The shot is encased in a plastic cup until after it leaves the barrel. The steel shot never comes in direct contact with the bore. As long as you're using standard pressure loads, I don't see a problem. Them older guns are tougher than you think. ;)

Slightly tipsy, mature women on Saturday night. ;)

What are people gonna put in the bottom of their bird cages?

At those ranges, I'd scoot rather than shoot.

Be aware that those plastic grips, known as Coltwood, have also been known to shrink with age. If you take them off, they may be very difficult to get back on. If they go back at all. :rolleyes: That's a nice find. I have a fondness for older Colts. Congratulations! (y)

The rot runs very deep. It'll be hard to cut it all out and what's left may not be worth having. 🤬

You can get the Tisas 1911A1 from any dealer for less. It just doesn't have the CMP markings. If you just want a G.I. style 1911A1, this is a good way to go.

I hate to tell ya, but Target Sports is the cheap, in house brand for CDNN. Not exactly top shelf stuff.

Looks pretty good. But you can get the real thing from CMP for the same price.

At 71 and partly disabled, I can't run, I can't fight, but I can still shoot pretty good. ;) Cliff nailed it, avoidance is the key. Keep your head on a swivel and pay attention to what's going on around you. Walk away before trouble starts.

I had a S&W pre-12 at one time. Great gun to carry, but they were notorious for cracking the frame where the barrel screwed in. I was afraid to shoot it much. I finally sold it so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Metallurgy has come a long way since the days of the S&W Model 12. The more I...

I'm also doubtful, but give them a call and tell us what they say. I'd like to know.

I remember the Randall very well. When these came out all the gun writers went nuts. It was in every gun magazine for a while. But I've never actually seen one. A rare and expensive collectible these days.

Ok, ya got me! I had to look that one up. But ya had to reach for that one. ;)

I'm familiar with all of these. I've shot a Coonan. I'd love to own a High Standard. And have a Para P-14. You're gonna have to reach to find something I haven't at least heard of. :rolleyes:

That one is mine. Cheap, pot metal Saturday night special. But the darned things are completely reliable and go bang every single time. (y)

You mean one of these?

I remember reading articles on all of them in the old printed gun magazines. I've had hands on with about half. Still own 2 Colt Diamondbacks, a Trooper MK III and four of the Ruger Six series DA revolvers.
