The old "Buy once, cry once" saying. I know. It's a done deal in my head, just really didn't plan to spend that much. Oh well, it's only money. Man the wife is gonna be po'd.

I went shopping for a full size 9mm today. I had pretty much narrowed it down to 5 models before I went out: HK P30L Sig P226 Elite Dark CZ 75B Beretta 92FS M&P 9 pro 5" There are 2 reasons for this purchase. 1. I don't have a full size 9. ( every body should have at least one) 2. I want something to use starting out in USPSA (production). I really wanted to love the CZ but, I not only didn't love it, I didn't even like it, at all. It didn't feel right in my hand and honestly it felt cheap. The Beretta seemed a bit better quality wise but, still didn't feel right in my hand. The P226 was nice, it felt good and it was very solid and well made. The M&P didn't have a solid, quality feel to it but, it sure fit my hand nice. And that light DAO trigger would be great for USPSA. The HK, Ah the HK. That thing felt incredible! It seemed to wrap itself into my hand and I didn't want to put it down. My only concern with it is that HEAVY trigger pull in DA. Even with that, I can't stop thinking about it. I mean part of me wants to sell all my handguns and buy all HK's. Can anyone give me a reason to go with the $600 M&P over the $1000 HK?

HK P30L

Well, I'm going to SS tomorrow to play with the FN anyway. Hopefully, they have a CZ for me to check out.

It's not just the ammo either. For the FNP I would need a holster and mag pouches as well. Also having a really tough time finding extra mags for it. Besides, I bought that one for a specific purpose, it's going to have a light mounted and sit in the nightstand. I guess I'm really just trying to justify buying another gun... Ater all, I do have one permit left.

Yes it's excluded. Too bad, i really like that CZ 75 SA Target model. I may just give it a shot with the FNP-45 but practice is very expensive with .45.

After going to the October match at OB, I am really interested in getting involved. Currently I have a Sig p220 carry SAS and a FNP-45. Would one of these be ok for someone very new to competitive shooting? I have been planning on getting a full size 9mm anyway, so would that be a better choice? Currently looking at the CZ 75B and the Sig p226. They both have so many variations, making a choice difficult. DA/SA, SA only, night sights, fiber optic sights, so much to think about. They sure don't make it easy.

Welcome!

Not a bad idea.

What happened to the calendar of events on the OBPRC website?

Ok, so you guys were right. I was kinda kicking myself for not bringing anything to shoot. Then again, I only had 2 hours before I had to get home. I spent about an hour watching on the first stage thinking, eh, this is kind of boring. Then I walked around and checked out the other stages. Definitely looks like someting I could get into. Next time I will be prepared. Just need to decide between the single stack p220 or double stack FNP-45. Maybe even go out and pick up something in 9mm. I had planned to get there earlier to meet some of you guys but I didn't show up until about 10:45. I did introduce myself to Harry but that was about it. I didn't want to disturb anyone while they were getting ready to shoot. So, when's the next one?

Wow. What a bunch of enablers! Thanks for the offer. It's a p220 carry sas. Single stack. I have plenty of mags and a serpa holster for it. The only thing i would need would be mag holders. But, I will not be needing them. I really just want to check it out right now.

I'm sure. I'm not really equipped anyway. I have a holster for the p220 but no mag holders. I have nothing for the FNP45, it hasn't even been fired yet. I just want to check it out and see if it's something I may be interested in trying out this spring. I will definitely be coming by though.

I plan on coming by to check this out. I don't plan on shooting, this time. What is a good time to stop by to get a good idea what it's all about?

Frightfest at Great Adventure, Zombies and Killer Clowns all over the place...

Ah yes, the famous 452 trigger. Most are known for pre travel and serious creep. This one is actually pretty crisp. No pre travel and just a little creep. It's a little heavy for my taste though. I have a set of lighter springs and an adjustable sear for it. I may play around with that today.

Will do. I'll probably get it sighted in next weekend at Shoreshot when I go test out my FNP45.

All cleaned up and ready to go.

I just picked this up from Ira last week. Had a chance to clean it and mount the scope today. Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 3-9x40.

It's a YHM Diamond Fluted 14.5" barrel w/ pinned brake. http://yhm.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17_29_58&products_id=399
