Considering a Crimson trace unit on my Glock 17 1st gen. Any one have experience with the CT unit?

I have Crimson Trace laser grips on my Glock 23. I love it b/c it beefs up the grip a little more and gives me a firmer grip. I also have the sights zeroed in. Definitely pick up the CT laser grips.

Went shooting for the second time ever a few days ago. Shot a Kimber 1911 with Crimson Trace. Not sure the exact model but I liked it...

Need one of each

ive got a 91/30 myself, paid 90 bucks and it came with a bayonet, sling, and ammo pouch. i kinda annoying though, mine has a headspace issue. once i fire i have trouble getting the spent brass ejected, the bolt seizes up when the brass expands. im pretty sure there is a bur in the chamber due to marks on the spent brass

I just was told tooth paste can help.
put it on a shell cycle it a bunch of times and it'll help.

Worth a try ... i guess?

I myself have a m44 and will be getting a 91/30 once I get another safe. I am a fanatic for those rifles. Such fun so cheap

I'm really having a tough time figuring out my new Kel Tec P11.

They have a reputation for needing a lot of "fluff and buff" before being ready for carry.

I've put 50 rounds through it and had 2 misfeeds, which apparantly goes away after break in.

Someone suggested I field strip it and buff and polish the feed ramp with a dremel, which I did last night. Haven't gotten to test it yet.

I've put some Militec 1 grease on the slide rails as well as breach and that helped a lot with the stiffness.

I'm not sold yet on this 9mm, although several people recommended it as the lightest and smallest possible concealed weapon. Might just sacrifice the weight issue and stick with my trusty old 357 magnum....

Get a S&W J-Frame .38spl + p. It allows for a faster followup shot compared to the 357 magnum.

I bought a P3AT as a back up carry and I polished the feedramp with a dremel and so ultra fine polishing compound I also worked some slip 2000 EWL oil into the slide rails and have not had any feed issues since. I have about 750 or so rounds through it. I don't shoot this much as it is my back up(as if my HK would ever fail).

Jordan,

Is that IWB holster comfortable with the two straps?

Yes.

It's a Milt Sparks VM2. Probably one of the best holsters I've found. Period.

They're hand made and take about 6 to 10 months to get once you order though

My most new toy it is a S&W M&P .45

I will have some more of other things here in a bit.
