    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kahr PM9 vs Springfield XDS 45

    I went to the gun store this morning and he didn't have a Kahr Pm9 but he still had the CM9. He also had a new XDS bitone and a used black XDS. I compared the CM9 with the XDS to see if I wanted to order the PM9. I really liked the XDS more overall. I thought the used XDS had a slightly...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kahr PM9 vs Springfield XDS 45

    Right now I am leaning more towards the XDS. There is just something about this gun that I like a lot. My dealer has a bi tone in stock. Since I bought my 1911 I have grown to like the 45ACP much more than I used to. The XDS is a little bigger but I don't think it is enough to matter. I'll...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kahr PM9 vs Springfield XDS 45

    Thanks for the replies. It is going to be a tough decision. Is the Kahr PM9 really that much much better than the less expensive CM9? A guy from work just bought a XDS he said I could shoot his sometime before I bought one to make sure that is what I wanted. I don't know of anyone that has a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kahr PM9 vs Springfield XDS 45

    Both of these pistols have things about them I like but I really don't like the trigger and gritty feel of the Kahr slide. The Kahr is made in the USA though. Those of you that have the XDS, are you still happy with your pistol? How is the recoil on the Springfield? Which of these two would...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Gen 4 Shooting High

    Graham, you are right. I left the post above this one so you all can see what I was doing wrong. I just had it backwards. I just now went out and tried what you said about the sight picture and I was wrong. I changed my hold to a front sight lower than the rear by about half. I can only...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Gen 4 Shooting High

    What I mean by my earlier comment is I was taking the front sight post and making it flush with the rear sight. I have found in order to hit my target I must put the black part of the front sight under the dot not just the dot on top of the rear sight post. When I look through my sights the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Gen 4 Shooting High

    I haven't let another shooter try it out yet but I will do that today. A friend of mine also has a Glock 19 that shoots high. You have to use a entire front post hold. I mean you have to be looking at the slide to hit the center of your target. I changed the back strap out last night and put...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Gen 4 Shooting High

    I bought a new Glock 19 gen 4 yesterday. It is shooting about 4 inches high at 7 to 25 yards. I shot about 150 rounds yesterday and it didn't get much better. The pistol is very accurate with a 4.5 pound trigger. My Glock 17 shoots about 2 inches high with Meprolight night sights but 4...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Favorite Front and Rear Sight

    Thanks for the replies. I will most likely go with a 10-8 rear with a fiber optic front. It will probably be a while though because I just can't seem to part with my new Baer. It just shoots so good. I don't know, I may just leave it like it is.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kydex for Baer UTC

    Thanks for the replies. Raven said it would fit. I ordered a holster, mag carrier and some IWB clips. I hope I like it. I have wanted one for a long time.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Favorite Front and Rear Sight

    I was just looking for a dual purpose target and hunting sight system. I thought I had decided on the Novak white dot with tritium inserts but Alchemy suggested the fiber optic. I might look at a 10-8 rear and a fiber optic front. My M&P pro has a green fiber optic and I haven't decided if I...

    What do you prefer for your front and rear sight of the 1911?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kydex for Baer UTC

    I don't know but that is what I have heard. Raven says on their website to ask before you order.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kydex for Baer UTC

    I have heard Les Baer pistols don't always fit standard 1911 holsters. I would like a Raven Concealment or a Bravo Concealment. Does anyone know if the Raven Concealment quick ship will fit? Does anyone have one of these for the Baer? I have emailed Raven Concealment but it may be a few days...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which Les Baer 1911

    I ordered a Ultimate Tactical Carry from John yesterday without front slide serrations. It is the standard 3 inch pistol. He said it would be here by the end of the week. I will post pictures when I get. Thanks for all the help. I know I will love it.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which Les Baer 1911

    I called John again this morning and I am back to the UTC because he doesn't have the stinger or the monolith in stock. I also called Alchemy Custom and got some prices on a a few things. I guess I will be sending the pistol to him after I get 500 rounds or so though the pistol.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which Les Baer 1911

    The decision of which model to get is worrying me. I thought I had decided on the UTC but now I don't know. I originally wanted a smaller pistol. I like the Stinger or the Monolith Commanche. How much more difficult is the Stinger going to be to shoot than the UTC? Am I likely to have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which Les Baer 1911

    On the farm there is always a possum, armadillo, beaver or a snake I need to get rid of so a pistol does come in handy. I really wanted the 1.5 inch option but I don't want to wait a year. If I wanted to get some things done to the pistol later on like a magwell how long is the wait time for...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which Les Baer 1911

    I talked to John today. He has pistols in stock but no 1.5 inch ones. He can get me one but with a wait that could be a year or longer. Would you just get the 3 inch and get it now?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which Les Baer 1911

    I'm looking for a 5 inch barrel for range fun and carry around the farm. I can't shoot that good either but I thought it wouldn't hurt to get the extra accuracy. I am going to call 1911 Heaven in the morning and see what he has or what he can get me.
