I'm a 1911 guy from way back. The first handgun I ever fired was an Army issue 1911A1. It felt so natural in my hand I qualified Expert. 😁 My primary carry for most of my adult life is a Colt LW Commander in .45acp. (y) I currently own 20+ 1911s in various brands, sizes and calibers. I just...

I wouldn't know. Back when I wore green, we had the Pig and Ma Deuce. I liked 'em both. 😁

With this latest shooting in Minneapolis, once again a nut job has taken innocent lives. The Dems will scream gun control, but as we all know, it ain't about guns. Its about mental illness and its become epidemic in our nation. Enough is enough! I just sent e-mails to both my Senators, my...

I believe that most defensive ammo these days is pretty much equal. I try several and go with the one that shoots best in my gun.

Trump was the lesser of two evils. But he's still evil. This is just plumb stupid. 🤬

There's been quite a bit of discussion about these on other forums. Especially the M-14 Forum. The words "Limited Edition" almost always translates to "expensive". No actual price listed yet, but speculation is around $2000+. Most also believe that these were put together by James River Armory...

I am still a member of the NRA and have been for somewhere around 40 years. I haven't completely given up on them. I'm just unhappy with the current state of the organization. As I said, I want the old NRA back. I'm glad they are making changes and I hope things will improve. But the damage and...

I have actually seen this. The limb wasn't that big, maybe 4 feet, but it went through the fan shroud, took out the fan and went on to break the rim on a front tire with no other damage. You run into some interesting things as a mechanic for a city fleet. :rolleyes:

There's no doubt that the NRA has done great things for us in the past. They used to be "THE" gun rights organization. But under WLP they became a greedy, self serving, fear monger that did nothing but beg for money. As I said, WLP may finally be gone, but the corrupt BOD he created is still...

The NRA has it coming. They haven't done squat in years other than waste or steal our money. WLP may be gone, but his cronies are still taking advantage. I genuinely do wish they'd get back in the fight. But, I'm not counting on it. 🤬

If the NRA stays true to form, they'll just add their name to the suit and then sit on their hands while real 2A organizations such as GOA, SAF or FPC actually wage the fight. Of course, they'll be right there to claim victory if they win. :mad:

Holsters are as individual as underwear. What works perfectly for one person can be completely wrong for another. :rolleyes: Take your best guess and hope it works out for you. Most of us have a box full of holsters that didn't work as we hoped.

Chamber flags are required at my gun club. I always use them. Considering some of the stupidity I've seen, I'm glad. There's no such thing as too safe.

It'll never happen and I think that's for the best. While the original Springfield Armory was a great part of American history, I can't even imagine the bureaucratic nightmare that is our current government running an armory. It would be subject to all manner of political whims. Especially in...

Tisas must have something going for them as they have a 1911A1 copy that's being sold by CMP. https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/cmp-tisas-m1911a1-pistol/

Damn! I miss all the fun. 😞

I highly recommend the .45 Colt. All the power you'll ever need for hunting or self defense without all the buck and roar of the big magnums. (y)

I've been shooting revolvers for more than 50 years. Its all about smooth. One smooth continuous trigger stroke from start to finish. Don't stop, don't hesitate and don't try to stage the trigger. Just one smooth pull. My favorite revolver is the S&W Model 18. K-frame, adjustable sights, 4"...

He was one of those actors most people never really paid much attention to. Until he was on the screen where he had your undivided attention.
