    What motivates your gun-related expenditures?

    None of the above. I already have utility and what I need, so I buy what I want, but I don’t really take pride in ownership of things and am not a collector. So I guess … whim. I buy on whim, obsessively researched and plotted and planned whim

    Staccato vs CZ S2 Orange

    Thanks, good to know

    Staccato vs CZ S2 Orange

    Isn’t Staccatos focus these days more of duty and carry over competition? Typically id expect a bit of a heavier trigger in that case.

    1911 Shootout $4,000 vs. $2,000 vs. $300

    Without it you aren’t really comparing the guns at all, just how accurate you happen to be with the gun at that moment. I can take the exact same two guns to the range on consecutive days and have completely opposite results depending on how I’m feeling at any given moment. I guess if you ran...

    In today's edition of Guns I Want: Dan Wesson Heirloom 1911 in .38 Super

    LOL, I got mine before they went down (then back up) in price and was a good deal, locally, at $1700.

    Beretta PX4 Storm versus APX

    Had an APX centurion. Wonderful feel in the hand and had a good trigger but I just didn’t shoot it well. I had bought it as an alternative to a Glock 19, and just went back to the Glock. Got it for a steal and sold it for what I had in it, so it was a wash. If I were making the choice, I’d...

    In today's edition of Guns I Want: Dan Wesson Heirloom 1911 in .38 Super

    Pretty fancy. I like my VBob a lot, even if it’s plan and getting a little weathered. Still miss my 9mm Valkyrie a bit, I almost had DW fit a .38 super barrel for it, and kinda wish I had. Wonder if they still offer that, a number of years back it was only like $130

    Wilson Combat Order

    I’ve returned a couple things to Wilson and never had a problem with refunds. Can’t recall how long they took

    Do you own a Glock?

    Yep, have a few. I like them

    Old School or New School CCW

    Fully agree. Also the 9mm is going to likely be easier to conceal and lighter for carry.

    How often do you practice with your CCW gun that you carry the most?

    Don’t shoot as much as I should these days with work and whatnot. But my CCW or equivalent gets most of my range time every month

    New 2011…my favorite platform!

    I enjoyed the 4th one. Some of the scenes were fun from a cinematography standpoint. Some were really dumb, though.

    New 2011…my favorite platform!

    Should still get a Sand Viper to.. uh.. complete the set. Beautiful gun and I’m jealous

    What does it mean to say a gun has "soul"?

    Seems to me most who talk about guns with "souls" refer to guns made of steel and wood. To me, a gun is a tool. Some tools are really nice looking, really nicely made, or have good history. But they are still tools. So I don't perscribe to one gun having a "soul" and one other gun not having...

    DWX vs Shadow 2… How much better?

    DWX has a usable safety with my thumbs, which is something CZs don’t have. Was super excited for one but the cz compact grip just doesn’t fit me right, and I didn’t want the full size. Not optic ready was a minus too

    Shadow Systems guns?

    Seems like your preference is clear, so said opinion isn’t surprising. Certainly can say that the alternate backstrap do change the feel some but the trigger, indeed, is still quite Glockish. As noted, they fit Glock holsters fine.

    Shadow Systems guns?

    Same ranking in mag cost too ;)

    45 Super ???

    I use something similar, but made by Underwood, as my general woods round now that I’m not in grizzly country. Runs fine in my 1911s, Glock 21 or HK45c so there’s plenty of options. As to OP, I had a lot of the same questions and options as you did years back and just eventually went with a...

    RemArms LLC to close the Ilion facility.

    Kinda forgot they still existed, to be honest.

    Bul Armory vs. Lifetime warraty?

    No, it’s not silly to worry about the looks of a gun if that’s something that appeals to you. If you like how it looks, you’re more likely to like it and shoot it, even if only a little bit moreso. End of the day you’re paying good money for it, might as well make sure it’s what you want...
