Looking for USPCA Gun. XD? Glock? What?

I'm sure this topic has been beat to death, but I'm looking to get a home defense weapon useful for stock competition. Probably a 9.

I sure hope yopu guys understand what I've done. I've taken 2 pairs of cheap Wally world reading glasses and used one lens from each in one pair. Now, I don't have any vision correction to deal with, but you have to have glass in the left lens, and the 1.0 is the least mag you can buy. It does, in m...

Thanks, Bullseye! By the way, I installed the Volquartzen sear and trigger in my MarkIII 512, and the wife immediately out shot me!

Hoppes go bad?

Trigger on Mark III

This is not target shooting, as such. We shoot multiple mozambiques, Texas Star, plates, pipes, etc., at distances from 15-50'. 5 to eight targets, timed.
