Get1, I hope you got the Neos Deluxe version. I looked carefully at both for several months before deciding on the Deluxe. I have an 87 Target with a red-dot on it that I probably should sell because I don't care for it very much. The money is better spent on a Ruger with accessories like a VQ hamme...

I don't know how much the Les Baer's are discounted, but I know you don't have to pay MSRP. I have the Kimber Gold Match, and it is okay, but never really put a big grin on my face like the STI did. The other gun, which is no longer in production, and always placed a big grin on the face of those th...

Georgezilla, I wish I could say wonderful things about mine, but I have to be honest. I, nor anyone that has shot mine, have never been impressed with the pistol. I think for the money that there are better choices out there. I've never been able to approach the accuracy of some of my other 1911's w...

Back from the range

It was a real slow day at the Range today, which gave me plenty of time to test the returned ADP. I'm afraid of new guns - always have been - always will be. A gun that has been worked on, even by me, makes me just as nervous as a new gun. So, my first 5 rounds missed the little shoot-n-c in the mid...

The doorbell just rang

UPS was at the door and I had to sign for a package. :?: I couldn't remember ordering anything. Then I noticed the return address was from Wilson Combat. I was surprised because I'd returned the pistol to the FFL that I bought it from and they mailed it to Wilson; I expected Wilson to send it back t...

From Owner's Manual

Since I do read the owner's manuals, (doesn't mean I remember what I read) let me quote from the manual: NOTE: This pistol operates on a gas "Retard" system which means that high pressure gas is diverted into a cylinder below the barrel to push against a piston connected to the fron of the slide and...

Accuracy

Tbag, I'm curious as to how accurately you shoot it. I don't care about the accuracy shooting out of a Ransome Rest, it isn't a target pistol. I'm just wondering what your experience is with your accuracy in shooting it. I recently bought a Kahr M9098, which is the small 9mm package. I can hit the b...

I've had that problem with the VQ hammer before too. My solution was to Dremel a groove in the safety. The safety is a real thick piece of metal anyhow. I didn't notice the problem at first, but I was getting light strikes. I kicked myself for going to a lighter main-spring, put the original main-sp...

Georgezilla, I'm curious why you wanted to change the sight. The sights on the Hunter are what sold me on buying the two that I have (one is 22/45). I've found that the supplied sights work very well for me, but I must add that I'm 60+

Yes, I bought the 8" version to go on a plain-jane MK III. I first ordered the Ruger, and then added VQ kit, the Pac-Lite barrel, VQ grips, and Leupold 4X scope (wish I'd stuck with 2X scope). I've never shot it off the bench so I can't make any claims about the accuracy, but I do like the gun. I ha...

I did it

Living in the DFW, TX area, I find it convenient to buy from http://www.sportingarms.com . I've looked around and their nominal 7% markup is hard to beat except when big companies like Cabela's has sales (bought a S&W 22A for $169 from Cabela's a couple of weeks ago). So, when talking to Becky at Sp...

Maybe a tad hotter

... I have found that the Blazer by CCI loads are jsut a little on the hot side , but wotk well. At the range today, the fellow next to me was shooting the CCI Blazer Brass in his Kimber, which looked rather new. I asked him how he liked the ammo because I'd bought a couple of boxes of it and hadn'...
