 round magazines.
  3. I'm confused. So this is a converted pistol that was pieced together and not original?
  4. Ammo and barrel are the two biggest factors. The first thing you need to obtain is quality ammo. If the ammo cannot consistently hold sub-MOA, nothing else matters. Most commercial ammo and surplus general-issue ammo (which is generally just rejected mil-issue surplus) will shoot between 2-3MOA. Quality sub-MOA ammo runs $1-2 a round. Typically, the 69gr through 77gr BTJHP rounds have the best performance, depending on your specific barrel. The absolute best (generally speaking) are the rounds based on the Mk 262 round. Secondly, comes the barrel. You need a barrel capable of said sub-MOA precision. Is it possible to get one of these off a standard production line by chance? Yes, but it's very rare. If you want a guaranteed sub-MOA barrel, you need to pay for it. Every high-end manufacturer has their own variation of some accuracy-build, but few build true match-grade barrels. Everything else is in how the gun comes together. Can you throw a good barrel and ammo on a gun yourself and make it work? Sure, but it takes experience to know what other minor things affect accuracy. Because of this, it's far easier to buy a completed rifle from a manufacturer that builds precision rigs than it is to try to build your own (or hope to simply throw a better barrel on a typical production rifle like a Colt). That's why it gets expensive. As far as recommendations, Noveske rifles have traditionally been (or at least were) the sweet spot of being highly accurate out of the box without paying for a full custom rifle (I'm not so sure what their current production quality looks like). There's another manufacturer (their name eludes me) who has a guaranteed .5 MOA build, but their guns run about $5k new. If it was me and my money, I would look into the Crane SPR builds. The Navy's NWSC put money into developing a highly accurized M4, known as the Special Purpose Rifle (SPR). It's since been mostly retired, but it consisted of an 18" barreled medium contour build and was easily sub-MOA. They're very popular as clone projects, and sourcing the original parts can be quite challenging. That said, Precision Reflex was involved with sourcing many of the parts for the original SPRs and they now sell complete SPR uppers, as well as the components needed to assemble them. These are in the ballpark of just under $2k and are generally sub-MOA, albeit that's for the upper. What many shooters end up doing is starting with basic idea of the 18" SPR and modifying it from there. Most accurized AR15s end up being some sort of SPR-like variant. That's where I'd start.
  5. How many rounds through it, and has it been carried? Im interested and in the Nashville area as well.
  6. As the title states, I'm looking for a dealer, preferably near Nashville, that has USP Compact 9mm's in stock. Anyone know of one?
