Always been sorry STI ( Staccato now ) stopped making their single stack 1911 pistols. When I see one for sale, if the funds are available, I try and snag it. Was able to nab this Elektra in 9mm about a week ago.
About 18 months ago, I lucked into a six shot SP101 with the half lug barrel. So this week, I was able to snag a full lug version. I had the wood grips laying around, so swapped those out on the 1/2 lug as soon as I brought it home. Might just look for some nice inserts for the grips on the full...
So I have this friend in another state. He gets a call from one of the local gun shops he frequently buys from. They have a Freedom Arms 83 in 454 with a 12" barrel. I had no idea that existed. No such animal listed on their website, but they do list an option for non standard barrel lengths (...
So my wife has a hard time Christmas shopping for me. She says if I want something, I usually just go buy it. That leaves little for her to get me for Christmas. So this year, while driving back from Tulsa, she stopped for gas at Buc-ee's. While there, she bought my Christmas gifts, a couple...
Some of y'all post pics of some mighty fine EDC gear. I wondered what would be the dumbest package I could piece together without working too hard at it. Not much for staging, but here's what I came up with. I'm sure some of you can do better...
Have an old friend, who was 100% a S&W guy. That's all he owned. That collection of S&Ws was really nice though. I messed that up for him when he moved to Montana, and I gave him a Ruger as a going away present.
On the other hand, I like to mix things up. Things are always in flux, but currently...
Drew my line in the sand, and was outbid by $1. Okay, I lost the auction. A few days later, the same pistol is listed again ( serial number matched ). Spoke with seller ( LGS ). Plan on bidding again, but concerned the winning bidder backed out for condition issues. No condition issue. Turns...
We have an artist friend, who invited us to a showing one of her friends was having. Hadn't seen our friend in some time, so happy to go. So we're checking out the paintings, and my wife sees this painting of a donkey she likes. "I want it" she says. My mouth started moving before the brain...
This is a non profit organization in 17 states. From what I've read, a pretty good association. I guess from time to time, they auction guns ( some long & some hand ) with their logo somewhere on the firearm. I think the guns are donated & the proceeds benefit the association. I came across one...
This has always puzzled me. Ya have a nice gun, but won't shoot it because it will hurt it's resale value. I mean, just how much do you expect it to appreciate? Let it sit in the safe for years and maybe get an extra $1K or so for it. Doesn't make sense.
I have a friend out west. Self made multi...
Recently had back surgery and have been pretty much stuck in the house. Started finding all sorts of videos on YouTube, where people are showing off their gun collections ( some are pretty good collections ). I kinda like watching these, but wonder about the wisdom of showing the world...
Awhile back, a neighbor needed to raise some money for medical reasons. Asked for my help with selling several pistols. I bought two of them myself. One I wanted and was happy to buy. that is a Colt 1911 MK IV Series 70. The other I bought, just to help put some extra $$$ in his pocket. That was...
A friend ask for help finding a pistol. Always happy to do that, but not having any luck. So turning to the members for help.
He wants a hammer fired, single stack, that has an optics plate. Also, doesn't want to shell out $2K for it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Have a Beretta 96A1 ( 40 S&W ). I've read ( and seen on You Tube ) that the 40 S&W barrel can be swapped out with a 9mm barrel. In the You Tube video, it worked fine. Guy even used the 40 S&W mags. But that was just a magazine or two. Was wondering if anybody here has done this long term, and...
Been going to gun shows for 40 years. They have always been on weekends. Have one coming up later this month that will be on a Monday/Tuesday. My first thought was small crowd & better bargaining leverage. Second thought was a lot of vendors have M-F day jobs, and selection might be poor. I'm...
I tend to hang onto my guns. I have a hard time making the collection smaller. Over the years, I have only given away 4 guns. Only one was from my "stash". The others I bought new intending to give as a gift. None were for birthdays, etc. when one might expect a gift. Just a surprise, here's a...
Did you ever say, for whatever reason, I'll never own one of those ( insert brand ) guns? And then find you not only bought one, but bought several of them?
For me, that would be Glocks. At one time, I just felt they were unsafe. I like manual safeties. And stories of people getting "Glock leg...
Looking at some storage options to free up some space in the safe. Already ordered some of those wire pistol hangers. Also seeing magnets as an option to hold magazines and pistols under shelves & on safe walls. What I'm wondering is, when a magnet gets rubbed on something like a screwdriver...
Anybody own or have any experience with either of these 1911s? Wondering about build quality, attention to detail, etc. Really wonder about the Ultimate Arms after long term use.
