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.

Read One Second After by William R. Forstchen.

Zelensky will never go for any deal that gives up one foot of Ukrainian soil. But Trump seems to think he can trade ground with Putin to end the war. It won't work. The only way this war ends is with a complete withdrawal of Russian forces. That will only happen if every country on Earth cuts...

I'm a child of the 50s, teenager in the 60s and early 70s and believe it or not, I have never smoked marijuana in my entire life. Nope, I was a drunk instead. :rolleyes: Over the years I have known many weed smokers. Many were very good friends. And honestly, none of them have ever gotten as...

Another of my favorite stories. years ago I had a group of Cub Scouts out on a camping trip. Quiet afternoon, I'm chillin' in camp, boys are playing in the woods. Suddenly two of them run into camp yelling "Snake! Snake!" I tell them to show me where. Sure nuff, about a 2.5 ft Timber Rattler was...

Some years ago a worker at the local nature center told me a story about a man who tried to shoo away a curious racoon by waving a broom at it. He ended up sitting in an ambulance being patched up while muttering to himself "it ran right up the broom, it ran right up the broom...." 😁

While I doubt any are killed, many city people learn quickly and painfully NOT to try to feed or pet that racoon that wandered into their yard. I've heard racoons described as a chain saw in a fur coat. They can do a lot of serious damage real fast. :eek: Skunks can be downright hilarious! 😁

Ok, you've made your point. I stand corrected. Government screwed up. Nothing unusual there. But what, if anything, are they gonna do about it?

Memphis also suffers from a DEI Police Chief. C.J. Davis. Not near qualified to run a department as big as Memphis. Got the job solely on being a Black woman. Her mistakes already have the city involved in a major law suit as 5 of her elite Scorpion Unit officers are facing both state and...

My preferred semi-autos are the 1911 and Hi-Power. So that puts me in the SAO camp. However, I also often carry revolvers and shoot them DAO. OTOH, my favorite DA/SA pistols are the older P-200 series all metal Sig Sauers. And I do carry one of those from time to time. I will admit that the...

Is there a second, reliable source for this information? Or are we just supposed to accept this is true because its on the internet?

I have 4 M1As and multiple 1911s. They are my favorite rifle and pistol. 😁

Back when I was shooting IDPA regularly, I used a 1911 Loaded Model. At somewhere around 30-35K rounds, the barrel lug cracked. No questions asked. Springfield sent me a shipping label, repaired the gun and had it back to me in 8 days. It just don't get any better than that. 😁

I bought a used Scout/Squad rifle and discovered that one of the forward optic mount screws was missing. One call, no problem. Similar thing when I bought a used 1911 Ultra compact. Needed the little takedown piece. Again, they sent me two no charge. Springfield has some of the best customer...
