    Sig 220 stamped slide with railed frame?

    I tried searching but couldn't find the answer so excuse my ignorance here. I just picked up a used Sig P220 to right a wrong (I sold mine to a friend 20 years ago....) It has a stamped slide with Made in Germany on the right and Exeter on the left, the serial number on the frame is G 346 xxx...

    Modifying Cheap Ammo

    If the ammo is 1/4 of the price of the fancier SD rounds than you can afford to shoot the BG 4 times for the same money. I'll take 4, well placed American Eagle FMJs anyday.:)

    Weak hand epiphany

    I went to the range last night and shot all 4 guns I had with me both two handed righty (my normal setup) and one-handed with each hand. The groups I was able to shoot one-handed lefty were astounding good (and much better than my one-hand righty groups). Even with a short-barreled .38...

    user names?

    I originally joined after escaping Massachusetts to the friendly hills of NH. I have since had to move back to the People's Republic of Mass. Maybe I should have it changed it to just Flatlander

    Para Ordn or CZ 75B?

    +1 for rbernie's explanation. If you want a double-stack .45 as a shooter go for the Para. If you are counting on it for defense you can't go wrong with a CZ.

    Post pics of your most fun gun

    I have always thought the Commander size was the perfect 1911 format and this DW Guardian Deuce is the most accurate out-of-the-box gun I have ever owned: 2nd pace goes to this original Beretta 92S that I picked up recently. I don't why, but it is just a dream to shoot and also very accurate.

    Any "non-standard" operating procedure firearms?

    I have shot both break-open and semi-auto trap guns with release triggers. Traditional break-open guns with a thumb-lever are just as described, keep the trigger pulled and thumb the action open. There are also trap guns where the latch is in front of the trigger guard (Ljutic) that get...

    Help me with this meat

    Go to the butcher and buy some good beef fat trimmings and grind them up with the meat. If you still don't like the taste in hamburger form make it into chili.

    Anybody finding hard to find .45acp?

    There is still a lot of panic buying going on. Dick's had a sale here last week on the UMC stuff and sold out the first day. Basspro has ben hit or miss and the cheaper stuff seems to go fast (at least in 9mm and .45). The shop I requent the most just got restocked and seems to have a good...

    Have you ever given up on a gun friend?

    I have a friend who has never sold a gun in 20 years, but hasn't shot any of them in the last 10 years either. Including a Sig 220 that I sold to him. The last time I got him to open the safe there was a touch of rust on the Sig that I pointed out to him and told him how to get rid off. He...

    Who else has downsized

    Previously it was either a full-sized 8+1 .45 or a J-frame .38 so I compromised more than downsized to a compact 9mm. The Kershaw Leek hasn't changed.

    Quality or Quantity

    I like to get as much as I can for my money but I would rather buy a quality used gun than a NIB cheap gun.

    Ruger KP345 won't load last round

    I contacted Ruger and they suggested that I call for a shipping tag and send it in for service.

    At my bedside?

    Surefire 6p, with my carry gun in it's holster on the bedside table under a towel (currently a Beretta 9000s). If my daughter is here (shared custody) I'll either have the keys to the gun locker in the closet next to the light or the carry gun with a trigger lock in a box under the bed. I...
