I'm going friday with some friends, I'd like to put 150 or so rounds through it, as well as shoot my XD one more time and decide if it's a keeper or I need to sell it.

I may just go for something like a smaller kel-tec to carry, like the PF9

I can get one for about $240 out the door

My newest. Lots of folks seem to hate the Browning BDM, I love it.

Tim I may suggest if the XD feels weird to you sell it off. I know a number of people who have picked up XD's, put a couple hundred down range with it, then it becomes a safe queen because of the feel.

If you want something nice and trustworthy to carry I would suggest a S&W-M&P9 compact, or the 40 if you like 40 cal. Hell you can even go .357 compact in the M&P line.

Friend of mine had to be first kid on the block to get a Kimber Solo 9mm. So far it's been a real disappointment. Will not work with 115 grain ammo at all, you must go to 124 or 147 gr. for functioning. My buddy's Solo has additional feeding issues, it's been back to Kimber TWICE already and still, no joy.

Hopefully this particular handgun is an anomoly but somehow it doesn't seem like it. Kinda reminds me of the old Seecamp .32 acp semiauto--they only worked right with Winchester Silvertips, everything else was a gamble.

While I can appreciate the idea of a gun being sorta "specialized"--in the case of the Solo, for self defense--if it's finicky or requires expensive ammo, who's going to fire one of them enough to be competent with the thing?

Want it...got it, want it...got it, want it...got it...10x over!

Anyone know of any dealers with a Glock 24 in stock? I had one located a couple weeks ago but bought a Range Officer instead. Now I forget which dealer it was and haven't had any luck with google searches. Any help would be appreciated!

Try Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, GA. They have been good for tracking down specific guns for a friend of mine...though I have no first hand experience other than buying shells there.

Very nice! Similar to what I'm in the process of puting together. What scope are you using?

damn Shawn, nice pea shooter.....whats the scope power?

My Kimber Solo went back to the shop twice for multiple problems. It's been replaced but I've yet to fire it. My view is Kimber pushed the design to the limit. Any limp wrist, weak ammo, etc. and you have problems. Mine had FTE issues even with ammo that's on the Kimber bullet list.

It's set up for 1000 yds

might be going to the 100 yd range near Orlando on the 9th.....Jon got a R700 left bolt

I'll be heading to Manatee on the 9th for a little distance shooting.

I'll be doing the same next weekend Shawn...1000yrd Regional out in Pa...8,9,10th

Just got a call from the gun shop saying my rifle was in. :-)

cool

lets see some pics when you get the new rifle home

You're competing for real @ 1000 yds. I'm playing with 8" plates @ 1000 yds....LOL. GOOD LUCK with the competition.

What are you shooting? I'm still toying with 175 gr .308 loads and am pretty consistent with 10" steel. 8" is 'hit or miss'. I can't keep the .308 supersonic and it's always moving a bit. Even more so when it gets Florida hot.

I'm interested in building a .338 'something'

When are you heading back this way again?

My range is only about 2.5 hrs south of Brent's place.

Picked up my rifle at lunch today and put what I had on it after work today. Still waiting on the titanium can to be made and I have to drop the rifle off to be threaded next week. Last thing I want to order is a good cheek rest. Here's what it looks like right now. Factory test firing produced a .24 group with 3 shots.
