    Gun Violence Statistics 2024: A Comprehensive Look at the Data

    So all those on here over 50 (I'm 62), think back when we were kids and our dads and uncles all took us hunting, and we were given "the speech" on handling safety with the guns they entrusted to us, and consquences if we didn't follow that. So here are the statistics of school shootings back...

    How Many Magazines Are Too Many?

    I wondered the same question. My wife and son bought me several Wilson Combat mags for Christmas one year plus what I had bought, giving me 10 WC mags for my .45 RO (some 7s and some 8s). That’s more than enough for me I think, because if I can’t stop the threat in my home with 70+ .45 ACP...

    From 14 years Ago and Even More Accurate.... need a laugh? here you go!

    Hey Gang, I know I don't get to post much but I found this video from that crazy comedian Tim Hawkins, and if you are a bit aggravated with our government's ways (ha), here's 3 minutes of vindication. And this was 14 years ago, still dead on today:

    Suggestions Wanted for 1911 Replacement Grips

    Yeah you’ll probably see the Cocobolo logo grips with the cut out on the Springfield armory store next year, lol. 😀 if it helps somebody then great.

    Suggestions Wanted for 1911 Replacement Grips

    So to stir up an older and rather boring thread that I started, I solved the grip issue where my weird thumb couldn't quite hit the mag release since my knuckle is too wide: a 12" rat tail file on the rosewood grip and some fretboard oil to seal it once I was done. Sometimes the answer is right...

    A fresh set of 1911 grips.

    That's really what I'm looking for also... what brand are those?

    Loose Ammo Storage Solutions

    yep, also use the blue boxes… bought a bulk of .45 JHP from Bud’s Gun Shop and they arrived in a plastic bag. Amazon to the rescue.

    Suggestions Wanted for 1911 Replacement Grips

    Given my anatomy I just wonder if the scoop is all I need. I like the size of the stock grips overall, a lot actually. I just threw out the slimmer grip thing because it was all I could think of, not knowing grips like this existed. I live a sheltered life. 😆

    Especially at a buck forty-nine a pair, yikes.

    Suggestions Wanted for 1911 Replacement Grips

    I think before I jump into the big scoop I’m going to just try to imagine what that might be like, maybe I just need the regular scoop. Or I need to suspend my self from the ceiling by my thumbs to try to lengthen them. I look at guys like Hickok45 on his YouTube channel who is 6 foot 8 and has...

    My stubby thumb needs that aggressive thumb cutout... are these VZ Grips?

    Suggestions Wanted for 1911 Replacement Grips

    Wow, the choices! I'll definitely find something here, and I like the idea of that wide thumb slot. The VZ 320 and Operator Slim choices are exactly what I was looking for. Now to try and decide on the color... easy problem! ;)

    Suggestions Wanted for 1911 Replacement Grips

    That probably would have been good info for me to include, lol. I guess I'm not sure, I love the cocobolo look, but I did find these on the SA site: https://store.springfield-armory.com/1911-g10-thinline-grips/ Different look but I like it. So I guess my answer is traditional wood or more...

    Suggestions Wanted for 1911 Replacement Grips

    I do love the look and feel of my 1911 RO Operator, but because I have wide palms and short stubby fingers, I can't quite reach the slide stop or even the mag release button without turning the firearm slightly to reach it. Slightly thinner grips would help, but I'm clueless on what brands...

    New Mexico Governor Suspends Gun Rights

    This is a violation on a Federal level, but also defined in the NM Constitution. Everyone from NM should hammer every government rep to do something about this traitor. She needs to be tried as such. NM is our neighboring state from AZ, but our liberal Governor Katie Hobbs could easily subscribe...

    The Story of the 9mm

    I'm 61, right behind you, and if I was completely honest, I don't shoot a 9mm, even to try, because I would probably like the easier handling, lol. I guess what I get tired of is, I like the classic, and article after article bashes it and I'm tired of having to hear what I like constantly...
