Default New Pistolas

How do I make myself feel better? Get a new pistola. Although, I did order it before my father passed.
This is a new gun manufacturer based out of Plano, Texas. It copies the Glock platform.

https://shadowsystemscorp.com/mr920/

I attached an RMR on it. Tomorrow I’ll zero it and will share the dirty pics.




For those that are bright (not ) might have noticed that “pistolas” is plural.
Yeap. Have another handgun coming. You’ll really like this one. I’ll post when I get it.

I will be seriously interested on your take on these guns. I have been tempted on ordering one through expertvoice. Usually pretty good sales with them on there but just nothing really out there about the guns.

I can not wait for your range report and evaluation.

Congrats btw!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

All right, here goes. Why did I buy this pistol? Because, why not?

Seriously though a friend of mine that works for a LGS turned me on to them. He showed me one he had put aside for a customer and let me paws all over it. The first thing I felt was the grip. It just felt good in the hand. The second was the trigger, smooth and crisp. First impression, they listened to the most common Glock complaints.



So, now I get it and set it up with an RMR and go to the range.

First thing I do is co-witness the RMR with the factory sights. Next I go and make sure it's a 25 yard zero. In pic 1 they are the shots above the logo. Then I put through a series of rapid fire with different round counts. In other words, double, triple or more taps. Those were aimed at the log0 and were distances from 5 to 15.

Zero issues! Performed flawlessly. Trigger is smooth and the reset crisp. Grip is comfortable but it also comes with different backstrap for different hand sizes. I left mine with the one it had on. My friend went with a smaller profile.

My opinion? Well worth the investment! Why? As a Glock lover they took everything that people would do anyway and offer it from the factory. Stippling, smooth and crisp trigger, serrated slide, match grade threaded barrel, higher sights and RDS ready. If you were to customize a Glock with all those options it would easily run a couple of hundred more what you could get this pistol for.

And, can't beat that it's built in the ole U S of A!

What are they asking? I no longer qualify for ExpertVoice.
Btw, mine is the MR920 Elite.

Nope. P220 .45
Been wanting to add on to my collection for years. Friend walked in and said "I'll sell you mine for $350.00." Couldn't pass it up.

All in all this has been helping from not get stuck in a deep abyss of darkness.

P220...nice!! Great price too.

The shadows were going for last time around $550 shipped. Not 100% sure, they come and go on sale there every 4-5 months. Have not been on now since covid. I will watch for them to back on sale. They usually have 3 or 4 pistol options for sale.
