Never looked at one. Holy shit, they had so much real estate, and ended up with that tiny ass window.
The problem is the thickness of the rim around the lens. It's annoying when you focus on the target and makes target transitions slower than they need to be.
I wonder if anyone at Aimpoint actually shoots handguns.
That's what I was referring to, just poorly worded it. And yes, I wonder that too.
My pictures do not represent what I see looking through it, I was using the camera up close to focus on the BUIS on the Jagerwerks slide.
I've used older RMR's, SRO's, Sig's Romeo X Compact recently and various Holosun's. My G19 MOS had an Acro P1, Holosun 509T Gen 1 and checked out the Gen 2 and now has the Acro P2. There is various Pro and Cons to each red dot to each red dot out there, and with my astigmatism the ACRO P2 works better for me over the older RMR's and Holosun sights that I have tried. I prefer dealing with the thicker body while having a very clear window with the least noticeable distortion and tint through the window while having a dot that doesn't starburst as much as the others listed.
Now if Aimpoint could make the 509T form factor and more dot options, I'd be sold.
Very cool,Here's my Delta Force (CAG) 1911 with some other rare US military 1911's in my collection. I really enjoy collecting and researching US military 1911's, they're great pistols and each type has it's own unique history. My Delta 1911 is in the middle row, to the right of a Remington Rand 1911. The bottom 2 pistols are both USMC MARSOC used and documented Colt M45A1 1911's. The pistol at the top of the photo is an interesting USMC MEUSOC 1911, it's serial number MC1. The "MC" obviously stands for Marine Corps, and it's the very first of the USMC "MC" serial number prefix Caspian frames.
Both of the 1911's in the photos below have Remington Rand frames that were made in the 1940's, and both pistols have been rebuilt numerous times since then. The pistol on the left still has it's original Remington Rand slide (at least I'm assuming that it could be original to this frame), and the Delta pistol on the right has a Caspian slide that was made in the 1990's. These are my 2 favorite 1911's, and they both have very interesting history.
The 1911 on the left has a FOIA that documents it being in Iraq at some point. @cplnorton will have to verify this, but I think that this pistol is the only known (currently) CMP 1911 that has FOIA documentation of a deployment to Iraq during GWOT. These are 2 very historical US Army 1911's, and I still can't believe that I actually have them in my collection!
My pistol is 1 of 3 Delta Force (CAG) 1911's that are currently known to be in private collections, and I think that this might be the only one of these pistols with a Caspian slide! This is a legit custom pistol that was built by Special Forces armorers in the 1990's, with a build quality that will rival anytime from the best 1911 gunsmiths out there! It's a very interesting and well-made pistol, the gunsmiths that built these Delta 1911's did an amazing job. These Delta Force 1911 pistols are easily the best, highest-quality handguns that have ever been issued to troops in any of the US military branches!
For comparison, here's Larry Vickers personal Delta Force 1911 that he purchased from the CMP, and here's the same pistol in his Vickers Guide 1911 book. My friend posted these photo on a different forum, and he received permission to post these photos from Larry Vickers himself. So, if anyone shares these photos, please create them to Larry Vickers and the Vickers Guide 1911 reference book. Notice that Vicker's Delta 1911 has a green Birdsong finish on the frame, but not all Delta 1911's had this green finish. Interestingly, the green finish on the frame of these Delta Force 1911's is what inspired Wilson Combat to make their two-tone 1911's with the green finish on the frame.

Here's a photo of my friend's Delta Force 1911 compared to the Delta 1911 that's in the museum photos that are posted above ^^^. The 3 Delta Force 1911's in private hands are this one (owned by forum member and close friend @cplnorton), the one Larry Vickers owns, and the one that I own. Compare @cplnorton's Delta 1911 (top pistol in the photo below) to the Delta 1911 in the Army museum (bottom pistol in the photo below), the 2 pistols are nearly identical!
Also, I want to give a huge THANK YOU to @cplnorton for finding all of this information and the photos of soldiers using these 1911's! I'd also like to thank him for trading one of his Delta Force 1911's to me, without his help and generosity I wouldn't have this unbelievable piece of US military history in my collection!

