How much weight did that add? Did it noticeably throw off the balance?

I built a 50-cal percussion-cap muzzle loader pistol from a kit years back...sucker is a wrist-snapper.

Billy, I’m also a revolver fan...I thought I’d posted a pic of my grandpa’s last revolver, his Security Six (fun fact: his name was Theodore Roosevelt, but not one of the ones you’re familiar with...).

This gun has a REALLY light single-action trigger pull...it can’t be more than 8-10 ounces.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. Since the Glock 20SF has got some weight to it, I would say a negligible difference. That being said, I've handled the gun more with with the light than without.




Imported a Sig 553 300blk. Currently keeping in TN. On the waiting list for a second on in 223. No pics yet...can't wait to get my hands on it.

I have a tac-light hanging under the barrel of my 1911 - but another 2-3 ounces on that thing isn't exactly noticeable.

The Sig is waiting for me in TN. Parts for this thing have been stupid expensive... :?

$380 for a butt stock. $220 for three 30rd mags. Still don't optics for it. Parts have always been this pricy, but availability is certainly worse. Got a stock notification at 1:06AM. Had it ordered in less than half an hour. A friend who tried to order about an hour later found them already sold out.

It's like a whole new world for me. (Still living part time in OC) If you ever find yourself in TN, you definitely need to check out royal range.
