Well there is the issue....."Glock"

Yeah...in this case you are absolutely correct. Night sights don't glow...used fingernail polish to make them visible. Rear sight was far left....gun shot right when sights were lined up. I did the best I could with what I had.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Brother, I would continue to take that work gun until I could wear out those plates. Might just save your life one day.

Yeah, company doesn't take care of their crap and don't want me to either. But I do see your point.

If it shot right when they were lined up that may be why they were offset to begin with. Problem with a gun like that is you can get it back to POA but only at specific distance.

That's scary.

Yesterday a buddy stopped by for our weekly BS session. He's a Kimber guy. Always bragging on his expertise with his Pro CarryII. I tell him I have a new RO I just bought. He doesn't look impressed. When I bring her out and unzip the case, he looked like a 10 year boy who just saw his first set of boobs!! He will be with me tomorrow. Should be a fun time smoking kimbers all day!!

The 23c makes for some cool videos! Good job BNB, I didn't get the chance to watch them the other night.

I need to get moving...meeting a guy from CL for a fuel tank on my tractor @ 09:00.

If I was going to be there awhile I might buy my own version of the same gun and get it set up as well as possible. You have to be in a reasonably high risk area for a company to incur the risk of liability by arming its officers. That tells me it could very well go to hell in a hand basket. I would want to be as ready as I could and $500-$600 is less that what I value my life at.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Take care Gman

 

[KJQ6945]

See ya Gman. Watch those Craigslist people.

Like a buzzard over fresh roadkill.

Now that sounds like a good day. . I particularly like to smoke certain brands myself.

Have a good one, Gman.

On site supervisor does random weapon checks. Checks #s. If they don't match there's a big problem. I've brought up my issues with my issued gun many times they never go anywhere. Not surprised about this considering this is the company who won't allow you to carry with one in the chamber yet requires us to wear a lvl2 bullet resistant vest on duty.

I guess that's their hedge against the liability. Whoever made that policy wasn't smart enough to realize you can't have it both ways. I bet he isn't out there carrying those turds.

Bring him down here. I will run open sites against any compact 1911. I know how those kimbers run. Accurate enough but not anywhere near a bulls-eye shooter.

I'd pay to watch that.

Sounds like a company that doesn't put a whole lotta value on your decision making skills. What reasoning to they give for not having one in the chamber?

No reasoning. Just "do this" and "sign here." Then take this NRA basic pistol class where you don't practice drawing or racking the slide to put one in the chamber, and we'll call you "trained."
