Sweet. Without using my Google skills, upgrades of this over the STI?It's an Akai Custom 2011, chambered in 40 S&W. Purpose built for USPSA Limited division.

It's a complete custom built gun. The slide feels like it's on bearings, it has a longer recoil stroke than most normal 1911/2011's, it has a sleeved barrel to add static weight, pinned grip safety, trigger job, etc.Sweet. Without using my Google skills, upgrades of this over the STI?

I generally agree about 40 S&W, but it's the most competitive cartridge in USPSA Limited division.Ughhhh, 40 short and wimpy. Only place it belongs is on ranges punching paper targets! :bolt:

Got my SIG MPX pistol back. At round #2396 the firing pin had broken at the tip.
MPX shipped to SIG last Monday. MPX delivered back to me today (Monday). Just test fired it in the yard, and it functioned fine. Put back in/on my aftermarket brace, optic, and LaRue trigger group. Fast service on SIG's part.
Paperwork says, "Inspected the pistol, replaced the bolt carrier, firing pin and spring, extractor spring and gas valve, test fired with no malfunctions."
No idea why extractor spring and gas valve were replaced, but new parts are fine with me. Will probably re-sight it in this afternoon. I'll also be ordering an aftermarket firing pin and spring to keep on hand.

I still would not want to get shot with one.
Idoono

Went to Kevdive's and brought my Remington M700 light tactical 6.8SPC rifle. I believe it's a somewhat scarce model (this is not the long heavy bbl model Remington first offered) that Remington made a few of and stopped. It took me quite a while, working on and off (mostly "off" just not doing anything with it) with it over a few years to find a load it likes and how to shoot it accurately off the bench. Bench rest bags, front and rear have to be lined up with the target (not canted or at an angle) such that the rifle, upon firing, goes straight back into your shoulder.
I had worked up a load (Hornady 120gr SST bullets) and sighted it 1.5" high at 100yd, but had not fired it farther. Calculated drop at 200yd was 2". Sure enough, today at 200yd it hit 2" below the point of aim. I am happy with it now. My brother is selling his Georgia farm and moving to Utah, so this year could be my last deer hunting there. I might take the Rem M700 6.8 rifle for one of my deer.
That’s 100% accurate, I was amazed at how it felt racking the slide on that fine weapon.

Nice pistol and nice shooting!
Thanks! Unfortunately now all of my excuses are gone. If I miss a target, it's all on me.
Blame it on the ammo.
