    would you buy a PT1911

    Yes, I'd buy it. I own one. I've put 500 rounds through it without a problem. I haven't had to use Taurus customer service but I tend to just take all my guns to a gunsmith that I trust. He is very good at customer service.

    Would you buy a Hi-Point?

    " No, there is more to selecting a gun than price, reliability, and warranty." Oh my God, did I read that correctly? I want to visit his home with my totally reliable gun and take all of his. Even the unreliable ones. If it's unreliable, it's not a gun. It's a doorstop! Ron

    Revolver in .45ACP?

    45 acp revolver Yes, I want to buy one. If for no other reason, I have a good amount of 45acp ammo. What I hadn't planned for was the cost of the revolver being as much or greater than that of my 1911! Someday I'll find the right pistol at the right price. In my neck of the woods, there's just...

    Blazer ammo in Taurus .38 special hammerless

    Blazer ammo I agree. The aluminum case ammo is cheap for a reason. I, too, have opened several boxes, seen the condition of "fresh" ammo and given it away. I had occasional misfires with mine when I did use it. I don't anymore. :barf: Ron

    .40sw vs. .45acp question

    Federal Premium Ballistics Site 94GT, that's a good site. You're right, it's not all inclusive, but it certainly answers many of the main question s we see over and over again. :) Thank Ron Cole

    Not in his right mind

    My father is left handed. He's always had to shoot right handed guns with the empty casing flying across his field of sight, etc. Does any manufacturer make a left handed. semi-auto pistol? It doesn't have to be brand new, although that would be wonderful. He's shot all his life and I'd like for...

    Is a Bersa Thunder .380 the best centerfire auto pistol I can buy for under $300?

    Ditto to M2Carbine. I've got both and they're both excellent. Bersa is better and easier to hold. The Makarov is stone cold reliable with JHP's, Ball ammo, or semi-wadcutters. Either way, you're good to go. Ron Cole When asked by a reporter why he is the only gangster who carries a .45...

    Kel-Tec vs. Bersa

    Kel Tec or Bersa Bersa hands down. I have very small hands and the Kel Tec is still too small. The Bersa is ergonomically correct and I agree with the above post that said the Bersa is better than a Walther PPK. I admire the Kel Tec for it's size, but not for the grip, the sights, or the...

    Anyone heard of High Point (9mm compact pistols)???

    High Point It continues to amaze me that people say "I've heard they are bad." If you haven't shot one, you have no basis to be bad mouthing the gun. I agree that they are ugly, they are not ergonomically correct, they are made out of what looks like pot metal. But they do shoot. Go back and...

    Sell SIG P220 for Ruger P97?

    I have a P97 and it may very well shoot better because of the weight of the pistol. I'm not a great shot, but I can hit what I aim at with the Ruger. And you are right, I have a "few" Maks and the recoil of the 9X18 is sharper than that of the Ruger 45acp. Would I sell the Sig. YES! You buy...

    What Caliber for Barney?

    Barney the DIEnosaur? Boy, did I need this topic today. :) How would I kill the purple dinosaur? I'd empty my Civil War cannon into him. What ammo? GRAPE SHOT :D :o

    Why are 185 series Mini-14s selling for more than 580 series!?!

    Mini 185 series vs. 580 series Probably because the 180 series are 1/2 of what you pay for a 580 series. Yeah, they're not accurate. Yeah, they heat up easily. But if I'm 50feet away, I can still hit something with it. And even if I can't hit it after the first shot, I can throw it that far...
