I pushed a little on 3 separate range days to get the last 1500 rounds done. I have 4 of the Mec-Gar 15 round magazines, so I would shoot 60 rounds, then load 60 while the gun cooled. I shot mostly steel targets from 15 to 100 yards with a focus on whether or not…
Baby’s got new screws…and magazine springs. The first screws I ordered from McMaster-Carr were lost in USPS- Haslet for two weeks. They were the wrong head diameter (my fault). I found Freedom Gorilla has all sizes of screws for Holosun optics and I ordered a set of M4 by 10mm screws from them. They were…

I decided to answer the question of how much the extended tang means for performance shooting, first. I settled on 1 shot from the holster for 10 reps with each, Girsan and the Mk. II Browning. I worked the drill from 10 yards on an 8″ steel plate. I started with the Girsan with no…
First, Steve would have thought this thing to be ugly! He likely would have phrased it in these pages as something along the line of how he preferred the classic lines of the Hi Power. If I had presented it to him, he would likely have added some adjectives to how ugly it was, knowing…
