Funny Situation with the Blog

 So, with migrating to the new Wordpress-powered blog, my task is to get traffic to the new site and cease work on the old blog. I checked this site's stats today and see that average traffic spiked up quite a bit since I began using the new site.  WTF??! Maybe me linking the new site here, in the effort to migrate and redirect traffic (did the same thing to the new site - linked the old blog), propagation was spurred. At this point, this blog is currently seeing more traffic than the new one, although it's difficult to assess traffic with my Wordpress setup, as I'm relying upon Goog ..read more

More Testing - holsters for the TP9 Elite Subcompact

So, I received the holster shell for the Canik TP9 Elite SC on Saturday.   I installed it on my Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 2.0 holster base, although I hat to mess around with the mounting screws and bushings to customize the fit.  As well, I used blue thread locker on the screws.  I've been carrying the handgun in this holster half the day.  It carries well with this holster.  It doesn't protect from the grip texture, though, but I installed rubber Talon Grip tape on the grips on Saturday, as well, so the texture doesn't beat up my skin. I've yet to give the N8 Tactic ..read more

Canik TP9 Elite SC - Several items on the way

I revisited the range a few weeks ago with the Canik TP9 Elite SC again, using different ammo.  I used some light for caliber ammo (90-grain 9mm), as well as some 124- and 147-grain, hoping that one of those would lessen the recoil. While I love the handgun, it is snappy as hell.  Keep in mind, I've been carrying a Springfield Armory XD45 Mod 2 subcompact the past 2 years, so when I say the TP9 SC is snappy, I'm not joking. And, prior to carrying that handgun, I was carrying the XD9 Mod 2 subcompact, which I also shoot well. I'm not sure why I can shoot the XD45 without worrying ab ..read more

Canik TP9 Elite Subcompact - Trigger Weight / Holster Search

If you weren't aware that I recently bought a Canik TP9 Elite Subcompact, I posted about it. I took the liberty of checking the weight of my Elite Subcompact's trigger, but I already know that it's going to be outstanding, as it's well-known that TP9s typically have great triggers. I did an average of 5 pulls. The five pulls: 4 lb 0.5 oz 3 lb 15.4 oz 4 lb 2.9 oz 3 lb 13.4 oz 4 lb 1.5 oz The average of the above is 4 lb 0.3 oz. Aside, I've been trying to find a good holster for this handgun.  There's lots out there but I've not found what I'm looking for.  I do not want to get ..read more

Yes, this is now a thing.  It feels good enough to replace my XD45 Mod 2 as my daily carry.  I'm tempted to use the holster that's included with it (it's configured by default to use as OWB, but I've rotated the clips so that I can use the holster as IWB) but when testing it, the grip rubs my skin, so I'd have to wear undershirts when using this holster.  I'd looked at N8 Tactical but they don't have a Pro model hostler for this specific handgun. I'll probably visit the range some time this week so that I can get some rounds through the gun (mandatory for me, before I can c ..read more

TP9SA Trigger, Trigger Bar, Firing Pin Block, and Springs Replaced!

I recently published the following post - Issue with one of my TP9SAs (or maybe both). I sent the tan TP9SA back the week of April 15 in the hopes that Century Arms (the importer of Caniks) would replace some worn parts on the firearm. I received the gun back today (28 April). Per the work ticket that they provided when returning the firearm, the gunsmith noticed the trigger parts were "worn/poor" and replaced the trigger, trigger bar, firing pin block, and upgraded the springs. They also checked headspace, mag catch fitment, ejector functionality, and test-fired 18 rounds (presumably to check ..read more

Biden's Anti-gun Tactics & Executive Orders

 https://fb.watch/4NON83aGlz/ It's a bold lie that the majority of the US favors background checks.  Colion Noir provided details to refute that awhile back (https://www.facebook.com/COLIONNOIR/posts/3791001044282958). It's also bad (and quite bold) for a standing US president to say that NO amendment is absolute when the 2nd affirms the inalienable right to bear arms.  That statement should be raising quite a few eyebrows.  2A doesn't grant citizens the right.  2A isn't the US government giving citizens permission to bear arms.  2A is the government acknowledgi ..read more

1911 Range Notes - 3/20/2021

Video Highlights: 1.  We bought Remington R1 mags (45ACP doublestacked) for use with my RIA 10mm HC, since I can't find any Armscor mags.  One mag feeds well, the other does not.  Also, the R1 mags will fit the OEM 10mm base plates. 2.  We had feed issues with the RIA 22TCM extracting spent cases (the cases were getting stuck in the chamber).  This was an ammo issue - I had half a box of older ammo that I'd put aside because I was blowing primers and one case refused to come out of the chamber.  I'd forgotten that this was a box I wasn't supposed to finish shooti ..read more

Looking for mags that fit your RIA 1911A2?

When I bought my RIA 10mm 1911A2, I tried to order A2 mags from AdvancedTactical.com (Armscor parts/support site).  The showed as having plenty in stock but apparently, they were out, because my order sat for a month before I told them to cancel it.  In fact, they're still showing as out of stock at the time of this posting. I tried looking at other places but most stores are out of stock.  The only stores I saw that had them were in places like Alaska and Canada and they required $100 in purchases before they'd even consider sending to you (shipping was free, though). I then sa ..read more
