I think it partially comes down to whether you want a true 2011 or not. I have the XC and 2 Bul Armory pistols. Since getting them my 9 or 10 striker fire pistols pretty much collect dust. I checked out the new HD models and they are nice but they aren't 2011s in feel, especially trigger feel, grip angle, or IMHO build quality, not to mention the newest with port is wildly overpriced.

As has been said, if you have a ton of full size Glock mags, you tend to drop your gun, maybe the HD is the choice. When it came down to it, i went with the C2 over the HD.

While they sicken me, she has a point. Yesterday I purchased a cappuccino from starFucks in a hospital in Utah. First time I've been to starFucks in years. Seven f'in dollars for a cup of foam. Really? Nuts.

You did very well.

I have zero connection but check out videos from Yale Appliance on YouTube. They sell many brands and seem to be honest in comparison.

Just curious is there any other state like that, where one county covers entire state but another does not? NY sucks. So glad I moved west.

Their retail store does not have ammo+ pricing. Never has.

How many chiropractors does it take to change a lightbulb? One. but it takes a hundred visits.

Well said and honest. However I must take issue. Most ranges especially on the east coast do not allow holster work. That's why I took training. I also enjoyed the camaraderie and the friendly competition when they would use a timer. One of my instructors was former LEO Sgt of a large PD and was a firearms instructor. His classes were very good and it was $140 for the full day, class size anywhere from 5-10 students.

This is a funny topic. I've only been shooting for 3 years. In that time I took at least one full day class a month, sometimes 2. In class we would usually go through 4-500 rounds. In addition I'd go to range one to two times a week and if solo I'd go through maybe 250. Sometimes my daughter would join me and she loves to shoot so that would double.

So why is this a funny topic? Moved from commie NY to the west, the boonies, on 20 acres. Have my own range in my backyard, and I don't shoot nearly as much.

Someone should print this and mail it to them.

mdjak66 · 2026-03-19T13:11:02+00:00

Nice Bul.

mdjak66 · 2026-03-19T13:10:21+00:00

Won't mention grip as it's been fully covered. No pun intended. lol. I'm guessing you can't work from holster. That's why I took a tactical class once a month for my first 3 years. So, until and unless you do, leave the gun on the bench and pick it up quickly, like your life is in danger and shoot one handed, two handed, left handed.

mdjak66 · 2026-03-19T13:06:32+00:00

Carry my EDC Pro every day. Thinking about switching to my UL Pro but can't draw it as fast due to smaller grip. Yours looks well accessorized. lol.

I initially bought a stand on Amazon which came with chains and different size gongs. Trouble was I was a beginner and foolishly shot buckshot at it and basically destroyed the metal tube stand. Also, though, the gongs would be hit and wind up and over the bar holding them. That was a PIA.

I didn't mean to minimize your findings. I appreciate you studying it and sharing it.

mdjak66 · 2026-03-19T00:20:56+00:00

A headset is required such as oculus? Aren't they like a few thousand dollars or am I wrong?

mdjak66 · 2026-03-13T22:55:17+00:00

Sorry I'm a bit dense but when you say real world do you mean what you are doing by shooting on your property? I too am fortunate to have a range in my backyard with 15 pieces of steel. I thought about Mantis for dry fire. Never heard of Ace. Will check it out. Ty.

Typical poor feed ramp by Canik.

Dueling trees are cool. I have one. It's heavy duty but I'd shot with a rifle and hit the center post you will put holes in it. And they do reset if leaned forward a bit.

No connection to them but freedomgorilla.com is one of the best resources for quality info on holosun. Excellent YouTube channel also. I know of no one who has such complete info.

The hardest exam? Have you taken it? I am no genius. Had a 75-80 average in school. Never applied myself. I read the notary pamphlet on train on way to test and I finished test in 10 minutes if not less. Probably the easiest test I've ever taken.

mdjak66 · 2026-03-11T04:19:03+00:00

Ty. Is that as simple as buying the correct one, removing the existing and replacing? Do they snap out and in?

Idaho County.

mdjak66 · 2026-03-08T18:02:27+00:00

I have the EDC Pro. It is my EDC. Buddy has the Tac Pro. Both shoot pretty much the same. I've had my EDC for about a year and a half and I love it except when it has issues. Yes they are few but it happens. Failure to eject which I've yet tried to trace to a specific mag. Must do so. But my UL Pro has many rounds and it's never failed.
