My recent prodution (less then 2 years old) 870P came with a bead sight that was pressed in.

Some of you guys are rough. Poo-poo'ing a gun you've never shot or even seen in person just because it doesn't "look" like what you are use to seeing? Exactly, I think the adjustible comb and raised rib clearly demonstrates that this was designed to be a competition trap gun. Is it a good...

Let me throw one other wrinkle into your decision... Assuming you are going to get a Colt 1911, what do you plan to do with it or how do you plan to use it? I ask because depending on those answers, you may be better of with one of Colt's current WWI repo's instead of the S70 repo? Colt...

Tough question. A Colt 1911 and an S&W .357 are two of the most classic American firearms ever. It would help to know what you already own because if you already have one or more 1911’s and no wheel guns then I’d say get the Smith. If you have other wheel guns but no 1911, then get... well you...

Without a doubt .223 and if you really want it to be fun, shoot it out of an AR-15 pattern rifle with a flatop upper! ;) If I wasn't going to use an AR-15 then my next choice would be a Remington M700 .223 is more then enough for targets (both living and paper) at 200 yards. 223 is one of the...

My Dad was a B-29 tail-gunner and he had a Colt 1911 .45 but I can't say for sure if it was "officially" issued to him or if it was something he picked up on his own? He kept it when the war was over but unfortunately sold it before I was old enough to get my grubby paws on it :(

I think you would first have to define perfect for what purpose? The perfect CCW gun is not going to be the perfect range gun

The "perfect" 9mm? Well I have to admit I love the 9mm round and have owned and\or shot a number or them including... Glock 17, 19, 34, BHP, Sig P226, Beretta 92, SA XD Service, S&W M&P but I have to say, I have not found any of them to be "perfect" but some are clearly better then others. I...

Then you are not paying attention. They are shorter, weight less and balance better. This is not opinion, it's fact. Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree because for a CQB gun, I can't think of any reason why 16" gun is better. Apparently the Military agrees with me :neener:

Roger ;) I understand that point of view and feel the same way. I just feel that a lot of people over-blow the shortcomings (both real and imagined) of the 14.5" barrel. I like to try and make sure that both sides get fairly discussed so that a person can make up their mind with the most...

You do realize that not everybody adds all of that stuff to their AR's right? My 14.5 doesn't have any optics, BUIS, rails, etc. and that is out of choice, not a lack of funding or other reasons. That said some times those items have their place and there are ways to add items like that and not...

You're not really trying to use an example of a hack job to somehow make a point that a 16" barrel is the better choice are you? :rolleyes: Life is full of compromises. Hell many would argue the AR itself is a compromise but if you don't want to compromise, why set the limits at 11.5" and 20"...

How many of you guys bashing the 14.5" barrels have ever actually had and used one? As with anything, your decision should be based off of how you plan to use this rifle. If you are looking for a basic, do-it all type AR then the 16" is probably your best compromise. That does not mean the...

More of a "tag" then anything but I have to say... I disagree. That's one of my favorite T-Shirts! :neener: For me, "Cruiser Ready", mag tube loaded with Hornady "00" buck TAP. Weapon is well concealed but easily accessible (and no, that doesn't mean its under the bed! ;) ).

Hey guys. Need to get a "gun belt" for CCW purposes. The problem is, I refuse to pay $75+ for a belt! I don't care who made it or how nice it is, it's still just a belt and not worth that much $ to me. I also want something plain and basic... 1.5", black, leather, silver buckle. No fancy...
