Don't gotta convince me, I have had one too many glasses of glockaid. I use a Glock for matches and it's awesome. I have done this and if these were the only two guns I had I'd be happy. .... OK, that's just lie but yes get both.

The ones I got appear to have even thicker baseplates than those. I just got them in the mail and the baseplates are a thick rubber. Very good for me since I plan to use them for competition and they seem like they could take a hard fall. Mine are these: http://www.cdnninvestments.com/be92f9mm15el.html

Nascar if you need more mags try cdnninvestments. I just got the Elite 92F mags for $20/each. They have military contract ones for $15/each. Cheapest I could find them and they are in stock.

My friend and I made a bootleg (very bootleg) version of the maze course. OK, wasn't really a version the course, I just got inspired by it and put in something so we'd have to work our feet and watch our gun orientation. Fun nonetheless. http://youtu.be/WjpIFXdudn0 http://youtu.be/7gMAt0mXsbk

Wipes koolaid off mouth and stumbles... don't yous tells me whens I hads enough to drinks, i tells you whens i hads enough to drink... now gimme my keys to my gun safe.... That's interesting actually. Never been to a major match like that, but locally I still see a lot of Glock action. I'm like a hair trigger pull away from committing to a 34 for my dedicated production gun, don't add confusion to the mix! LOL!

You have to have two cameras. One is zoomed in on the target and the other is on the gun. Then they are synced in my editor. A bit of a pain in the a** but worth it for the results.

I'd like to know more bout the P290, I don't know if I'd ever get one since it has little application for my situation. The 26 shoots like a full size, that's the great thing about it. I've used it in just about every type of competition/ match and it holds its own easily.

It's a tough call really and like some have said no absolute right or wrong. My personal experience has been that with reloads the Glocks I have shot more extensively have struggled. I borrowed a 34 for a match and had three double feeds in the first stage. My 26 also has the same issue sometimes. Meanwhile my Kimber eats EVERYTHING (SWC, HP, FP) with pretty big variances in overall length. However, the slide stop and slide had to be be replaced when I first got the Kimber as it had some pre mature lock up issues. Out of the box an issue like this is VERY rare for a Glock. Problem is he's making a bit too much of a generalization. I won't say his experiences and opinions don't hold some weight given his experience and observations. But even with that said you still cannot speak for everyone. There are also many qualified instructors at his level who would not hesitate to use a 1911.

Main reason I wouldn't open carry is cause I wouldn't want to be harassed by authorities or get looks from people. I know some people feel the need to make a statement by carrying open (not all people, just some people) but not me. If it were legal I'd definitely carry concealed.

I have a Rat izula which is a small neck knife. RAT, ESEE has a HUGE following from outdoor enthusiasts and make some great knives. I'd definitely go look here first: http://www.eseeknives.com/index2.htm

That's a great looking gun. I actually like it with the rail. I have a non-railed version.

Good to know.

I get fluctuations like that as well. Can't really pin it down, but the info as some have posted makes sense. I did not get any issues in function or could tell a difference in pressure. So I just let it be.

It's an excellent gun. Love mine. I actually used it as my primary USPSA production gun for a while, LOL! You get all kinds of looks when you do that. But it actually holds it's own very well. I use it for steel as well and honestly it shoots like a full size.

I had the HK USP Compact 9mm. I now own a Sig P228. They really are very different guns. I like the Sig's trigger better. Especially when it has the Short Reset Trigger. Ergos is a toss up and depends on user preference really. Both are very reliable and high quality. I shoot better with the Sig, but the HK is very reliable and some people have had more success with them. Problem with HK is they usually do not have rentals available from what I've seen. But there are plenty of people who have them on here that I'm sure are willing to let you try. Sigs can be rented at Shoreshot in Lakewood. I too regret selling my USP Compact.

I was looking at this, seems pretty nice. Seems like it can take a bit more of a beating since it's a hard case. The Otis one is nice as well.

GSSF is fun, but there's only a couple matches a year. Indoor at Shore Shot that's if they do it again. And possibly again at CJRPC. I could be wrong, there may be more planned. But that's how it was last year. Steel is great cause it's frequent enough between CJRPC, OBRPC, and Tenafly and you don't have to join any league/be a member of an organization. Probably the easiest discipline to learn as well.

Spydero Sharpmaker. Very easy to use for a guy new to sharpening. Belt sanders require a bit more skill to use and might be a bit much for a guy starting out. Also it's a little over the top for a small pocket knife unless you have several you need sharpened regularly. http://www.amazon.com/Spyderco-Tri-Angle-Sharpmaker-Sharpener-204MF/dp/B000Q9C4AE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329250242&sr=8-1

I flip mine. This one is about $500.

Can you guys recommend me a decent handgun cleaning kit that is small and portable? I just want something to have when I stay away from home. I did some online research and some things come up but wanted some local reviews/thoughts.

Thanks Jon. Well at 4.9gr which I thought was a huge drop the casings were still flying into face of whoever was standing on my right. People actually thought my loads felt "hot" but then I was the only guy with a 45 that night so might have just been all relative. Now I got some loaded at 4.6gr. I increased OAL from 1.235 to 1.240 (Min is 1.19" according to load data). I also have some 250gr "Pinbusters" loaded at 4.6gr and 4.3gr. Now those should be interesting.

I shot my first ProAm style match at Tenafly last month. It was a practice match, the real one I did not enter. Lots of fun. Basically it's knock down steel with movement and different scoring rules and par times. I don't see much of it around here, but maybe I'm missing something. Anyone know of any ProAm style matches in NJ?

From my experience I've never had cheap 22lr ammo fire after striking it a second time. Even the good stuff usually doesn't go off. I do not recall a moment where it has ever happened. But that's just me. Centerfire yes.

Wow, unbelievable stages. Specially that last one. You gotta have some legs to do it. That maze like one looked real tricky.

Took it down to 4.9gr from 5.2gr. Shot about 80 rounds last night. All worked fine, but to be honest not much of a difference in felt recoil. I did a back to back test with a mag of 5.2gr and one with 4.9gr and if you were to ask me I would not be able to tell you which is which. But not sure if I really wanna cut this down anymore. Some guys said a slower burning powder is better for a softer feeling recoil. Accurate #2 is supposed to be a very fast burning powder I hear.
