Some Dan Wesson 10mm action. Along with a 3V Kukri. I think they pair well together.

Got something pretty neat while in San Antonio for a steal! Saw it for $375! Came with a case and 2 mags! Browning BDM in 9mm.

1969 Browning Challenger View attachment 7273446

It has been a while since I shot an old Browning .22. Don't remember which model exactly - but it was good. A bit old-school but good.

They are quite good. This one is in 95%+ condition. It is stupid accurate and has a fabulous trigger.

The Wilson CQB Jamamatic

That has to hurt your feelings!

 

[TheChief]

That has to hurt your feelings!

Holy shit. Send that thing back to Wilson! There's something desperately wrong there.

 

[DuneBoer]

I did.

I did. They said the Winchester T series is too hot to shoot out of it. Should change the name of the gun from CQB to CQT

Damn, I'd have been hot. Did they ate least fix it for you or was it totally destroyed? I'd think a pistol of that caliber would handle any production ammo out there. Hell I've got a couple of 10mm's that I shoot the hottest stuff they sell out of and they handle them beautifully and they're damn sure not Wilsons.

 

[DuneBoer]

This what they replied back to me. I asked if They would just give me a round count when to rebuild, springs and internals. Their reply:

 

[TheChief]

Wow. With a good bar stock extractor that's properly tuned that should NOT be an issue. Especially with factory ammo. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Son of Dorn]

Another coupla vintage guns:

First we got a double-action Modèle d'Ordonnance Hollandais 1894 Revolver, 9.4mm:

Then a Nazi-marked FN 1910/22. I believe it to be a 9mm Kurz/.380 ACP since "FNH 9m/m" is visible on the magazine body:

Wow... Just wow. I owned a Wilson Combat CBQ back in the day (2000-ish) and it was flawless but things like this kind of assure I won't be revisiting the brand I guess my next Arkie built 1911 will be a Guncrafter Hellcat.

I'd really love a Nighthawk 1911, but they're a bit out of my price range. I'll stick with my Dan Wessons. Haven't had a single issue out of them.

There is probably a diminishing return at some point but I really like my Nighthawks but I also like my Kimber's...

Did you buy the gun new or used?

 

[DuneBoer]

used.

 

[Odysseus1911]

used.

Did you replace the recoil spring before shooting it?

I'm not trying to be antagonistic, I genuinely want to figure out what went wrong (since Wilson is apparently so big now that they don't care) and maybe everyone can benefit.

 

[TheChief]

I agree. For example my Dan Wesson Specialist Commander in 9mm is more accurate than any pistol I've ever shot. It is near impossible to miss with it, and I paid $1500. I couldn't see any other pistol out there shooting better than it. Sure, they'd have way more hand fitting, craftsmanship, and time put into them, but accuracy wise I don't know how it could be improved upon. I've also never had any malfunction whatsoever out of it.

Again, dimisihing returns but this is the test target that came with my agent 2. 5 rounds of 115ge FMJ 9mm and 5 rounds of 124gr JHP 9mm. 12 yards off a bag according to them. I'll never shoot that well (I can manage a 1.37" group at 25 yards off a bag) but I'd rather be the weak link instead of the weapon!

No, it’s the same spring Wilson put in it after I sent it back to them the first time. Less that 200 rounds through it on that spring.

 

[FredHammer]

44! That DE shoots like a dream.

I agree completely. For any weapon that I may have to use to defend myself, my loved ones or even a stranger I want to know that it not being up to the task is not even a question. I want that burden to be entirely on me and my training. I'd still love a Nighthawk, maybe I'll sell three of my DW's and buy one someday ha ha ha. I also wouldn't mind a Guncrafter 1911, but those cost even more. I'm considering ordering one of their Battlecrowns and installing it on my Springfield RO Elite 10mm for a little extra weight out front.

[airborne_trooper]

Here are my current favorite two pistols. Targets are FBI bullseye course (25/15 yards) and shooting standard times.

What caliber is the Vaquero? .38 I'm assuming.

 

[perttime]

Vaqueros dont have adjustable rear sights. I think it is a Blackhawk.

 

[nikonNUT]

Got me some double ply!!! Oh, and my latest pistol landed. Not it's not a Nighthawk! Ordered a TriARC Systems TSR-15S with a 8.3" barrel and the Law Tactical folder in 5.56. Slapped a Sig Romeo8H on and went to the range. It a wicked little sister!!! Love it!

 

[airborne_trooper]

What caliber is the Vaquero? .38 I'm assuming.

Jefe It’s a super Blackhawk 38/357 and it has a 9mm cylinder. the target there is from the 9mm cylinder shooting 115 gr bullets. Plenty accurate with 9mm and soft shooting!

Ruger GP 100 in .357 mag. As the kids would say, absolute unit. Really wild how much of a difference the $15 Wolff spring kit makes.

 

[Doctorwho1138]

A couple of Combat Masters. Both absolute tack drivers and fun to shoot.

 

[Doctorwho1138]

A couple of 1911s. Both chambered in 45acp. One is a Nighthawk Custom and the other is a Guncrafter Industries government No Name. Both lovely guns. Just love the feel and sound of a 45.