My Delta Force pistol has a very interesting arsenal mark - "WALD 8 67." Has anyone ever seen this type of rebuild stamp before? I've tried to do some research on it, and I haven't found anything about this "WALD" stamp (I assume that 8 67 is an August 1967 rebuild date). If any of you gentlemen have information about this "WALD 8 67" stamp, please post it here in this thread. Any information about this stamp would be greatly appreciated!
Does anyone here have an original Delta Force 1911 or a clone? Even though there's only a few original Delta 1911's in private hands, I'm sure there's a bunch of Delta 1911 clone pistols out there and it would be great to see them. Please post any real or clone Delta Force (CAG) 1911's for us to enjoy, if you have any in your collection!
I would be more interested in how you acquired(not in any negative way) such an interesting collection of pistols, were these auction guns, cmp stuff?
Just curious.
Here's a good video that sums up the ACRO P2 vs, some of the competition.
And a screen shot through the window of the ACRO P2, SRO, 509T and RMR

Old S&W 29 8 3/8” before they neutered the hammer and went to stainless.
My uncle who taught me how to hunt/shoot bought it used in the 70’s from Ray O’herrons in Danville IL. He killed all kinds of stuff with it over the years.
Not sure where the grips came from. Have the presentation box but no grips.
He’s still around but decided I should have it. At some point he painted it (wtf?) then stripped it but you can still see some of it. I need to clean it up and maybe give it a polish.

First wheel gun.
Dad bought it for me when I was in HS(03 ish). He’s a deadbeat but a Colt fan, and somehow scraped up about $400 for it.
Same situation as the 29. No original grips. Is there a good source for factory wood grips or reproductions? I also think the MkIII would look nice with ivory or bright Osage orange.
Super crispy and light SA pull. Suprisingly accurate. It needs a good scrub and eventually a professional bluing.

Not sure how to interpret that. I've never even seen an SP2022 let alone dry fired it.
It either means you have an exceptional 910 or an SP2022 that really sucks.
My 915 is horrible compared to any DA I've ever had including five or six S&W revolvers, two CZ P-07s, a CZ 75BD, a CZ P-09, a CZ P-01, and a CZ Shadow 2.
Since the 2022 is just the cheap version of the 226, the trigger is basically par for the course. It is pretty close to the 11-12lb mark in DA for something broken in. Pretty mushy, but fairly smooth. My P226 Elite is 11lbs too...but you'll find the wall a lot more defined.
My 2022 was my truck pistol for several years. It sits in a safe now, waiting for one of my older idiot kids to get responsible enough to gift it to them.
 
I'd call the 2022 the wish.com version of a 226.
Swapped out the TLR-7A last night for a TLR-1. Other than having to 3d Print a key so it fit the Tisas Carry it went on just fine. I continue to be impressed with the Carry DS. Fit and finish are better than they have a right to be at the price point. Internals are quality machined parts and properly heat treated. Set the hooks to .020" (stock they were .030") and some light sear stoning and sear spring tuning and the trigger sits right at 3#'s with a clean break. 700 rounds so far with only 1 FTF and that was on my reloads. Added the home made grip tape until I get time to stipple the grips. No it's not a Staccato or a Bul but targets haven't been able to tell the difference yet

Grabbed a few Sig Legions from the LGS. I really like the P365 AXG but the P320 AXG ain't no slouch!
I love the 320s and they work well. From the Legion to the Scorpion as well as the Wilson Combat and the what ever it is called brown and black job. They are all keepers in my book. The shocker for me? The P365. I do not like the P365 in general but the Legion just hits different. Might be the grip being a tad beefier and longer, it might be the metal frame, or it might be the weight on the nose from the addition of the compensator but it changed my opinion for sure! It is the best feeling, best pointing 365 I've ever held including the Macro.
Bought the M18 due to being USMC gay and it felt good in hand…..
Used it in a couple classes and it did everything it should. It is what talked me into getting the AXG.
Still though just another tool.
It does not have that certain “je nes sais quoi” of a living, breathing gun with soul……

Throw a X300v and use a light holster like the X-FER v2 with a Safariland QLS/MLS plate
X-FER v2 WML OWB/IWB Holster
The Patented X-FER V2 is a revolutionary holster for Weapon Lights and Silencers/Suppressors. Locking to the Surefire X-300/X-300U allows for OWB or IWB carry.

Might need some sanding or fitting but it'll work.
Forgot one! Went to see my little brother on memorial day and they had a tornado roll through. Him, his family, and his house were unscathed but a neighbor wasn't so lucky (tree in the master bathroom) and was selling a pistol he had just picked up and needed some cash (Which baffels me as all the houses in the neighborhood are in the $1M range). Anyways! Showed it to me and was asking a grand and I said sold! It appears to be a sportsmans warehouse exclusive P320 AXG with the Romeo-X Pro and the Foxtrot 2R light (and a Blackpoint holster). Pretty sure it is (was) unfired. Looks a lot like the pistol @2011Nomad posted but with a two tone color scheme. Not nearly as cool but it’s a shooter!

