    Calling all of you who carry a 1911.

    DW CCO w/ Theis Holster. Not Grand-daddy's GI model. Light, pleasant to shoot and a lovely bit of gun making. So much truth in such a simple phrase.

    Charter Arms?

    I have a late 80's Undercover. Aesthetically it's nothing to write home about. Functionally it's been 100%. The action is reasonably smooth and the trigger is decent. I prefer it to a newer Taurus that I picked up a approx 3 years ago. I wouldn't mind a Bulldog at some point. I will admit...

    Current MBC wait time?

    They put out an update on facebook yesterday: They have been pretty quiet recently. It's good to see them getting caught up.

    Considering a 6" 10mm Auto-Loader. Thoughts?

    FWIW, I have a Witness Elite Match in .45 acp. It's a nice shooting pistol that was a screaming bargain considering how accurate it is. On a somewhat less wonderful note, EAA has developed a reputation for crappy customer service. Every now & then I hear rumbling that they are better, but...

    Considering a 6" 10mm Auto-Loader. Thoughts?

    While by no means conclusive, I'm unaware of any long slide 10 mms that make your price range. This looks pretty awesome though: http://www.stiguns.com/the-sti-perfect-10/ Nighthawk supposedly makes one too. I suspect the STI will seem a bargain in comparison. 5" models will be a much...

    Reloading Book

    It sounds stupid, but yeah, a split case will generate a sour note compared to the surrounding good ones.

    Anyone purchased a gun because you read about it from an online forum?

    Ditto on the CZ75B. Easily overlooked if you don't know better. Without seeking opinions online, I would have never given it much thought.

    Special Taxes only on Guns and Ammunition

    Taxes should only be to generate needed govt revenue. Creating a new tax as behavior control is inherently unfair. I disagree w/ beer & liquor taxes as well as any other tax that is above and beyond the norm for any other "good" product. I bet it's not a hardship when it's time to cash dem...

    Is the USA a mini Somalia?

    Interesting. Like Somalia you say? There is a UK phenomenon that I'm curious about. Is it mandatory for young british hooligans to steal and burn a car at any particular interval? No, they can't just steal it and strip it. No, they have to burn it too. How'd all those riots work out in...

    Anybody Hate New Guns?

    I only hate paying for them. Aside from that, I'm good.

    Legitimate fear of guns?

    Nothing legitimate about it. Does she have a fear of other potentially lethal objects? Cars, knives, beer bottles, etc. It's a symptom of a much larger problem.

    Ammo going off on its own...?

    Heat/fire. Yes. Gross/negligent mishandling. Perhaps. Intentional stupidity involving repeated impacts around the primer? Probably. Karma/fate/Murphy enjoys this type of scenario. Direct hit with a lightning strike? Can't rule it out entirely ;) Sitting in a box being left alone? No.

    Pretty good EAA/Witness customer service

    I have occasionally heard stories that EAA was beginning to turn that portion of their business around in a positive way. Good to hear. I hope it continues.

    Top shot season 4 - Gabby Franco

    Welcome aboard. It's nice that you are willing to give us a direct line into the inner workings of the show. As I understand it, you folks are all bound by a nondisclosure agreement until the ending is resolved (to the general public), but any insights will be welcome.

    Need Ammunition Education

    .38 Special bullet diameter: .357 .38 S&W bullet diameter: .361 If by some twist of fate they do fit, don't fire it. Nothing good can come of it. It PROBABLY won't damage anything. Which then leaves the possibility of sticking a bullet in the barrel.
