I picked these up not long after getting back from my last deployment:

G30SF, XDm 45 and S&W1911ES.

I've got just over 200 rounds a piece through the G30SF and the S&W and they've both been 100% so far. I've got the XDm 45 all ready to go for it's first trip to the range sometime in the next week or so.

The G30SF has a Fulcrum trigger kit and TFO night sights installed. The S&W got a new set of Meps and I'm still waiting on an ambi safety to come in that I ordered for it. I don't plan on messing with the XDm since it's already got factory night sights and is good to go as far as I'm concerned. 8)

More detail about the S&W 1911ES. Is that their version of the CCO? I have heard and read nothing but good things about the S&W 1911s.

I couldn't honestly tell you. Seems to be of the same basic configuration as the CCO, ( from what I remember )

I just fell in love with the looks of it, initially. However, the more and more I looked into the S&W, I made the decision to go for it. My usual CC is a Kimber CDP Pro II. What I'll probably do during the really hot days here is carry the Smith with it's slightly shorter grip/frame and carry the Kimber when it's a little cooler and I can wear a little more extensive concealment garment.

I like the lighter weight of the Smith's scandium frame. I had no problems at all during the last 200 plus rounds I fired through it of GA Arms FMJs and some Horday TAPs. I'm using Kimber Tac Pro seven round mags. I'm very pleased with this pistol!

What does the fulcrum trigger do for ya? I've got a 3.5# connector in my 30sf... would it change the feel of the trigger in any way when added to the new connector?

It has a more solid feel to me. Kinda hard to explain, but the stock trigger feels spongy. I don't really care for the plastic. The Fulcrum is aluminum and has a crisper feel. Its already a fairly light trigger and can be further adjusted to lighten the pull even more, supposedly down to around 2 - 2 1/2lbs. I'd probably just stick with the connector already in the Fulcrum unit.

[pml]

Very nice lineup.

 

[ARMT Guy]

Very nice lineup.

Thank you!

The XDm 45 will replace my XD45 Service in the HD role. The S&W 1911ES will alternate with my Kimber Pro CDP II as my daily CC pistol. The G30SF will alternate with my G36 for when I want to have some more firepower on hand.

 

[D3R3K]

That is some serious firepower! Welcome home and congrats on the new heavies!

Thank you!

When I first started CC'in back in the mid '90s, I started off with 9mm then transistioned to .40. This was my carry caliber for several years until I was stationed in northern NY. :help: :shakehead: With the combination of the AWB and NY's state version of it, ( that didn't expire :evil: ) I switched over from .40 to .45 and have been carrying it as my primary caliber every since. 8)
