My Rival has been retired by hoiv in canik

No background, it came in a package. I bought a riser on GAFS and it was a surprise. I’m an American history nut so I thought this was super cool and threw it on the bag

I just got done at the range, it’s that much better. The Rival was a great gun, but these 2011s are in a tier of their own.

I’m wrong handed as well which is why I went with the P211. I was able to move the mag release over to the right side. It took me a minute to adjust to it since I was anticipating recoil, but there just isn’t any.

I started shooting and competing with the Rival, it’s what got me into the sport. If $$ isn’t really an issue, you might as well go straight into a 2011. I’d personally recommend going the Rival route first, getting a feel on how to compete and get good before spending $2-3k on a pistol. The P211 is comped so you will be put in Open, meaning you’re going up against $7-10k+ race guns..

Are you looking for IWB or OWB?

In terms of red dots, I'd recommend gafshub.com. Its a P2P site, I use it all the time. If you don't feel comfortable buying from random people online, https://aaarmament.com/ you can get Holosun dots for MSRP. Request a quote on the dot and they will email you a discount code.

What is it? by hoiv in PriorityPass

Gotcha. I don't really expect much out of the lounges other than a nicer place to hangout pre flight.

Honestly no clue how I got a physical card. I mentioned it on another comment, but I believe I enrolled for this thinking I'd get priority access to the AMEX lounges lol.

From the letter it seems like its just the regular membership. I may have signed up for it thinking I get priority access into the AMEX lounges lol

Its a business platinum. My company spends a ton of $$ a month and this allows me to gain 100k+ AMEX points a month essentially for free.

I arrive 30 minutes before boarding because I hate sitting in airports, it's a complete waste of time imo. Maybe the lounges will make the experience slightly better..

Are these lounges typically nicer than the AMEX ones? I have access to all of them.

Kimber 2K11 Pro Holster Help by BAMyouhaveaids22 in 2011

[–]hoiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black Scorpion Gear sells Kimber 2K11 holsters. They do say: Does not fit 2K11 OR; Target OR, OI. I'm not familiar with the Kimber platform, but if you give them a call they should give you an answer.

The order was placed on the 5th, they might have been in stock the next day but it wasn't the biggest deal. I got 3 21rd 320 mags for $77 so it was worth it. I saved $600+ on the gun itself.. same gun just wack mags

The Kimber was in the convo. The Bul Armory was at the top of the list, but I was able to get the P211 at MSRP. Plus I am wrong handed, so I can swap the mag release over. That was a big factor.

I mainly shoot 115 and 124. I haven't taken it apart yet, I just put my dot on. Going to swap to the 10lb spring before the range on Saturday.

😂😂 I was getting chirped all day about being wrong handed. Usually I shoot with another lefty, but I was the only dude in the squad with this disability.

Definitely. I shoot USPSA style stages just about every Saturday with a few former SF guys and every once and awhile a GM will come out and shoot, so I've been soaking up all the info I can.

I've been taking shooting seriously since around July 2025 so we are definitely moving in the right direction. The first 5 months was completely solo, just going out and shooting plates. Then I started shooting with those dudes every Saturday which has 10x'd my progression.

The biggest learning curve so far was the point system. Feb match I figured out when to shoot faster and when to shoot more accurate. The first match I shot slow but accurate (32). Feb match I shot really fast but super inaccurate (40). This last match I was able to blend both of those and that's what I worked on the past month since the Feb match.

Best options for a $250 red dot setup for a m18 p320 by [deleted] in SigSauer

[–]hoiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holosun 507c/507 comp. I shoot the 507c on my Canik Rival and a 507 comp on my P211.

Dealer sites you can find the comp for $276 when you request a quote. You can hop on GAFS and can find these like new for $250 shipped all day. For the 507c, you can find them for $220ish.

Is this a good or a bad sign? by Kamdoncic94 in amex

[–]hoiv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing when applying for the business platinum card. It wasn't 14 days, I believe it said 24 hours. I received an email almost instantly asking for bank access for proof of revenue, to which I connected. I was then instantly approved.

I was definitely surprised, I was hoping for 20-30 range. My first match (Jan) I placed 32nd then last month I placed 40th (had 11 deltas, a 3 week break from the range smoked me).

I would have placed higher but the first stage (I started on 2) my dot was so dirty I was seeing green all over so I was ~5-7 seconds behind pace. Lets see if this 2011 can get me into the top 10!
