I started to buy Red Dots when Crimson Trace decided to not make grip lasers for S&W M&P 2.0's. I really never had a problem with the Crimson Trace laser's "washing out in bright sunlight". If I couldn't see the dot it took no time to rely on my iron sights, why? Because whenever I looked for...

I have been carring a 1911 since I got my concealed permit and even before I had a permit a 1911 was close by! Just not on me :). I sometimes do carrya 9mm but mostly still prefer the 45's, I really don't know how many 1911's that I own! Guess I should do a head count but it doesn't matter cause...

This is exactly why I'm taking my Colt Commander out of the safe more and more. I feel myself lucky as I got a couple SOB holsters from Dillon Precision before they quit carring them. The holsters carry my Commander and full size 1911 almost horizontal to my belt. Before someone jumps on my...

I totally agree with you there! In '89 or '90 the American Rifleman had an article on the "new Star M45", it was a copy of the gun you just described, anyway I had my local gun dealer order me 1. If I remember it has a 4" barrel and 6 round magazine, I've never had such an accurate 45! Only...

Cool story, I never brought home any war trophies, was just glad to get home! I now regret that!

I'm heading to a gun shop tomorrow to pick up my first 2020, ordered it 2 months ago. I'm sure it won't be my last!

I was lucky enough to purchase a Springfield National Match M1A and later a synthetic "loaded" M1A, love them both!

I bought my first Springfield in '86 or '87 for IPSC shooting, I shot it loose and traded it for another in 2003 long after I got out of the pistol shooting competition and now just use it for fun matches. I really don't know how many 1911's I own! I have a 10mm, a few officer models and a Colt...

I was going to answer that reference to FSB Mary Ann & FSB Albany but you did it a lot more eloquently then I was about to!

You are so totally correct! We never lost Vietnam! LBJ and Nixon did!

That is so true! He wasn't going to let anyone not follow his orders, didn't matter who! If that same discipline today we might not have had the end of every war we have been involved in since WW2! We let generals in the Pentagon call the shots and not give a hoot about the bloodshed of our...

My father in law served under General Patton for almost 4 years in Europe. He had nothing but praise for General Patton! My father in law didn't say anything that he didn't really feel was true.

I bought my first 1911 in the mid to late 70's, it was a series 70 that had gone through the Colt custom shop so it is a shooter. I bought a Springfield Armory 1911 and literally shot it to pieces, the slide was very loose and couldn't hold a decent group, but in fairness I was shooting pistol...
