The price you gotta pay

Well, I changed companies and upgraded my policy. My 'peace of mind' now costs me about the price of a 45cal round daily, but it's worth it, not to be burdened with a load of fear.

I agree all insurance is based on fear. I carried for years before I realized it'd probably bankrupt me if I ever needed to use lethal force. I pay about the cost of a single 9mm round every day for that peace of mind.

I believe that's the same gun and caliber that the original James Bond carried.

I lived in a big-truck for 10 years. I also saw a different world outside of the Bible belt. I'm grateful to be in the north Alabama area.

If I'm not carrying a 1911, it's only a substitute. Some plastic guns would make a good backup for the 1911.

The only good thing I can say about RIA, is they made me proficient in clearing malfunctions in a 1911.

I try to stay proficient and use small targets at a good distance. BUT... Remember the objective is to "Stop the Threat", not to kill anyone. If I were to make a head shot, unless it was unavoidable, I hope I'd be able to convince the DA that my target was lower. I recently renewed a...

Those plastic 9mm's are made for popping caps. The 1911 was made to put a bullet on target. One extra mag should be plenty. When the threat is elevated, i do like to have another 2 mags handy.

I was glad when I found a sa-35. I hope it's later than the ejecter problem. I refinished mine, it wasn't meant for a holster. The better finish is a needed upgrade.

I love JMB. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably be carrying plastic. (I hope to catch him on the other side of eternity.)

The 10-22 was the first rifle that I bought. It has always been my favorite. And after many thousands of rounds and 40 years later, it's still a target gun.

I've got the Bersa clone and I'm comfortable to carry it, but I doubt it was made to last like the PPK.

I've got a couple of R1 1911s, from NY and Huntsville. They needed minor tweeking on the break-in, but they are a primary carry now.

I've got a Taurus Gudge that's prone to jam, it's sensitive to ammo.

I was glad to watch it. I think it was more of a pep rally than a parade. We need to fly a parade to Iran soon.

Hey, 'you talking to me? I'm not into the 10, but I stocked up on the Hipoints before the Cannon era. Erebody needs a Hipoint or two.

My Henry came with the Skinner's and I didn't like it. I was looking for replacement sights for a while, I finally got used to the peep sight. I think it's a keeper now.

I'm a small guy, I'm most comfortable carrying the 1911. I'm grateful to have a rotation to match the threat, and my shoes. Though the 1911 is heavy, it still sets the standard for perfection to those who want to put a bullet on target. The many that I see that prefer a lighter, more compact...

Taurus should be banned from making simi-auto firearms, especially the 1911. I feel sorry for anyone that's betting their life on one.
