I can't like the Q stuff. Their owner is a loudmouth dick and a stalker. He started Advanced Armament and I think used to work for Sig too. His products might be good, but his online persona of being rude constantly trashing all of his competitors gets really old. It gets him a lot of followers though, so it must be working.

I don't know anything about the Q owner and I'm not really interested in the Q Fix. The Sig Sauer is $1,520 cheaper and I am curious if it's actually $1,520 less rifle. You can almost get two Sig CROSS for the price of one Fix. It could be because it is that much better or it could be because they are just a small shop and can't mass produce them economically.

Today was Industry Day at the Range and I am excited to say that were actually some new products! To me, it still seems like exploration into the wildcat calibers is a growing trend, but there seems to be some new pistols coming out to go with them. Ruger and Diamondback both are entering the 5.7x28mm market.
Ruger introduced the Ruger-57: a 1911 style pistol. I found that it fit my smaller hand well and I found it to be accurate. Recoil was noticeable, but it was not snappy and I had no issues staying on target. The slide was easy to manipulate and the trigger pull was smooth. Overall, I liked this pistol - especially with a MSRP about $800.
Diamondback introduced the DBX57: an AR-style pistol. This was a lot lighter than I expected it to be. The model on the bench had a folding pistol brace and I shot it with the brace fully extended. I was on target and I really liked the trigger. I liked the short reset and the ease of the trigger pull. I don’t have information on when it will be available or an MSRP as of yet, but as I soon as I get this info I will update this post.

Walther came out with a .380 CCP M2 and a Q4 steel frame pistol in 9mm. The CCP was one of the easiest to rack and handle .380s I have ever shot. I was seriously surprised. I have always liked the grip on the Walthers because it always fits my hand and I don’t hAve to constantly readjust after each shot. I had no issue with hitting the target, but I did the find trigger pull to be a bit on the long side and the reset was long as well. with a MSRP of ~$470, you can buy a .380 that you won’t hate to shoot.
The Q4 was like a step into the every day shooter world from their more competitive shooter the Q5. Like with everything Walther, I found the pistol to handle well. I was on target, and would have enjoyed shooting it more if time permitted it. The steel frame adds a bit to the price, but if you’re looking for a high performance concealed carry weapon, this should fit your needs. It will be available for purchase with or without the optics and suggested MSRP will start near $1400.

A common problem that I have with full-sized pistols is that they are too big for my hands and I frequently end up with too much trigger finger on the trigger. For me, this means I usually end up shooting high and to the right. A lot of after market triggers look to make the action smoother and decreasing the trigger pull. With one exception, I have never had an issue with the actual action of the trigger.
Pressure Break is making a trigger, currently available for Glock models and soon to be available for the AR platform, that looks at trigger pull differently. Using two parallel grooves for sensory feedback, it’s nearly impossible to allow myself to use more trigger finger on a full sized pistol. You feel the grooves and know instantly where your finger is on the trigger and how much finger is on the trigger. In fact, I was able to notice that my shot groups became much tighter in just half a magazine.
It’s always satisfying to hit the target and notice instant improvement. Especially if you’re an over thinker like I am. with an MSRP of about $60, this is a cost effective way to improve your shooting.
