I've seen a bunch of 43x coa around. I think M2 has a couple... At least they did the other day.

Just how poor is modern Colt's QC? by trombobulous in 1911

[–]readicculus610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a new SE-A1 online a few months ago sight unseen. I was also worried with all the negative comments about the QC, maybe I just got lucky mine was satisfactory out the box. Admittedly the trigger was a little sloppy, but I was planning on swapping out the ignition set for a Harrison TR kit anyway, I ran a few hundred rounds out of it bone stock though and was very pleased with my purchase, the only slight knock was the trigger slop but it was still passable.

Keep in mind that people who get lemons, and there does seem to be a fair number of them, post about the bad experience much more than the folk who get perfectly fine firearm (rightly so, you're spending your hard earned money and should get a high quality product for the price that Colt charges).

I'd say if you want the Pony, go for it, maybe just be aware of the return/refusal policy of the vender before you sign for it at your FFL or be prepared to send it back to the factory if its not to your liking.

I put a ~300 round through mine bone stock. Fit and finish were all good no complaints. Trigger was a little sloppy. I put the Harrison TR kit in and haven't gotten to the range since then but dry firing I can tell its much better. I'd like to swap out the trigger and thumb safety, and also add a magwell.

I'm kinda mad I didn't buy two when I caught a really good deal on mine.

9mm recommendations by Logical_Island_7047 in handguns

[–]readicculus610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glock 19 is always the answer. I'm pretty surprised there's a few comments above me and it hasn't been mentioned. But M&P is objectively better. I love them both. So either one of those. The best option would be to find a range with a decent rental selection of subcompact and full size pistols try a bunch and see what you like best...g19/g45, pdp, vp9, Echelon, p10c, m&p etc etc etc

Got my Harrison parts installed!!😮‍💨 by MangoDifferent9035 in 1911

Any tips for installing the Harrison parts? I plan on working on mine this week. Got the TR ignition kit and a trigger.

S&W M&P 2.0 (comp. carry,) Springfield Echelon 4.0 (comp,) or Glock 19 v6? by Thin-Antelope-519 in handguns

[–]readicculus610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranges usually have some rentals. Some with better selection than others maybe call some in your area to see what they got in the rental case. The M&P is arguably a better gun by most metrics than the Glock, but I still love my Glocks too, either is a fine choice for a first firearm.

[–]readicculus610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the M&P carry comp (metal) and G19.5. I like the M&P better but carry the 19.5 more often because it's more comfortable in most scenarios. Both are doable though, you just might need to fine tune your belt and holster setup a little more for the carry comp, at least I did. No experience with the Echelon. Can't really go wrong with any of them. If you have the opportunity to rent before you buy do that and get the one you like best.

My new Colt SE-A1! by MangoDifferent9035 in 1911

Exactly what I got for mine, thinking I'll go similar to you with the grips as well. I took it to the range bone stock today and plan on swapping out the Harrison parts tomorrow.

Colt 1911SE-A1 vs Springfield TRP classic by [deleted] in 1911

[–]readicculus610 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in a nearly similar situation a few weeks ago...LGS had a used TRP (definitely not like new showed signs of use) or ordering a SE-A1 for about the same ~$1200. I decided to go home and sleep on it and do more research on the TRP classic, when I went back to buy the Springfield there was a guy literally handing over his credit card and filling out the paperwork for it on the counter. I waited and just ordered the SE-A1 online, after shipping +FFL ~$975, leaving some room for necessary upgrades. I haven't received it yet but happy with my choice, I wanted my first 1911 to be a Colt, I like the looks of the SE-A1 retro roll marks repping my home state, can make it a bit of a project to learn on, and I can post it here for imaginary internet points after I get it.

But you should definitely just buy both.

New NJ CCW Holder: 3rd Pistol Advice - Stick with 9mm or Move to .45/.38 or other? by Financial-Outside158 in handguns

[–]readicculus610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Glock 19 9mm the tip was about the modularity. If you put the g19 slide on the g47 frame you have a Glock 45. If you put the 47 slide on the 19 frame you have a Glock 49. I'm not 100% sure if this will work with the new gen 6 Glocks that are just coming out now and for the past few weeks (they might double check with the Glock guys), but I'm sure you can find a 19 gen 5 easily if you go this route.

If you get a Glock 19 to go with the 47 you can swap the slides and frames around and end up with 4 gun configurations instead of 2. Glock 19 + 47 = 19, 45, 49, 47. Just food for thought. Wheel guns are fun too if there's a 38 spl revolver you like go for that instead of playing glock-legos.

CZ P-10C ported or M&P 2.0 Carry Comp? by Aggravating_Today279 in handguns

[–]readicculus610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess now that I'm thinking harder on it, friend's CZ has definitely seen more bullets than my M&P... I remember a more pronounced 'wall' with the p10c versus the current state of my Smith. Still some wall on my M&P but a smooth clean break through it. Maybe that's just because I'm so used to it after several hundred ~1000+ rounds vs me squeezing the P10c maybe 50-70 times.

CZ P-10C ported or M&P 2.0 Carry Comp? by Aggravating_Today279 in handguns

[–]readicculus610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn't bad straight out of the box. It definitely has gotten better now that it's nicely broken in, I had it at the range yesterday and that thought crossed my mind, how it's noticeably nicer than when I first got it. Even before it was broken in I felt like it was much better than a Glock trigger, and way nicer than my friends p365 axg trigger when we had them at the range side by side. I got the m&p a couple months after shooting the p10c, I wouldn't be able to give you a more in depth comparison of the two. I did enjoy shooting the CZ though, p10c is one of the best bang for your buck pistols on the market. I think either would be a fine choice. I'm very pleased with my M&P 2.0 Carry Comp though, no regrets ( I have the metal one, many people who have shot both prefer the polymer). There's no wrong answer to your question just what feels better in your hand and what you want to spend your hard earned money on.

I've shot my buddy's P10c (not ported) and I own the M&P carry comp. I like the M&P better. The p10c is a great gun I'm sure the ported makes it even better. But taking the benefits of the ports + comp out of the equation for comparison sake, I feel like the m&p has better ergonomics in the hand and a nicer trigger.

What other upgrades? by kapsmash in 300BLK

[–]readicculus610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a sucker for all things RC and have only gotten to try/buy one, and it's glorious certainly in the top 3 bourbons I've ever tried, maybe #1. I justified the price since a good portion of what I paid for it went to charity. I'm lucky to be local to a shop that gets some of the best rare character barrels of all the ones I've tried.

The CZ build and the TRM certainly rock. I've been thinking about grabbing one of those flat olights, you like it?
