If the two are at the same price point, I don't think you could go wrong with either. That being said, it's been pretty consistent in my area that the S&W 1911 runs about $200-$300 more than the Sig. For that reason, I bought a Sig 1911 XO model, and never looked back. The gun has been...

Looks good! I can't say I'm not jealous. A 30-06 bolt action is next on my list of purchases, with the 700 close to the top! Enjoy your new "grandchild"!

For now. My AR has gone through quite a few change lately, and I think I'm finally at the point where all major purchases have been made, and it's exactly how I want it. I saw a previous thread where someone did something similar, so if you'll indulge me, I'd like to do the same. Descriptions...

Unfortunately, the CM9 is not MA-compliant. Despite the fact that it is essentially the same gun as the PM9, our Attny General has a specific list of guns that are available for sale, and the CM9 doesn't qualify. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting on the Shield to arrive. It's been quite some...

I've disassembled and cleaned them several times, it just feels as though the spring has lost tension over time. The follower doesn't seem to have the resistance that it used to, and it's a rainy day here, so I was looking for a mini-project.

My 10/22 magazines are starting to show their age, and I was wondering if tightening the octagonal hex screw an extra notch or two would result in feeding issues. I believe the standard amount of corners to rotate "through" is 8. Has anyone tried this and experienced any negative effects?

I have a Sig 1911 XO, and it has been reliable with everything that I've fed it. Only twice has the slide failed to lock back after the last round, and I attribute that to the magazines (same mag, and not since I moved to the Kimber TacPro flush fitting magazines). I typically feed it WWB, but...

+1 for Simmons. I have a silver 22 Mag 3x9-40 to match the Butler Creek stock and silver barrel, and it shoots perfectly. I also got Redfield scope rings with a see-through sight so I can still use the irons if need be. I dialed the scope in for 75 yards, and the irons hold at ~40, so I can...

Thanks for all the replies! It seems like a pretty divided crowd, which is a good thing, since it seems like I can't go wrong with either. I'm now leaning more towards the Shield, the price is really tipping the battle in its favor. Since I'm waiting on both of them to come in, I've got a little...

Thanks for the photo comparison of your firearms! Both of them look great! I don't worry about the lack of a safety on the Kahr. Massachusetts wouldn't be doing its job if it wasn't protecting me from myself at every opportunity. MA-Compliant models not only have a safety and a loaded chamber...

The Shield is definitely a better deal, and I feel myself now leaning in that direction. Since I can't do anything but wait at this point, I'll just continue to scrounge 9mm ammo where I can, and hope that the wait time isn't too extensive. Thanks to all for the input, and I welcome any other...

Yeah, the People's Republic of MA is one giant letdown when it comes to intelligent legislation. You would think that a state of such historical importance to our early history, where we threw off the shackles of tyrannical government, would be a little more conducive to Constitutionally...

Forgot to add - already put an order in for the Shield as well, with no commitment to buy. They'll call me when it comes in, and if I don't want it, the next LEO gets it.

So I'm having trouble choosing between 2 pistols for a variety of reasons. I recently put in an order for a Kahr PM9 at the LGS, and was told that 5 were on order, and I would get a phone call when they were received. I like the Kahr for a variety of reasons, first and foremost being how easy...

Believe it or not, yes. Bought a box today when I did the transaction. They had a one box limit, but there were about 12 boxes there (and fairly reasonably priced at $15). 357 Sig was a rare find before, and now it's akin to seeing a white buffalo. And yes, shipping restrictions to MA pretty...
