Very Nice,  I know how a range trip can relieve a lot of stress.  Good to hear that the little gun and you are still doing what you want it to do.

Now regarding the loading of your Sig, toss the other loader in the back of a drawer and forget about it.  You need one of the Speed Beez loaders.  They don't require the three hands that those other loaders do.  You can easily load it with one hand full of cartridges and the loader in the other, not needing a table top or your thigh to make it work.

I got my third loader scheduled to arrive today for a mock43x I've put together.  If it works like the one I have for the G19 and CZ75 I will love it.  Plus it is just about impossible for me to fill all 20 rounds into that 43x magazine without help.

Regarding handguns of that size, check out the FN Reflex next chance you get.  It looks like a striker fired gun but is actually hammer fired and has a surprisingly good trigger out of the box. Capacity, price, reliability, optic mounting options are similar to other guns in it's class.  However, don't see a lot of off the shelf holsters for it yet.

The package came in today,  I was worried because there was a hole in it and the USPS around my area has issues with losing mail,  but they were in the package and okay.

Thanks a lot Corey.

If anyone decides to make any extensions, please put me on the list to buy some. I tried the Pearce extensions, they give much better grip, but I can’t get them to be reliable enough to feel comfortable betting my life on them.

I may be late to the game on this 'discovery' but I am with it now.

Just tried one of those cheap (2 for $10) electric tooth brushes you buy at the grocery store on a pistol.

It seems to really help clean the gunk off, better than a regular toothbrush. 

Makes it easy to get into some of those hard to reach places around the firing pin on the slide.  Got the little bits of stuff off the area between a 10/22 barrel and the frame as well.  That normally takes me a few q-tips and a sharp peg to accomplish.  Going to try it on an AR barrel extension after the next range trip.

Those would be a nice upgrade for sure!
