Remember Firearm Safety

Everyone is a Range Safety Officer, if it seems unsafe call it for a cease fire!

  • Treat all firearm as if it were loaded.
  • Never point a firearm at anything you're not willing to destroy.
  • Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until ready to shoot.
  • Know your target and what lies beyond.

In addition:

  • Ensure the weapon is safe to fire, a gunsmith is cheaper than a hospital visit.
  • Only use the ammunition type stamped on the barrel or listed in the user manual.
  • Wear eye and ear protection.
  • Alcohol, legal and illegal drugs, and firearms are never a good combination. Do not mix!
  • Keep weapons out of the reach of children, criminals, and other prohibited persons - it is your responsibility to protect your firearms!

Would you close your echelon over your other striker fired pistols for a duty role?

I work armed security and have chosen the echelon to be my sidearm. The gun is stone cold reliable and fucking flawless, no matter what I do to it . Do yall have the same sentiments? Or would you choose a different gun for this line of work ?

Hellcat pro question?

I’ve had my hellcat pro for about 2 months and have over 1000 rounds thru it and was wondering if I added a comp to it would it reduce the amount of recoil noticeably to warrant the 250? Ik that it’s snapper that it’s full sized counterparts but it feels like my shot group isn’t getting any tighter especially when shooting with speed. Any help is appreciated

I recently acquired a Prodigy DS 1911 Comp 4.25 and I am curious what holsters people get. If you have one, which one did you get? Either OWB or IWB.

Looking into a Hellion, what upgrades/work does it need out of the box?

Looking into a Hellion and I’m seeing only positive reviews about it (minus the safety) but I can’t seem to see anything that needs to be swapped on it on purchase. Not every rifle is perfect, so what issues have you had with your Hellion?

Springfield Prodigy Mag Spring Replacement.

After about a year my 5” Prodigy stopped locking back while using Springfield Prodigy specific magazines direct from Springfields website.

At this point I had purchased 6 20rnd and 2 26rnd magazines, so I wasn’t a fan of upgrading to staccato or another brand of magazines, you’re talking hundreds of dollars. I took a shot at Atlas Gunworks spring and +1 followers and they work like a charm. $20 upgrade for each mag, much better than $60-$80 for new mags.

Viridian green dot optics

I'm looking at the RFX 11 for my HCP and Im curious if anyone here has an opinion (lol) about the model or the company's products.
Little bit of background: My HCP came with a Crimson Trace red dot. I struggled with it. I have an astigmatism and the red dot looked like a blurry starburst. Taking someone's advised I took a photo of the dot to see if it was my eyes or the optic. Sure enough the pic was a circular dot, it was my eyes. Since then I've been practicing with the iron sights and am pretty good to 10 yards. I don't expect to need much more distance, though I would like to be accurate as far as I can, but I am interested in speed. In my research I have found that the green dot is a better optic for those with astigmatism. This has brought me to ask the question posted.

Need fiber optics sights for stock Hellcat OSP

Anyone have a good recommendation on bright fiber optics for a hellcat OSP? I’m getting my slide sent in for some window cuts in which they’ll have to remove the rear and front sights and notated that there’s a big chance the factory sights will break.

TRP break in period

I just picked up a brand new TRP. About how many rounds did it take for yours to break in? I like mine a lot but have been experiencing random failure to feeds. If I shoot 100 rounds I might have about five failures. Other than that the gun runs great!

First day shooting my Hellcat Pro

I zeroed my Viridian Green Dot RFX11 on my Hellcat Pro. It was the first time shooting this gun. I loved it. Perfect zero groupings on the zero target (both at 10 and 15 yds, with my arms supported on the case). As many complained before, the trigger is too rough. My index finger hurts and the worst part, even after I perfectly zeroed the gun, shooting freely showed me a clear "down and to the left" spread of the shots (as in this picture). I blame it on the trigger (my wife was not even able to shoot more than 3 times and gave up, the trigger was too strong for her fingers). I am now considering replacing the trigger, which acts more like a safety lever than anything.

What whould be the best trigger brand/model to go for? I thought Apex but then some people in this sub disagreed, so I am looking for any other options right now.

Thanks in advance!
