So, living in one of these stay-at-home lockdown states is driving me crazy - all the indoor ranges are closed for ... months!!! I'm in the...
Jumping on the Dan Wesson Bandwagon as well. The DWA2 is a basic 1911A2 (augmented with Novak sights), but is a great pistol. I have not seen it...
I had one ORM in stainless - my first Colt 1911. That delicate frosted stainless that marred or scratched even with a toothpick. It was a...
In my opinion - and experience - most "mil-spec" 1911s will be reliable. The one's I have worked with are Colts, Springfields, Dan Wessons,...
I've got a few AR lowers to build, plus two 1911s I've been meaning to tune up. Reorganize the gun room, inventory ... Reloading, if I get the...
life's too short to go around hating things. If it doesn't work for you, fine move on. If a guy looks like a clown using it, fine don't look at...
I'll admit -- yeah, I've acquired a few pistols because I was inspired by a movie. The Untouchables ... got me interested in classic 1911s ......
OP - like some of the other are asking - what era did you grow up? (Of course, my wife would say I still haven't "grown up"). I have a 1970s...
I have a variety of "all of the above". Random observations ... M57 - a fine pistol but I am not fond of the magazine safety. They don't take...
Sorry to hear about your Cabela's experience. The one in my area is pretty good (though they are still fairly new). Yes, their used guns are...
In that budget, with adjustable sights, I'd give serious consideration to the Springfield RO (best bang for the buck), and then the Colt Gold Cup...
Decided to make this a build from scratch project. Picked up an NDS partially stripped retro upper that somebody had started as a project....
Since HB 961 was just passed in the Virginia House, the debate will now have to move into the Senate. The gun ban bill actually had a few...
That they did,... they included the component parts to the list of prohibited items in the proposed AWB bill: " "Assault firearm" includes any...
Thanks for the suggestions - I'm good with my CAPCO A2 upper, but will bear the DPMS in mind in case the wife gets bitten by the retro bug as...
I'm going for broke (literally), XM16E1 (like my older cousin carried). M16A1 (the first one I handled) - PSA is allegedly coming out with an...
The reference to aluminum came from their gun tech - I asked what the part was made out of, and he replied they are made of cast aluminum. And...
Actually, if you dig through the numbers, PSA's manufacturing (at different addresses) adds another 29,500 rifles, or so, to the 2017 total. So,...
Please read my first post more carefully. I said I bought an XBRN16A1 upper for $730. Only the upper (part # 078-000-471WB). Not the entire rifle.
They cited company policy (cited by each of a customer service rep, a customer support rep, a gun tech rep, and finally a supervisor). Each...
