Bought my first 1911 (and first .45ACP firearm) a couple of weeks ago. It’s a new SA parkerized Milspec M1911A1-ish clone. Also got 3 additional SA 7 round GI blued mags, exactly the same as the one that came in the box with the pistol. Today was the first chance I had to go put 200 rounds...

Thanks for sharing. A bout with cancer 3 years ago made me stop, look around, and reevaluate my own priorities. I made some personal changes as a result. Best wishes. 🙂

I’m not knocking anyone who trains with .22, but for me, I prefer to train with the actual firearms that I use for carry and home defense. I’ve had no issues getting ammo over the last year or so. Was it more expensive? Sure. But supply has always been there, and I’m able to absorb the cost. I...

Why the M1A leaning against the workbench? 🤔

Yikes. Could carry an Airsoft too, but wouldn’t recommend it. 😁

I get the ability to train without spending money on more expensive ammo, but I think you also need to be sure you’re training with real world scenarios, including recoil, capacity, possible malfunctions, etc. If you just want to practice drawing from a holster or other non-live fire...

I would buy one immediately, especially if they chambered it in .308 WIN like the M1A. Always wanted an M1 but never wanted to mess with finding M2 ball or other suitable .30-06 ammo.

Nope no weapon mounted light. Have a tactical flashlight in the car and on the night stand at home. I’ve never wanted my trigger finger to have to worry about anything else. Messing with a light switch is just asking for trouble IMO.

Very nice!

I’m not a lawyer (and didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either), but I am optimistic that the SCOTUS may start knocking down these arbitrary laws from states like CA and NY. They have cases on the docket this year that may do just that. There is no statistical or logical rational...

I bought these for a training class and had zero issues then or since. A-ZOOM 9MM Luger SNAP Cap, Orange, 10PK https://www.amazon.com/ZOOM-Luger-SNAP-Orange-10PK/dp/B07MCVZ1T9

In fairness though, that’s probably more because the largest percentage of cops carry Glocks as their duty weapon, and cops handle their loaded weapon more than anyone else. Bottom line…no matter how safe you think you are, you’re human, and humans make mistakes. Personally, I like having a...

I wouldn’t be concerned about the safety of a 1911, more about the capacity and weight. And interesting that some of the same folks who tell us how unsafe carrying a pistol with a manual safety is (because I might freak out and forgot about it, and in the split second that it takes for my thumb...

Mine is in a Vedder Lightdraw.

Congrats on the P365XL. I have both, each with a Holosun 507K. Both great choices.

Could be. Pew Research and NSSF have both put out numbers that show more rifles than shotguns, but not sure how ownership breaks down. I can speak for myself…I own a few modern sporting rifles (not just AR-15s) but have zero need or use for a shotgun. I don’t hunt and wouldn’t use a shotgun for...

I believe the firearm type most owned by Americans is the semi auto modern sporting rifle. There are estimated to be 30 million AR-15s alone in the US, and that could be a low estimate. I don’t think the number of shotguns even reaches 20 million.

In my humble opinion, 9mm is the near perfect combination of capacity, velocity/stopping power, price, availability, and size.

And with it’s descendants. The last 110 years of US Army sidearms.

Just went and picked up my Springfield Defender Mil Spec 1911. Haven’t shot it yet.
