Even though I carry a 1911 C&L. By my bed I keep a S&W 686 so when I'm woken in the night I don't have to worry about a safety, is a round in the chamber or if the hammer is cocked. I want to keep it as simple as I can.
I would get the XD. Have had my XD-9 for about a year and a half. No problems. When I go shooting with some of my glock friends. The are always wanting to shoot my XD. Most say that they would like to get one.
My local indoor range charges $8 per visit. They also have a large sample of loaner guns for use at no charge(just buy their ammo). The safety officer is also willing to go out of his way to help with any problems or questions. The outdoor range is free.
When looking for a 1911 the $$$ your willing to spend and the option that you want will have alot to do with your final decision. I am a big fan of the 70 series Colt, very good out of the box and can be built. Also have enjoyed my Kimbers(both 4" pro models).
Hey chuft I would go to a range that has rentals. My local one has everyone of the pistols that have been recommended. You won't go wrong with any of them, but if you can shoot each you will find the one that is right for you. This pistol will last you a lifetime, so take alittle time and look...
RM- I picked up a Pocket Pro Timer from Midway last Oct\Nov they had them for just around $100. I have really enjoyed it so far. Seem to be getting a few more invites to go shooting too. As long as I bring the timer. The random start has helped with my draw. And being able to see the...
Huntsville THR where do you go shooting after swan creek closes... besides Larry's. Was at the show today... seems to get a little less each time. Richard
I bet the odds are alot better that you end up with a stolen gun, than the government ending up with your gun. I have no problem buying from private parties, but hiding a gun or 2 or 3... from the law is not the main reason for me. Right now I feel we are a long way from that in the U.S.A.
I have been looking to buy another Sig. Already have 220\45acp & 226\9mm. Love them and all the P-series that I've shoot. I am wanting a P229 in 357sig. I was wondering how the DAK trigger system differs from the DAO conversion that Sig offers. I have always liked the DA\SA of the Sigs,but would...
I seem to have the same problem. Alway had alot of 7rd & 8rd 1911 mag. About a dozen of both the 20rd &30rd Ar mags. But now with the hi-cap ban gone all my autos seem to be building up a surplus+++ of mags. Need to stop... need money for more guns!!
Usually take a couple hundred for ammo. Have not found many good deals on guns at the shows lately. When the Knob Creek shows come around I will take all I can afford + somemore $. But that is the one place that I can always find thing to buy,have to limit it to only one visit a year.
