got to try out my brothers new sig sauer 551 over the christmas/new years holiday. what a great rifle...
Mossberg 9mm? Meh. You're right.... It's just "yet another"https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2019/01/03/tfbtv-the-new-mossberg-mc1-single-stack-9mm-pistol/
In the already saturated world of compact 9mms....here's another!
I grew up in Ohio and never paid to shoot.
But now I'm in the Charlotte NC area and that's not the case. But, luckily I have a bad ass brand new range with steel plates for pistols, 100yrd rifl, 250yrd rifle, skeet, trap, archery less than an hour away
H&K announced the VP9 longslide kits to be released this year. Look awesome, like as much as the VP9 was lol.
Also, not sure if anyone here has IG but the person that moderates the H&K account is ruthless and cold.
I can't get behind a red dot on a pistol. I shot an rmr on the new Walther comp gun and I just personally felt follow up shots would have been easier with sights. The again I don't shoot competition or 3 gun so that could be whyNot optics ready...
That's a pass.
Speaking of pocket guns, does anyone have a North American Arms .22 LR with the 1-1/8" barrel? I can see times when it's size would be an asset, but only with the folding handle to help control the recoil.

I love the concept of it. I just havnt gotten enough time behind the trigger I guess. I don't compete at all but I know it's all the rage right now to carry a 19 with an rmr lol I just feel like carrying with one could be an issue. The lens gets fogged, cracked, dies, your forced to use iron sights through possibly a messed up piece of glass.I love red dots on pistols. Takes some getting used to, but it's definitely faster.
Shooting USPSA or other speed competitions, there is a lot of focus on optimizing your grip to turn the recoil of the pistol into a back-and-forth motion, instead of an up-and-down motion, or eliminating the "snappiness". When you get to that point, you can pretty much keep the red dot on target, and shoot FAST.
I have grips on my 627-5 that I bought after watching that video a few years ago. Get that bore axis as close to even with your arm as possible. My hammer is also trimmed some so it doesn't pinch the skin between my thumb and index finger.
I have wanted to try a red dot on a handgun. I have shot a Model 29 with a scope on it before, talk about a heavy firearm...I love red dots on pistols. Takes some getting used to, but it's definitely faster.
