All I want to know is where have you been ?


Hadn't seen you on here or at any IDPA matches lately.

My brother bought the C3 last fall and I've been extremely impressed with the quality of the gun. I've spent a good deal of time shooting it and it's been equally as impressive. I would HIGHLY recommend the C3.

The last rimfire match I was in, they were still allowing centerfires but I had brought earmuffs that were for shooting rimfire and didn't have nearly enough noise reduction for centerfire. A couple of guys were shooting 40 S&W's under the roof and my ears are still ringing. I laid off a while hoping my ears would get better.

I've hardly shot anything since, just a few rounds to sight in my deer rifle.

I've got a Sig Carry 1911 with about 2000 rounds through it and never had a problem. It's my daily carry and is accurate and reliable. For the $$, Sig puts a lot of extras in their pistols.

I'd buy another in a heartbeat, and as a matter of fact, I'm considering a P938 later this winter.

Well, I want back to the gun store with the intention of buying the C3. But balked when I found out they didn't have any Officer mags and didn't know where they could get them.

So I decided to look for mags first. But looking around I saw a 5" Nightmare. That intrigued me, but I was really looking for a carry gun and wanted a 4" barrel. And the trigger on the Nightmare was worse than the one on the C3 real long creepy gritty pull.

I asked them what the prospects were of ordering a 4" Nightmare and they said the prospects weren't good.

Then I spotted another Sig and lo and behold, it was a 4" Nightmare. The slide was slicker than snot, and the trigger was exactly what I imagined a Sig trigger should be. No creep, no grit.

I already have enough Gov/Commander length mags to outfit a private army...so I pulled the trigger on it...so to speak

Yeah I know...Pictures Pictures Pictures. They are coming...
