Thanks for watching. I haven't heard the story about the instructor telling his students to bring three Kimbers, but it doesn't surprise me. I have yet to have a Kimber fail me, even after several thousand rounds of hard use.

I'd like to say that there is another option, but with any 1911/2011-style pistol - or any gun that has a manual safety and is carried in "condition one" - you do need to "ride the safety". You need to train, not until you get it right, but until you can't get it wrong, to thumb the safety off when coming up on target, riding the safety while shooting, and thumbing the safety back on when returning to the holster.

Occasionally I see pre-owned P-10S for under $300. New ones can be had for around $400. Anything over $450 (US Dollars) is a rip off.

Thank you for watching.

Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts.

Ahh, but "The Best" .25acp pistol is still the first to officially have the brand name "The Best", though there may be some argument as to whether or not it really is the best. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts.

Craft Holsters, Wright Leather Works and Galco Gun Leather all make holsters for the King Cobra. I'm sure there are other brands I haven't thought of. Thanks for watching.

Yes, providing you give proper attribution to my channel, AND you don't use the video, or any portion of the video, for any type of commercial purpose or financial gain without first obtaining written approval from me to do so.

Thank you for watching and adding your thoughts on the G3c.

@@RidersRange have you tested a hellcat?

Yes, I tested the Hellcat RDP a little more than three years ago. Search my channel for that review.

@@RidersRange I did just didn’t go back far enough. Thanks

Thank you for watching.

The red finish (anodizing?) is definitely wearing off.

Bummer to have a gun confiscated and the hassle to get it back. Thanks for watching and adding the info.

The original TWC9 apparently wasn't designed by, or approved by, folks who shoot a lot. The safety on the one that I shot for this video was much improved over the first one I held. Thanks for watching.

As always, thank you for watching. 1) I haven't taken the time to work on the Girsan trigger. I want to like that gun, but there are so many projects that keep me from spending time "gunsmithing" the Girsan. 2) I rarely shoot from bags or a rest, unless I have difficulty hitting my smaller plates at 50 yards. I'm guessing that the Wilson EDC X9, Kimber KDS9c and Dan Wesson DWX Compact are all capable of 1" at 25 yards - with the right ammo. 3) I really want to love the DWX Compact. However, after a friend shot it yesterday and found the front sight to again be "self-adjusting" after only two mags of 115gr ammo, I'm afraid I'm going to have to send it in for warranty work. In the mean time, the Kimber fits my hand better than the Wilson, but the Wilson just exudes quality - and oh, that trigger. Decisions, decisions.

"Better" is totally subjective. I have a few basic criteria for "better" for me (in order of importance to me): 1) Function/reliability with all ammo; 2) Trigger feel; 3) Accuracy out to 50 yards; 4) How it feels in my hand; 5) How well it conceals; 6) How well it's made, including finish. For me, the Wilson EDC X9 hits all the criteria except #4 - it just feels blocky in my hand compared to the KDS9c and DWX Compact. Both the Kimber KDS9c and the Dan Wesson DWX Compact feel better to me in my hand than the Wilson (though my wife prefers the Wilson). All three guns function flawlessly, have great triggers, are wonderfully accurate (though I'm still testing the DWX Compact), and conceal well. The Wilson is tops in fit and finish, with the DWX right behind. The Kimber is a little lacking in that category, but not by much. So, in the things that are important to me, it looks like the new DWX Compact will top my list (once I get the self-adjusting front sight issue fixed), with the Kimber right behind, while my beautiful EDC X9 will sit in the safe. "Your mileage may vary".

I have searched and can't find a Gen 5 Glock 25. If you have a source for the G25 gen 5, please send a link.

I agree. Thanks for watching.

Thanks once again for watching.

It's always enjoyable to customize a gun, but $2,100 is knocking on the door of the Staccato P. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I just did a search for a full size DWX without a rail and couldn't find one.

The base plates from the CZ 14-round mags on the MecGar 15-round mags look just fine in the DWX. I'm not excited about spending almost $80 for the 20-round mags from Henning. But thanks for the info and thanks for watching.

Yea it would add up the buy bass pads for dwx compact…but it looks lot nicer and they have red option on Henning website…other models of similarly priced pistols have magazine that cost 80+…spending 30$ for mec gar n 20$ for bass pad not super crazy price…but it should be sold on cz or Dw website…pretty dumb it isn’t

Thank you for watching and commenting. The only red baseplates for the Compact that I see on the Henning website are the +3 at $39.95 each. (Or go with the 20-round mags on the Henning site for $78.30 each, plus shipping.) For a carry gun - isn't that what the DWX Compact is intended for? - the base pads off my original 14-round CZ P01 mags look good on the DWX Compact mags and actually work better than the original Henning bases.

Thank you for watching.

Thanks for watching and for the kind comment.

I agree that I need to slow down some and I recognize that when I am editing that video. It's a bad habit I haven't worked hard enough to break. Thanks for pointing that out. As to the KDS9c grip, I ordered those off the Kimber website.

@@RidersRange 🙂 Maybe get a comparison of shooting and accuracy between KDS9C and the others?

Hmmm.....something to think about. Thanks.

I would like to see a comparison with the kimber kds9c as well,

I like Staccato 2011 pistols and my daily carry gun is a Staccato C DUO (the single-stack model, not the newest C double-stack). However, the blocky grip on Staccato double-stack pistols, including the newest edition of the "C", isn't as ergonomic or as concealable as the CZ-style grip on the DWX, or even the Kimber KDS9c. I have a Staccato C2 and I've shot the CS, but neither feels as good in my hand or conceals as well as the DWX.

@@RidersRange Thanks I really your input.

Thank you for watching and commenting.

I'm with you, though I'm guessing you and I are in the minority. Thanks for watching.

@@RidersRange yup we probably are in the minority. More angular and more bulk. Not what I want for a draw from the holster. My bedside gun has a light and a proper holster though. Thank you

It's actually red, though I didn't color-correct the video, so it looks pink. Thanks for watching.

The gun community is like most others - driven by trends and fads. Right now the trend is for weapon-mounted lights. That's great for law enforcement and military, and for some, it's tacti-cool. But in my not-always-so-humble opinion, there is no reason to hang a light - or anything else - on a carry gun for private citizens, so a rail is just added weight and drag. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@RidersRange Completely agree with your comment!

This is absolutely wrong,

The whole idea of DA/SA is so one can carry the gun in the equivalent of "Condition Two", but absent the safety. Those who want to carry in "Condition One" generally opt for a single-action only pistol. Thanks for watching.

@@RidersRange You're absolutely right. I don't really see the need for thumb safety in double action like the PX4F has. I had a px4 myself and liked it, but I never used DA. . I do remember wishing it had a SA safety option though.

Thanks for watching.

Mine are original and each holds 6 rounds.

Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts on the accurate little gun. As to mags, my friend @craigromack6156 just brought me a couple 10-round mags and a 25-round. I'll have to ask him where he got them.

Thanks for watching and commenting. It's been five months since surgery and I am about 90% plus. That final 10% is the hardest. My doctor and physical therapist both say it'll take about a year to get as good as it will ever get.
