Just wanted to thank Frank and his guys for Supporting the CA State IDPA Match this year.
We really appreciate it.

First off, John and Martin are SUPER DUPER GREAT GUYS!

Last Saturday, I did a total of 9 DROS with them and they have accomplished this in about 35 minutes! I can't believe it myself. I live 50 miles away from that shop but I only give my business to them. They are first class gentlemen and not to mention the good prices that they have. Heck, I always go there every 10 days to pick up something. They are that great.

Thanks Irvington Arms for a great service! Do note that you have gained a very loyal customer here!

I've been to IA twice for PPT and I have to say I am impressed with their customer service. My next few retail purchases will be with them.

1) ORGANIZED - (First time I've seen a check list for the CA DROS process ON THE RECEIPT - damned awesome). Most of the gun shops I've gone to have been a comedy of errors when it comes to filling out the forms, and it's always taken over a 1/2 hour. Irvington had me done in like 15 minutes.

I've always wondered about gun shops who do this slowly. It would seem to me that they fill out the same form every day. It should start to go pretty quickly after about, oh, the 5th one.

I miss the personal service that Irvington arms provides since moving to Texas. I liked Lumpy also....

I'm sure the big black dog misses you too.

I have had good dealings with Irvington Arms. Living a mile away makes them convenient, which is why I started going there several years ago. However, visiting Reeds in San Jose convinced me Irvington Arms was a good store, not just a convenient one.

Alot of the guys who work in gun stores - and it is mostly guys - have been outpaced by the technology & and exacting paperwork required for DROS & transfer. And there's still quite a bit of the "I don't go in fer' no book learnin'" out there. I usually don't mind. I figure there's worse things than being stuck in a gun store for a while.

I hate you, Irvington Arms. (a joke, a joke...)

I made my first trip out to IA yesterday to talk with Frank about a bunch of topics regarding PPC Match shooting, he has more knowledge in his left pinky than I have in my entire brain; it was great (thanks again, Frank). But there is a problem...

I have/had pretty much almost decided on a certain handgun as my next purchase, it is/was in my mind and I had it almost planned out. Then Frank goes and shows me an 'upgraded' (sights, trigger job, springs replaced, etc.) gun they did to another model of handgun within the same family line at a very, very nice price when you include their gunsmithing (less than $200 over MSRP). And this particular gun is a well-known model in the competition circuits to boot.

Now I don't know what to do, hah. Mainly one (the 'upgrade') is .9lbs heavier than the other which I had planned, back to the drawing board. I'm almost tempted to drive the ~40mi back out there and DROS, buy one now and the other later - what the heck.

...sigh...

[joel1316]

Yeah! Get both!
I was in there buying a Kimber Target II and they had an Eclipse in stock, I'm fighting like crazy to keep my wallet in my pocket...

If you're serious about PPC, a revolver is the way to go. I'm sure IA can help you figure out what to get. A custom 686 would probably be the most common choice.
If you want a handgun, my top choices would be:
custom 6" 1911 in 9x19, S&W 952PC-PPC, SIG210-5 LS, Sig Sauer X6 or Pardini GT9 6" (so unless you're LEO, choosing a revolver would probably be a lot cheaper/easier )

I have a couple of PPC-tuned 210s, a custom 686 and a Pardini that I'd be more than willing to let you test fire before you make up your mind

[AfricanHunter]

Another +1 for IA. Went there for the first time this weekend to DROS a Mega. Ended up getting a 10/22 also. Guys were very friendly and helpful (which is a RARE experience when going to a gun store where they don't know you). Highly Recommended!

Rich there can make your revolver run slick as snot. I'm sure somone will chime in about their trigger job, etc. that he put together

The Kill other gun shops by a super long shop, make me think they can make a 22lr hit its target a 5 miles away......

Put down the booze and step away until you can form a cohesive and intelligent sentence.
