nope. But I have used Gunzilla. Remarkable stuff. It gets carbon and powder residue out of an already cleaned weapon! It took the place of all of my other cleaners ...including lubes. I now use Hoppe's #9 as a room freshener.

I spilled a medium size full bottle of Hoppes #9 all over the carpet not too long ago. Oops.

If you use the Blackhawk CQC make sure you train with it like crazy. They are banned from a lot of competitions because the draw can be dangerous in a stressful situation. I think a few people have had their fingers slip onto the trigger during the draw and shot themselves in the leg.

I think the problem is most people tend to push down on the release really hard and they maintain that pressure as they draw from the holster, and that can cause their finger to slip onto the trigger and *boom*.

Never had a problem with it. I've used the thing for so long, I guess I'm just use to it. I have heard of this happening tho. But hey, I guess not everyone can be as great as me....

Well I broke down and spent money I probably shouldn't have. I've been wanting a new light for my G23. The Sig I have is nice but I wanted a bit more. So I went, with what I think is the best in the industry, the Surefire X300. Found it on E-Bay for $205.

Also Comp-Tac has a Black Friday Sale of 20% off everything today only with the coupon code "Black-2011." So I order a new Belt Holster for my G23 with X300 light, a Minotaur Concealment Pouch to carry an extra G36 magazine and a new set of Standard Clips for my current Minotaur MTAC Holster.

Now I just have to wait till my next R&R in March to get home and try everything. LOL!

^^^LOL! IF they draw correctly their trigger finger should land on the slide as they pull up on their weapon. Not on the trigger or inside the trigger guard.

^Operative phrase^.

IMHO, it's a dangerous holster for those that don't train regularly with it.

Hey all I just picked up a new Ruger Mini-14. I have never had a rifle like this and don't really know what kind of scope to get. It's not going to be used much, so the scope doesn't need to be fancy. Looking to spend $100 or less. Any suggestions?

BlackZeda · 12-08-2011, 10:59 PM