Anyone else here have any of the CZ PO7 or PO9 MHS pistols that were submitted to the Army's Modular Handgun System contract (which Sig ended up winning)? A PO9 MHS sold on gunbroker earlier this year or last year for crazy money, something like $8k+! One of these PO9 MHS pistols from my collection is now in Reed Knight's collection, it was one of the few US military (trials) handguns that he didn't have (made the trade through a KAC dealer friend a few years ago). These photos are from 2016, and most of them are still in my safe, but I have let a few go over the years.
Here's the production number for these CZ MHS pistols:
PO9 MHS 9mm - 50 made
PO9 MHS 40S&W - 50 made
PO7 MHS 9mm - 5 made
PO7 MHS 40S&W - 5 made
So, the 5 PO9 MHS pistols in 40S&W represent 10% of the total that were made for the contract and the 2 PO7 MHS pistols in 40S&W represent 50% that were made for the contract! If you look at the labels, some of these boxes haven't been opened since leaving the factory! For whatever reason, CZ decided to pull their MHS pistols from the trials, and none of their MHS pistols were used in testing, so all of these pistols are in new condition.
If you ever come across one of these very rare CZ MHS pistols, buy it! This is one of those guns that no one really thinks about, but will bring very large amounts when listed at auction. I've actually never seen any of the 9mm CZ MHS pistols for sale, I missed out on all of those. And I've only seen the 1 CZ PO9 MHS actually come up for sale on gunbroker in the past 5+ years. These are really interesting pistols, and I actually used one of the PO7 MHS 40S&W pistols as an EDC gun (stopped carrying it after I saw what the much more common PO9 MHS sold for on Gunbroker, lol). The only downside to these pistols is the DAO trigger, but it's honestly not that bad for a DAO (I've shot worse triggers).
I was looking through some of my old photos and thought that you guys might like to see these pistols. Please let me know if you have any questions about them, or would like to see more photos of them.

When I look at that SIG, I feel dirty inside. It's the same feeling when I look at another man's wife with lust. Forgive me. I need help.
Picked up something completely new and different (for me) today….
Been wanting one for years, just never got around to getting a 5.7x28 pistol. Walked into the LGS after work, and they had one, and a Holosun 507K in stock, and S&W has a $75 rebate going on right now, so, figured what the hell…
Also, I like how my Mask HD fits perfectly in one of the extra mag cutouts, and my Holosun tool and cleaning cloth fit in one of the extra slots, for an all-inclusive carry case. Thinking I might cut out a few slots to hold a couple boxes of ammo, too…

Oh I love me some CZ's but all of mine are metal framed one way or another. Still loving all of your pics though and it's hard to go wrong with CZ's for that matter.

I missed my AXG Scorpion so I replaced it. The difference? 1 mag instead of three, a plain Sig case, doesn’t say “Sig Custom Works”, and no challenge coin. Not sure all that is worth the premium anyways. More money for the Reserve series P229 X-Five that is launching soon!
My SIG SP2022's DA/SA trigger pulls are good and smooth. My 910's DA/SA trigger pulls are better.
Seriously you guys who say this must absolutely not know what a good DA feels like.
In my 50+ years of shooting, hunting, instructing, 'No'. I cut my teeth on a 'tuned and polished' S&W Midel 19 that would put a Python to shame. Then I fell in love with an S&W Model 52 with a 2.5# SA trigger pull. To know why I say what I do about 3rd Gen S&Ws and SIGs, shoot a 1st Gen S&W Model 39/59. Then shoot a SIG P-series, and a 3rd Gen S&W. Then, for fun, try a Walther P99 in SA mode.
I got the same, thought what the hell when I bought it. It's quickly become my goto around the place. Best 600 bucks I've spent on a gun in a long time!!
Also, a S&W, Dan Wesson, or Colt revolver is one of the smoothest DA's on the planet...But if you're talking semi-auto's then yeah, the CZ might take the cake.
Ok boomer
PS I have a pair of S&W revolvers that have been highly tuned. I know what a superb DA is like and a 910/915 ain't it.
Looks great! There used to be issues with S&W 5.7x28 pistols and using silencers on them, lots of baffle strikes if I recall. I can't really remember what the issue was, I think it had something to do with the length of threaded barrel and the silencers not seating correctly (one of you guys here probably knows this stuff better than me). Is that still an issue or something that needs to be taken into account when using a silencer on this specific pistol?
Never heard anything bad about the S&W 5.7 so that's new to me. But, I did notice the threads are very (excessively) long on them. My TBAC 22TD cans won't fit without a spacer. It hits the first baffle before it hits the shoulder, so I can't run them on it right now. The Mask HD fits fine with enough clearance to bump all the way back against the shoulder and seat properly.
