Any idea what makes it different from a regular 1911 in .45 acp? I’ve shot plenty of super from a 1911 with a 28# recoil spring and an extra power main spring and a flat bottom firing pin stop.

From SA’s website you’ll have $600 dollars in a 4.0 barrel, slide and recoil spring with three 15 round flush fit mags. Plus the compact grip module. And you’ll still have to dick around changing your COG back and forth between guns. If you look around you can probably find the gear pac for...

If you can find the 4.0 with a gear up package(extra mags included) you’re probably money ahead to just buy another pistol.

I bought my 616 Grasshopper in 1995. It has almost 1500hrs on it and other than seal kits in the engine and hydros which I did myself it’s still going strong.

Yes. It wasn’t so bad shooting at an actual bird, but those damn paper pattern targets were the worst. 2 1/4 oz of #6 lead is quite a load.

Ok, I’ll go first. This is from my local clubs April action match. Excuse the hi vis shirt, I was on call and had just gotten off work. Like Pieter said you can see through the walls and I got to walk the course first so it’s nothing like an actual street fight…I KNOW THAT… But it’s still...

WE UNDERSTAND THAT! Give it a rest already.

So you claim to be/were LE. Where was it that you worked? Position? How many years? Just curious.

This one sentence is all that would have been needed to counter the o.p.’s argument. Well said.

The stress induced by the timer is the closest thing most people will have to compare to that of being shot at. In reality we know it’s no comparison. One is life and death, the other is merely a score. But to consider shooting competitions, “gun games” as you pompously say, have no benefit...

No way in heck I’d spend $405 for a barrel.

A friend wanted me to clean and test fire his old 16 gauge shotgun that he had inherited. He said he didn’t have any ammo for it so I picked up a box of 16ga target loads to have on hand. When he finally brought me the gun it was a 20ga. I still have that box of 16ga shells from probably 15...

A good friend has been a gunsmith and machinist for over fifty years. He also does stock refinishing and hot dip blueing. This has brought him many guns over the years that went through house fires. In all his experience he has seldom seen a safe of any level of quality give enough protection...

Nope. The wife doesn’t get nosy about what’s in my safe and I don’t go poking around in her closet.

I’m hoping this technology works. Will be a game changer for us farsighted folks. This is a screenshot of AI’s explanation of these new eyedrops for close vision. https://www.nvisioncenters.com/farsightedness/vuity-eye-drops/

I would often look for them while turkey hunting. They were just as fun to find as a turkey plus they tasted better.

Wish it had an optics cut and didn’t look like it was dipped butterscotch pudding.

Hmm. Must be relative. I love mine. Best carry guns I’ve ever toted. Very accurate, 100% reliable, small but high capacity for size, optics ready, good sights.

I think he’s talking about the one he married.😂
