    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    I was leaning toward the Wilson metal strip but see there are mixed reviews and when I found they were aluminum and not stainless I am thinking it's not for me. That leaves Grip tape. What are your preferences in regard to the tape? I only have the one 1911 and don't need a large roll. Are...

    Refinishing alloys?

    Plating would get expensive. A good cheap answer would be BBQ Grill paint as it or another hi temp paint would hold up pretty well. Flat Black would be a good choice and a spray can would not cost much.

    Refinishing alloys?

    Likely Zamak which is a zinc, Copper, Magnesium and Aluminum. Paint / cerakote if your best option.

    I Must Be the Only One

    I never had an urge to get an AR; My tastes ran more to super accurate long range varmint rifles. The last one I has was a superb Remington 40XB-BR in cal .22 BR. Canjar LP trigger set to 4 ounces and a Leupold scope boosted to 24x by Wally Seibert. That thing was wickedly accurate and was a...

    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    Thank you for the info; I saw that. I am a little on the cheap side and if I wait until I am making an order to Wilson anyway it'll only cost $10. I am in no hurry at all so why spend an extra $6?

    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    I am planning on trying one; I'm just waiting until I either place another order with Wilson, I get to a gunshow where someone has them or or a stainless one comes up for sale cheap. I am in no hurry. I would rather try one of these before going the checkering route as it's reversible. I just...

    5.7 PITA!

    My Brother-in-Law has an FN that works perfectly; I'm sure S&W could sort it out for you. Call them and they'll probably send a return label.

    The Pink Panther

    Being There was strange and different. Strangelove was great; Sellers played what; three roles in it, the President, the ex Nazi bureaucrat in the wheelchair and the British officer. I liked Slim Pickens and Major Kong the best though

    Magazine release lock

    A couple of questions again; this time about the magazine release lock. one; On my Ronin ( an early Ronin Operator 5" ) the release lock is blued. On most photos I see they are stainless. Does this mean mine was changed in it's past or does it just reflect what was in the parts bin when it...

    buying ammo online, i gotta prove..........

    I am in Illinois; on-line sellers must have a Copy of a current Illinois FOID and some want a DL as well. Address on the ID MUST match the shipping address. They won't ship to Chicago / Cook County. To buy in the local gun shop they need to run the FOID to verify is is still valid and has not...

    An EDC for Every Season: The Ronin 4.25" 9mm 1911

    With an IWB holster and a big maybe a horizontal Shoulder holster 3/4" off the muzzle might make a difference but I am not sure just how much. For OWB carry give me the 5" and the little bit of extra velocity. In a smaller 1911 for concealed carry and Officers model that is more compact at...

    B-52 Stratofortress — The BUFF Strategic Bomber

    You are correct of course. My point, though badly made, is that the B-52 just keeps chugging along doing it's thing very very well. I like how it's long thin wings flap while flying and there is a computerized system to dampen it.

    B-52 Stratofortress — The BUFF Strategic Bomber

    I love the old B-52. Here is a plane from, Well, 1952, that just keeps going. No matter how many times the Air Force tries to field a replacement, XB-70, B-36, B-57, B-58, B1A & B, B-2 nothing comes close. They just keep re-winging and re-building the old BUFF's

    When is it time to stop buying

    I'm 71 and while I gave some away to my daughter and Son-in-law I have not stopped looking. In fact I just bought my Ronin 9mm in September.
