    What is the most unreliable semi auto you have shot ?

    Hands down, the Chinese knockoff of the soviet Tokarev Pistol, the "TU-90". I worked for an importer that brought some in from China. We test fired a few and they literally fell aprt in our hands. I refused to sell any. Garbage.

    Finally!

    For those of you outside of The People's Republic of New Jersey be advised, if you move here it will take at least three months for your pistol purchase permit to be approved. That's right, you need a permit from the state to exercise your 2A rights. Anyway, I got my paperwork Sat and drove to...

    best 1911

    I have a seroes 1 Kimber Custom Classic. If you can find one get it, it's awesome. Also have a SA SS Loaded. It's a lot of gun for the money. Just bought a SA Champ Operator but the People's Republic of New Jersey is making me wait for the paperwork to pick it up.

    Anyone else here who doesn't own AND doesn't want a polymer framed pistol?

    I love my 1911s. Some people have to be shown that weight and size are not bad things when you are trying to put lead on target fast (that is what its all about). There seems to be too much worship at the alter of light weight and high capacity. I can't tell you how many insufferable...

    options comprable to glock 23

    I find the grip on the g23 uncomfortable as well. I strongly reccomend you take a look at the XD. Very similar to the Glock in some way but (IMO) better ergos. I have been carrying mine for awhile and have been taking it to the range (I am a range instructor for a federal agency), it's really...

    Sping for Springfield XDm40

    Springfield? They may have a few.

    glock 36 fte

    Just shot one today and had the same problem. In a shorter semi there is less room for error in cycling and ejecting. Basically, as in other things in life you cannot gain something (in this case concealability) without losing something (reliability). Thats one reason i prefer a full size 45...

    Scandium alloy framed 1911s?

    Most people will never shoot an aluminum, steel or scandium frame to failure. If you do and you can afford that much ammo then you can certainly afford another frame. Stop worrying, buy what you like and go shoot.

    Lube suggestions

    I always liked FP-10. When I worked in the firearms industry it was popular with BP shooters because they could do more shots between cleanings if they used it. It's petroleum based but they do something to it where you can wipe it almost dry and it still lubricates/protects. You also only...

    1911 and Glock

    I have used Glocks for years professionally. They are alright, not as good as some people or Glocks marketing makes them out to be. I also like 1911s. That being said those two brands are far from the only game in town so when people act like those are the only two options its laughable...

    Rock Island 1911 a2

    I would stick to single stack, but that's just me.

    What would you choose?

    I have a series one Custom Classic from Kimber and an older SS Loaded from SA. Both are dynamite. Wouldn't mind getting a SA professional though.
