No particular reason. I just never physically removed it from my wallet after it expired.

A few of you have asked what city/state this occurred in. I indicated that it was Houston (Harris county) in the original post. Many have asked if I have considered legal action. Not seriously. I hired an attorney to help me with the speeding ticket that I received and told him about the...

The "DUI checkpoint" thread has prompted me to share a recent experience. Let me preface this by saying that I am not a kid, by any stretch, and I do not have a chip on my shoulder regarding LEO. I am a middle-aged, clean cut professional and I make it a point to treat police officers with...

I've been reading through many archived threads here the last few days trying to determine what the best electronic ear muffs are, but there's not a lot of info as far as I can tell. Is there one product that's far superior to the others? What's the best electronic muff less than $500?

Here's a hard chrome Browning Hi-Power done by Tripp. If you want hard chrome, he appears to be the way to go. http://www.trippresearch.com/index.htm

More "No MIM" 1911's The S&W Performance Center 1911's do not have any MIM parts in them, but the regular line does, according to a S&W rep that I spoke with today.

S&W makes 2 Doug Koenig 1911's. The one that is pictured in the first post in this thread is from the Performance Center line and is the most "premium" gun. It's only available in .38 Super. MSRP is $2,323. Can be purchased for around $1,600...

Not looking for it, but I don't mind it.

I think you're talking about this gun http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_39_72/products_id/15088 which appears to be an older Doug Koenig model...from what I can gather from S&W's website...

So it's safe to say that the SW1911 DK is an excellent value at $1500...

Nice recommendations, guys. Thanks. I didn't realize the Yost-Bonitz gun was in my price range.

Having owned a couple of lower-end 1911's in the past, I've now got the itch to purchase another one that has a few more creature comforts. My budget is around $1500. This gun will strictly be a toy; not a carry gun. i.e. range, target, possibly competition. I'm intrigued by the S&W...
