I know that Clint was in the Army during Korea, so maybe that's why he had his finger outside the trigger guard. I was watching BOB on Spike the first night it was on. I have the series on VHS but my sister in law borrowed it and hasn't returned it yet. After I watched the whole thing in one...

I carry everywhere I go. Orlando is one big hood now and the crime is rampant. Firearm involved crimes happen, even in the upper class sections, by the lower class that wanders in. I work as a Corrections Officer in the county jail here and get the weekly death threats by the teenaged/early...

I haven't seen any around here in Central Florida. I wouldn't respect it anyway. Even off duty, I'm allowed to carry and will continue to do so. With my luck, the day I take it off to go in somewhere, some scumbag crackhead will enter my life.

Welcome to the 1911 world, great looking pistol and darned fine shooting doc. $445 on Gunbroker huh? I might have to check that out. Texas Colt is right, one ain't gonna be enough. There's a lot of different gun designs out there, but you were right in your original post too; there's just...

If Canada is so friggin' great, why are many of them coming down here? It's nota guns out there that are killing people and causing crime, it's the low life scum, the "poor oppressed minorities" that are doing it. Obamanation wants to outlaw guns and have a National No Carry law. Alcohol and...

I mean to put in, we have no kids and no one has keys to the house but us.

It's only my wife and I in the house. If my sister in law, or my wife's out of town friend is spending the night, of course I would ID first. But I would believe that OPD would be banging on the door prior to entering. I'm a light sleeper and if I didn't hear the door opening, but glass...

They are an excellent weapon and $100 off sure helps, because they're expensive weapons. I'm a fan of Glocks too. Fired an XD once and it just didn't suit me. 1911's is what I grew up shooting and that old Marine .45 of mine is my primary CC and HD weapon. Uncle Tim carried it in 'Nam and it...

At present time, a mortar is a man portable weapon and is used by Infantry troops. Artillery is either towed by vehicles or is Self-Propelled. Artillery used by the U.S. is 105mm(towed),155mm(Self-propelled) or a MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System). A mortar is 81mm if I remember correctly...

Are you looking for a bolt gun or semi-auto? I plan on passing my Garand down to my nephew when the Ultimate 1st Sgt, calls the final formation. It was passed to me by my granddad and he carried it in Korea. It's been around for 60 years and still puts in a 2" group and 200 yds.

Night sights are good to have, if they aren't too bright. I don't have any on my old Marine Corps 1911. Never needed them. Have trained with a flashlight in low light/no light situations for my LE job and even though we used them for brief instances, night vision was shot anyway. In HD, if...

I love my Garand, because it's a part of history and it served in the Korean conflict. It is a wonder of engineering genius, created over 70 years ago and still performs better than any M-16 I was ever issued. The same with my 1911. The pistol served in Vietnam and is still punching holes in...

Some old timers from WWII days were telling me that if you shaved a bit from either the forward stock or upper handguard, you would continue to shoot on target as the barrel got hot and expanded. Was just curious.

Do you ever see anyone suing an auto manufacturer because of auto accidents? Or do they sue Budweiser, Corona or any alcohol manufacturer for DUI deaths? No, they go after the gun manufacturers. In something like this if I was a gun maker, I'd fight it out in court instead of settling, just...

Lasers seem to be the rage these days, along with mounted flashlights. These give away your position to the BG and give him an aiming point. Use the irons, trijicon or just the age old point and shoot. I have night lights plugged in in every room, so I don't need a flashlight and gives good...
