After 1,000 rounds, the CZ 75 TS Czechmate is still a hoot—flawless reliability with handloaded 9 Major, despite front-heavy balance and a pesky recoil dip. Tinkering continues: filed safeties and swapped optics. A discontinued gem worth saving for Open fun.
It’s official: the Staccato XL has devoured its first case of ammo. That means it’s time for the 1,000-round review. Spoiler alert—it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. We’re talking wear, mods, and a trip back to the mothership.
The Dan Wesson Pointman 45 reached the 1000 round milestone. Despite a couple of small inconvenient issues, it’s proving to be a winning choice for competition.
The Staccato C2 has reached the 1000 round milestone. While it had a rocky start with an unfortunate repair, it’s proving to be a defensive carry power house for avid pistoleros.
The Mark IV continues to be one of my all time favorite 22 LR pistols to compete in Steel Challenge with. Having now put 1000 rounds of CCI Mini Mag through it, I have more to say about it.
The Daniel Defense DDM4 V11 continues to impress me. It’s been reliable and dependable in class and competition even after putting a thousand rounds through it without regard for how it’s been configured and reconfigured.
The CZ Shadow 2 and the Trijicon SRO have now sent around 1,000 rounds down range. That means it’s time to see how both the USPSA Carry Optics setup and my opinion of it have evolved since their initial review.
It’s about time to take another look at the Heckler & Koch VP9 Match and see how my opinion has evolved after having spent a fair amount of quality time with it.
