training

I have become an advocate for using shot timers for defensive shooting training. In a real world shoot, I'm led to understand the first person to put effective shots on target has the greatest chance of surviving. Mindset, decision making skills, reaction time, accuracy, then speed. Shot timers...

Today I got in the mail my ASG Airsoft Steyr M9 pistol. I have been watching eBay for some time and they came back into stock. So far so good. I have open the box, fondled it a bit, and read the brief instructions. The piece is very well built, steel frame makes it heavier than a real unloaded...

Hi everyone, I live in North Carolina and own an SSG04-A1, Pro Hunter, and just recently purchased an SSG08. All 3 in 300 win mag. Hope to meet up with other NC long Range shooters. "Ex Umbris Venimus"

It has been a while since I last posted and thought I would share my fantastic experience with my new M9-A1. I sold my old M9 to a friend of mine and used the money to finally get the new M9-A1 in March. I purchased it from Trellix Tactical and must say it was a pleasure doing business with...

So I just received an Email from Dr Piaza or in my friend of circles he is known as Pizza-Boy. Anyhow His latest scam is to charge you a $500 and soon to be $1000 transfer fee for all of your To Be Determined memberships that you may have stocked up from all his "other deals" I confirmed this...

Hello, I just started with my training and applied for an OZ gun licence which will hopefully be granted in about 10 months time. I want to get into IPSC shooting. By asking arround nobody would have heard of anybody shooting the M9-A1 in competition. So I am just wondering where I could try...

I have already submitted ads for 2 handguns (Glock 27 and Springfield 1911) in a local classified publication. When you guys sell, do you meet at a neutral location or do you have them come to your house? Also, on bills of sale, do you include your name and address? If you haven't already...

Hi! Today at the end of my training M9-A1 refused to reset. After I came home, I noticed that catch (nr 10 on parts diagram) would not come up to catch the firing pin. When I fully disassembled the frame, I have noticed that one of the tails of catch spring (part number 12) was broken. In total...

I was "lucky" enough to score 2 boxes of 50rds each (100rds total) of Winchester SXZ 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ Flat Nose "Training". Has anyone else had experience with this ammo? My M9-A1 ran great and all but as I was disassembling it to clean it tonite, I noticed it was extremely dirty after...

So here I am on the range today... After some training, I proudly produce my brand new M9-A1 and hand it to my partner (Former Marine sniper, firearms expert extraordinaire). He smugly grips the pistol, a slight smile was detected on his face as I watched him enjoy the ergonomics and feel of...

just bought m9 a1. came from out of state so have to transfer. cant wait to pick it up. i need tips and tricks! my pistol is the cabelas grey gun.

Looking over the internet, there is some information as to Mr. Bubits' designs etc. I am curious as to what his actual contributions were to the Glock design. Did he design the thing from the ground up, or just some of the features. One website says he was responsible for the Gen 3 design i.e...

I'm somewhat of a "newbie" here, and I apologize upfront if I'm posting in the wrong section. Basically, several years ago (December 2005), I purchased an M357-A1 through a member here for my first handgun while I was visiting my home state (Texas) but was living in Wisconsin for school...

Hello from Europe to all Steyroids! It went harder and harder to get .357SIG ammo for a fair price in Germany. Also here are not much shooting ranges you can enter easily. So I am looking for a laser aiming and trigger training equipment for my M357-A1 and M40-A1. Saw one of these kind (Laser...

So while training today I ended up with a round in the chamber and a stuck slide. I can remove the slide from the weapon and still cannot get it out. No one I was with had even seen anything like that before. Looks like I need to take it to a gunsmith this week. Hopefully my baby will be...

hello everybody, after a long wait we finally got our new old M-9 out of the military depot in the domenican republic. it had the slightest corrosion and came with one 10-round magazine,which should be sufficient for self-defence. luckily some soldier sold us 100 rounds of aguilla 124grain luger...

So I purchased a Jeff Cooper Edition .308 Steyr Scout awhile ago but only recently got around to actually shooting it. Boy, was I surprised at the recoil of this rifle. I could only manage 5 shots before I cried uncle. I've been looking for the soft recoil pad ever since but can't seem to...

I've liked FN firearms since I was in basic training and first got the opportunity to get behind what may be my favorite gun of all time––-the M240B. Unfortunately, I can't have one of those in my personal collection so I've been collecting their handguns, rifles, and shotguns ever since...

Hi, Im waiting on getting my licence through for my m9a1, but thought i would get on the search for a holster for it now. What i would like would be a polymer (kydex?) holster for it with a push button to release the pistol from the holster, i think this is known as level 3, but correct me if...

Hey all, I am one of those people who suffer from a numb trigger finger while firing Glocks. After a couple of mags, the my trigger finger will start to go numb where it contacts the trigger safety, and increase the more rounds I shoot. Basically, the trigger safety hits a nerve in my finger...
