Some thoughts Both of the museum's are great. Gunshops in the area are good but elevated prices seem to be the norm. Everything tends to be a bit over the price that I'd be comfortable paying. When I go to purchase a firearm, I frequently go down to Austin as there's better pricing...

I have that exact holster, I like it. It seems like the grippy material needs a minute or two to really "grab" the pocket lining, but works as intended. The instructions say to use your thumb to push off the holster during the draw, and that is required. In dry fire practice I came out with a...

Just submitted an order through their mil/leo program, pretty smooth but a bit of a wait compared to off the shelf somewhere else. Hell of a deal though, not sure if they offer the scope you have listed above, but they have some others in the price range in their program.

9mmepiphany: I've read the 1911 article, but the other two were new to me and much appreciated. Helped expand my understanding a good deal, thank you. Jackpine: I own a 9mm P250, and now two .45s (the Kimber and a PT145). I prefer the .45, but the cost per round is beginning to pain my soul...

Long time reader, first time thread-er. While spending some quality "learning" time in Arizona, got the hankering to see what all this 1911 fuss was about. Ultimately, my buddy steered me towards the Kimber Crimson Carry line of pistols and somehow a Ultra Crimson Carry ended up on my...

Entered Active Duty in 2004, and Port Arms/Muzzle up and down range at all times was fairly strictly enforced. Starting in about 2006 and on, practice changed to muzzle down. I got the feeling at the time that no one really understood why, but that it came down from on high (TRADOC flavor)...

I've had fairly good luck with the pistol. I have a 9mm set up on mine and no issues. The trigger is long, as has been commented, but with a bit of work on speed and getting muscle memory working to your advantage, I don't think the trigger is a problem at all. I'm also a complete pistol...

There are a number of establishments all though the area. Haven't found any that I'd consider fine, but I also haven't seen all of them. The shop where I bought my rifle recommended, strongly, a place called "Pinetucky" (sic). Haven't been there yet, but the gentleman was very fond of it...

"Oddly enough, whenever I see an M16 raised to a soldier's shoulder in a photo these days, he or she always has the very bottom of the stock touching only the top of the shoulder, as if the gun would just be too low if it were shouldered the usual way. Indicating I've seen an anomalous...
