    NRA lobbying for money or a scam

    I guess I'm lucky. That DVD thingie is the only thing I ever got from them. I guess they decided they were the Columbia House record club all of a sudden. Surely everyone knows that that sort of thing is a gift (or trash). Do you know who actually puts it in the return envelope so that...

    10mm 1911

    This a Delta Elite manufactured a few months ago. I sure wouldn't say it's ramped. Kind of a reverse crowning effect on the bottom 2/3rds. This barrel in the rear-most position. For me, personally, I won't shoot anything other than maybe the Remington UMC 180s in it. But that's just me...

    10mm 1911

    That's a nice looking Delta Elite, right there. Who did the work on that handgun? I'd like to get a lot of work done on mine. Let me ask you a question that's none of my business. For all that you had done to that one, did you stick with the original recoil spring system, or did you...

    Can't sit down carrying concealed

    I really dislike Academy Sports, but the one thing they are occasionally good for is the odd sized Levi's. That's where I get my W35 L32 jeans. If it weren't for those, I'd be in the same boat as the OP. Finding the right holster turns into a costly exercise for many folks, that's for...

    denied permit in 2003 in NY, going to reapply need thoughts.

    Having re-read all the responses, I can see that what you are saying must be the case. If you're telling me I'm way off base, that is. .

    denied permit in 2003 in NY, going to reapply need thoughts.

    I don't know the answer. Our CHLs in Texas are issued by the state. There is a set of rules that are very clear and very easily found online. I would think the same is true for NY. If you are looking for reassurance, you may or may not be able to find it within the rules. I can't...

    Question about blueing

    If you frequently mis-place things and have a bad time finding them, I suppose the bright orange might be kind of nice. .

    10mm vs. 45ACP

    I didn't really buy into this concern about the cost of ammo until I actually fired my first 10mm the first time. My first 10mm is my 1911 with a cone barrel. A few years ago, I owned that same handgun in .45. It was extremely easy to shoot and I wasn't really concerned about the fact that I...

    What do think about the CCW Banner ???

    $31.95? Is someone having a post-Christmas sale? They're $31.99, like post number 30 says. Those things must have a wholesale value of about one nickel. .

    $3,000 to start my collection...

    I'm sure you know you've asked an impossible question. Impossible - yet fun. There's always that one poster who will suggest something that he, himself does not own. Today I'll be that guy. Three thousand bucks? Forget the semi-customs. I went that route and sometimes wish I hadn't. With...

    Firearm 2012 purchase resolutions ???

    Honestly, I would have preferred to purchase no firearms in 2012, but I think that Dan Wesson Titan Elite might be more temptation than I can bear. I've already started selling plasma and eating nothing but ramen noodles in anticipation of a possible buy. .

    Good carry location for a full size pistol

    I don't have anything constructive to say concerning the original question. I would observe, though, that at 5 foot 10 and 200 pounds, the OP is hardly ready to appear on The Biggest Loser. As for the VM2, it is just unbelievable that they are still priced at only 114 bucks. I suppose that...

    Groomsman gifts: Handguns. now which one?

    I'll have to vote for the idea of a derringer, too, if you can somehow swing the cost. I don't own one, but I kind of feel like the more ridiculous the caliber, the more attractive they become. Do you want to fire a derringer built to fire a 7.62 round? I know I don't. The idea is just so...

    A 45 "Why" Question

    I can't imagine there are a whole lot of 69 year old shooters who will shoot a handgun like that out to 25 or 50 yards. I'm 20 years younger than that, and have a bad time past 7 yards. To each his own, I suppose, but that handgun you are talking about is the kind of handgun that I would...

    Gun dealers gone bad

    The only thing I can really relate to is this business about there being an extra person who is always hanging out at the store. You can't really tell whether they work there or not. Around here, it's usually an old man. If a store employee says he has never heard of a particular gun scrubber...

    $2000 - what to buy

    I didn't know you could get a Fusion for 2k. There was a time when I spent time on the 1911 forumns. I'd wander up into the Fusion section now and again. Seemed like a really decent crowd. If I had 2k burning a hole in my pocket, maybe I'd revisit something I ran across a few weeks ago. I...

    Just went shooting for the first time! Now what to get?

    If you really, really want a Glock, go ahead and get that Glock 19. I can't see any reason why you shouldn't. I don't know a thing about Glocks. If there is some ejector/spring/whatever issue, surely it's a problem with a solution that works. Once again, I don't know Glocks. It's always...

    10mm

    You're not supposed to shoot them. You're supposed to photograph them, put them back in your safe, then post pics on the interweb. Delta Elite purchased NIB off the shelf 12-3-11. If you haven't seen one locally lately, this might be a good time to look again. WC Tactical Elite in 10...

    Semi in 10mm?

    Two really strong magnets, with protection between the magnet and the handgun.

    Semi in 10mm?

    I would think that's a demand issue, as noted by the post following your's. I don't know anything about Glocks. They simply don't interest me. It's possible that I could become interested if I had an interest in a 10mm handgun simply for the utility of the handgun. The Smith would interest me...
