Im surprised they arent offering 6.5 grendel as an option. Id think in a sub 12" barrel it would perform nearly similar as a creedmoor with same bullets. Theres been some 6.5 grendel AK pistols from evocatus Strategic that have really been putting the hammer down out of a short barrel.

But theres something to be said for a muzzle flash that will toast your bread as shoot your target lol

I think I need one now

For a cheap simple pleasure of such, check out the CVA pistols. Or Elf Owl pistol in Grendel

I have always loved the bolt action pistols like Strikers and XP's... it's good to see them making a comeback... and with detachable magazines, too.

Put a linear muzzle brake or a suppressor on it to mitigate the apocalyptic blast. And/or stay with smaller capacity cases that can still burn most of their powder in the short barrel.

I agree, little bit of a miss on the Grendal. Other wise pretty neat set up.

My first shooting sports love, Bolt action pistols. At one time we owned ten in big and small bore.

HS Precision made a beautiful handgun with an XP-100 footprint. The Nosler 48 has the appearance of a modernized XP-100 in an HS Stock. We still own three Custom XP-100’s, having sold off two and a customized Striker before the covid/biden panic. (Now, I am not selling anything on my place that can go bang). I miss the days when IHMSA was a going concern and on my very best days and only my very best days, I was able to be competitive against some of the best handgun marksman the world has ever seen. Age is a BITCH (but better than the alternative.) Below is my ”money“ gun. Never will I part with her.

What are you doing with it?

What are you doing with it?

If you have to ask...



It’s called the Creedmoor Shooting Position. Educate yourself:

POTD: Creedmoor Shooting Position

My friend mentioned this and since I have not heard of it, some of you may not have either.It is a shooting position used by shooters such as Elmer Keith who shot a deer at 500 yards with a revolver.Paul Kriley and I hunted up Clear Creek on the right side where it is partly open bunch grass...

What are you doing with it?

I occasionally shoot it in the few IHMSA matches around. Last summer I put three shots under an inch at 200 meters while checking site settings. But I can’t hold it well enough/long enough to shoot a 40 shot match. I find myself literally dropping shots. So, I shoot as long as I feel safe then call it the day.

I can’t even guess how many rounds down the barrel, but fifteen and a half grains of SR4759 behind a 150 grain Sierra MatchKing, is awful easy on barrels. Still takes down a properly set, 65 pound ram with authority.

And, it is shooting Creedmoor. In the very early days of IHMSA when it was thought of as a way to improve shooting with handguns (and less of a game; sound familiar PRS?) different positions were tried. Though Handgun Creedmoor only vaguely resembles the Creedmoor rifle shooting position of the late 19th century it was found to be very stable. Our son refers to it as almost as stable as a bench rest. When I had the strength in my hands, I could take down 1/2 scale turkeys and rams at 150 and 200 meters using this position all day long.

Switch to "the flop" Jim Fields style.
I never could shoot Creedmoor, so I shot the flop. A prone arms extended position, rest forend on fist, pinky under the grip. I even shot it legal with an MOA pistol.
I was only an international class shooter in UAS and UASHS.
Had trouble with irons from the flop.

Chuck Norris suppository injector?

And...Remington actually made an xp100 repeater. It was however rear grip. I had a couple.

Only if you want "moor" from your "creed"

Bah hahaha. I kill me

For me, it is very uncomfortable to lie on my stomach and shoot. I can shoot prone with a rifle but not for long, it jsut hurts. Arthritis and too many broken bones has really made my flexibility a thing of the Past. Plus the rulemakers at IHMSA are going ballistic over flop guns. I can shoot the precision rifles off of a rest or jsut about anything that I can rest my elbows and the bipod on without pain. So, that is where I am and why I am here.

Now I must apologize, cause I have taken this far away from the fine handgun featured above.

Is it available wrong-handed?

I am right-handed, but like the thought of a left-handed bolt action pistol. That way I don't have to move my hand from the pistol grip to work the bolt.

It's why I generally like the Striker more than the XP's. I don't think the Weatherby pistols or Nosler pistols ever came in a southpaw configuration. And now, I think the Pork Sword is about the only one available LH, since they use normal Rem700 short actions (which some were, by chance, produced left handed). Unless the Jtac or Gear Head Works pistols are available southpaw, but I don't think they are...
