    Budget 1911?

    Another for RIA. I've got the GI MS love the gun to death. About 500 rounds down the pipe before I screwed up and put the reverse plug in wrong, Armscor Precision fixed it for me and I pick up the slide (no frame damage) tomorrow. I gave a premium for the gun because there were almost 0 in the...

    Are gasoline prices affecting your shooting?

    Oh yeah, I've cut back on shooting a lot in the last 2 years. When I bought my F150 it was $50 twice a week now it's $80 twice a week. Just bought a little VW Jetta to ease the pain. The Jetta won't make it to my range.

    Who makes the best budget 1911?

    I love my RIA 4". Gave just under $500 OTD local with overnight shipping because I'm impatient. The ATI's seem to have the same quality from what I've seen of them.

    Rock Island/Armscor ...educate me.. decent?

    I love my RIA 4". If you're after the weight savings of Aluminum go Taurus, if not the bells and whistles can be had on the RIA's for the same money and Armscor has better CS then Taurus from what I hear. As for the Nickle and 2 tones not being imported that is odd as 2 months ago when I...

    Why did they buy the gun at all?

    Some guns don't need firing every time you go out. I have a Rem.7500 (30-06) that hasn't had 5 rounds through it in the 10 years I've had it. I've got two Rem. 750's I've put 50 rounds total through them in the last 10 years (I put 2 scopes on one, and used it hunting once before swapping to the...

    Is this technically a straw purchase or a felony?

    I fail to see the problem here... -You must be 18 in order to purchase a rifle/shotgun. -You can hunt (in VA) starting at age 12 (IIRC, or that may be when your first required to get a license) That means you're borrowing a weapon from someone for 6 years. When I was a youth the internet...

    gun belt question

    I just ordered 2 of the Amish Belts from Hanks (one for me, one for Dad). Even if they aren't 100% the best holster belts in the world for the price of a belt at Walmart or TSC it looks to be worth a try. Will post a review when it comes in.

    Ruger 1911 Photo leaked ad for shooting times

    It'll have to be priced around the Taurus1911 and Remington R-1 price point before I even roll it over to look at the warning billboard they put on the otherside.

    1911 platform. I need help

    I just started carrying a RIA 4" and my friend carries an ATI 3.5". Both are reasonably priced around $500 (after taxes and all). For about $1000 a Colt New Agent would be my choice.

    Gun Price Sensitivity - Very Primal

    Uh... I haggle over everything. My Mini-fridge at work was half price, the laptop I'm writing this post on was 25% off, my truck was valued at 12k I gave 9,500 for it, and I can go on. I'm going to try to get you to knock the price of the gun down, and I expect you to try to do the same. I'm...

    $51,000 glock?

    Undercover NCIS agents needed localized weapons for an operation, I'll bite. $51k for a Glock, no thanks though. I'd rather have a 1909/1910 from the US Military trials.
