Too old and decrepit. I ain't going nowhere. :rolleyes: They may get me, but my body will be laying in a pile of brass. ;)

Did anybody else notice that when the Judge is talking about magazines he said "you can replace the STANDARD magazine with one that holds fewer rounds" At the 3:40 mark Even he acknowledges that hi-cap mags are the STANDARD. 🤬

Wayne M: no need to worry. Just another day in the asylum. ;)

Its possible that the scope mount screw is a tad bit too long and interfering with the bolt. The hole for that screw is located right through the bolt rail in the receiver. Could be that the upward pressure from a loaded magazine is just enough to cause it to hang up.

I spent two years at Ft. Hood in central Texas in 1972-74. It was a great place. I always thought that if I ever left Tennessee, I'd go to Texas. But looking at Texas now, I don't recognize it anymore. Sad indeed. 😞

I have that exact same model. I like it a lot. But I'm a long time Hi-Power fan anyway. Trigger is a little heavy, but I can live with it. So far its been completely reliable and acceptably accurate. The alloy frame makes a big difference in how it carries. The only thing I don't like is...

I have one. Stumbled across it several years ago LNIB. Great gun, but these days worth too much to carry. I also have a Girsan MCP-35 PI LW which is basically the same gun in a lightweight. I will carry that one. BUT I STILL WANNA 4" SA-35 IN A LIGHTWEIGHT! YA HEAR ME SPRINGFIELD! :unsure:

I love my SA-35. To me its the Hi-Power perfected. All the most desirable upgrades straight from the factory. (y) SA really hit a home run on their design for the safety lever. This old 1911 guy feels right at home with it. :love: I really want one of the new 4" guns. But I'm gonna hold off for...

One more question. At what range should I zero it. 15 or 25 yards?

Thanks for all the input. I just ordered an Osight Model K green dot. It seems to have all the desirable features and the price is reasonable. I'll get it next week. But Its seriously hot here. Not sure when I'll get to the range. Meanwhile, I'll have time to practice presentation and get used...

For carry or competition I only use the Wilson 8 rounders for .45acp. They're the most reliable mags I've found. (y) But they are kinda pricey. I have a bunch of cheaper mags for range use. Got a bunch of Ed Browns on their magazine trade in program. You send them your junk and they sell you...

This is part of my problem. The rear sight is part of the cover plate and is not adjustable. Ordinarily, a minor adjustment to the rear sight puts me right on target. I can't do that on this gun. That's why I'm even considering a dot.

I know absolutely nothing about red dot optics on handguns. I've always been a keep it simple kinda guy. I figure that if I have to use my gun, it'll likely be at close range and I'll probably be point shooting anyway. However, I have this Girsan MCP35 LW PI that I really like. Basically its...

Sight alignment and trigger control. How to properly hold the rifle and a good solid shooting position. Reactive targets, such as spinners, give immediate feedback and encourage good habits.

All neat and well organized. Never happen at my house. :rolleyes:

Those pilots knew what they were doing and those people loved it! :love: Sec/Nav has already said nothing will happen to them. (y) The liberal media would faint if a paper airplane passed by them. :rolleyes:

The more I think about it, the dumber this idea sounds. Get outta Dodge? Check. Survive 24 hours? Check. Is there anything in this FEAR bag that I absolutely need? Nope! I think this is just the writer fear mongering and trying to sell more useless "Survival" crap. But I'm sure he got paid for...

IDK, maybe this is being a bit too paranoid. If the goal is to survive for 24 hours, I can get by on just what's in my pockets. Having that other stuff might be nice, but I can do without it. Besides, if the situation is that dire, will you even think to grab the FEAR bag? Or will instinct take...

"Take your time in a hurry." Wyatt Earp.

I've said for years, always carry a pocket knife and a lighter. With the most basic of tools and a means of making fire, a smart man can survive just about anything. While the FEAR bag is an interesting concept, for me the operative word is RUN. At my age and condition, that ain't happening. I...
