    Baller?

    They used the real name for all firearms. Including several well known and large companies. They probably decided to do away with all real names even if the company went down.

    Baller?

    The pistols that agent 47 uses are AMT Hardballers. With that name it should be obvious where baller comes from. Because IO Interactive presumable didn't want to pay to use the name for the weapons they changed the name in the second game to Ballers in the second game and Silverballers in the...

    1911 Antiquated...

    Funny how both sides go on and on about what soldiers might or might not want and yet nobody comes up with interviews or official documents. Right now this is a very nice thread full of hearsay and personal preference projected upon a very large group of individuals.

    Polymers used in modern guns

    Not all polymers are created equal. There is a huge difference between simple PVC and a chunk of PTFE. Get into co-polymers and you are looking at even more diversity. Without knowing the exact recipe used for the creation of the polymer guns it is going to be virtually impossible to say...

    Why can't I hit the broad side of a barn!?!?

    If you don't have a lot of experience in shooting handguns and you find that you have trouble with this particular handgun why not invest some money in professional training? Go to a local handgun course and have a professional look at what you are doing. Another set of eyes can see things that...

    Anybody Shoot for Pleasure & Accuracy?

    It's the same where I live. Shooting at a certified range is the only possibility. So most of the time I shoot bullseye for fun. Most of those aren't even available where I live, or it takes a long time to drive to a club that does. Even then I can't count on regular practice with those...

    Are you sick of accessory rails?

    There are hundreds of completely functional and reliable weapons out there. Past a certain point aesthetics certainly do come into play for each owner. You can't just dismiss the preference of people.

    Long barrel 1911ish pistols?

    That's something I've been looking into myself. I can't seem to find anybody that makes a 7" long slide. Perhaps someone can point us to a custom smith that makes a 7".

    Proper Sight Picture With Handguns

    I have to wear glasses. Since I started shooting I've been trying to focus on the front sight. This resulted in seeing the front sight clearly, but not seeing the bull or the rear sight all that clear. That made aiming pretty difficult and my shots landed all over the target. My instructor...
