a Colt 1911 Goverment model made in 1917, old military piece, with a 22 conversion slide made in the '40's. Bought at a Gun show for $250....... pitted beyond belief ...............shoots like a champ!

Every time I'm out in my Golf cart on my property, my Colt AR15 H-Bar match target is my companion. John

That Smith 617 is a cool piece, my favorite 22 though is the older High Standards, I have a model GB, 1949 , a Supermatic 1956, and a Supermatic Citation military, 1974. The older two I purchased for under $200. at gun shows. They are incredibly accurate, light in weight, and contain amazing...

Open Carry is awesome, and trouble free. Every state should have the right. I use retention holsters for open carry for safety sake. I frequently OC here in VA, without issue, in fact people don't seem to notice or care. I guess, if it's used and practiced people are comfortable with it, no...

I just don't CARE! In summer I open Carry, it's just more comfortable! In Winter, conceal carry because a coat is necessary. I love Virginia because open is the law of the state, and conceal is shall issue with a clean record, it's great, I just throw a gun on and not worry if I'm "CORRECT"...

My vote is Virginia, open carry legal in bars, (no drink) OK, conceal carry in bars OK, (just passed). Conceal carry permits (2 weeks to get). Overall, a gun friendly place. I open carry most times, no permit, no nonsense. I was riding my motorcycle yesterday, gun on hip, no attention, no...

My Smith and Wesson model 410 with factory Crimson Trace does that job nicely. Nothing works nicer than a laser in dim light, 10rd capacity, light and easy to point. The laser itself is enough to send the BGs running!!!!! John

I have one, (Heritage Safe) I like it alot. John

When on vacation a week ago, my cousin brought me to Riverview, Nice shop. I found a 1970's colt Commander Lightweight. They sold it to me for $600. shipped to my FFL in Virginia, nice people. They negotiate when asked. John

I left CT after being a lifelong resident for 49 years! I live now in rural VA, Virginia Rocks! Conceal carry permit in 2 weeks, open carry normal and never questioned. I tried repeatedly in CT to get a carry permit, my local town discouraged them so my paperwork kept getting "lost". I feel...

Just this week purchased a 686-4 2 1/2" barrel, bead blasted satin finish, ported barrel, night sights, and custom trigger work. Gun shoots flawless, I paid $575. How did I do money wise? I just realized how good I did desirable wise, this gun is my first Smith wheel gun, I'm LOVIN IT! It's a...

Great gun! My son carries a M&P 40 as his personal use weapon, shoots better with it than his State Police issued SIG 229. I bought a M&P 40C to replace the original FS M&P we sold to our son. My wife loves her new compact M&P, shoots well with it too! The gun however is too little for my big...

H'mm 1911's unreliable? Check this out, 97 years old, 22cal, started life as a military WWII trainer, $300. Would I trust IT to save my life, YEP! John OF COURSE, WHY BOTHER WITH 22CAL WHEN YOU HAVE 10mm? Here are two of my Deltas, reliable to the end, with lead TCFP's or XTP's, they eat them...

Overall, awesome! I love it here, compared to CT where I'm from. I open carry for convenience, or conceal if I feel a need. Conceal carry permit, a simple process, 2 weeks before I had it in my hand. I'm in Rural west Central VA, where guns are as common as Ford pickups, it's just no big deal...

I'm unaware of a commander framed 10mm. I do own 3 Colt Delta Elites, they are Colt's 1911 in 10mm. I load them hot, I load them mellow, they all shoot nice. The gun is not a 44 mag, it is VERY EASY to shoot accurately. The downside, ammo is hard to find. I have 2500 cases, no problem, I...
