Looking for a 50-yard plinker in .45ACP. What is the inherent accuracy potential (i.e., capable from a machine rest) of a new box-stock Colt Gold Cup Trophy at 50 yards? BTW, this is not for formal competition, just plinking at 50 yards. When it comes to 1911s, I like Colts, but I'm...

Some guy hooked a semiauto. Looks like a Sig, HK or maybe a CZ, to me , but a lot of barnacles are in the way. Check out the story and photo here: http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/20220924fisherman_reels_in_a_handgun/srvc=news&position=recent_bullet

Anyone know the circa 1975 MSRP of a Colt Gov't .45 in electroless nickel? Thanks, Mr. Doughnut

I just came from my LGS where I was looking at some ARs for plinking. One item that caught my eye is a used Bushmaster XM15-F2s. This particular rifle has a full buttstock, carry handle and a fluted barrel that appears to be 24". I can't seem to find much info on the Internet about the...

Hypothetical: A Series 80 1911 is carried in Condition One mode. The sear fails. Thumb safety and grip safety both fail. Does the Series 80 trigger safety alone prevent the gun from discharging? Hopefully this is a yes-or-no question that does not require a lecture from Rube Goldberg...

Tomorrow, I'll finally get around to shooting a Garand that was given to me years ago. I'll be sighting in on a B-27 @ 100 yards. Where do I start with the sights? How many clicks for windage and elevation do you recommend to get on the paper? The ammo is Lake City, decades old...

Hypothetical: You're browsing in a jewelry store getting Christmas gift ideas for your SO. The store is in a popular mall along with a host of others. This is no inner-city pawn shop, it's a nice suburban setting in a very low crime area. Suddenly, three guys wearing black hoodies and...

I just acquired a Colt Combat Commander, manufactured in 1975, with what appears to be a chrome plated barrel. Some of the chrome plate is flaking off at the barrel hood, and there are minute cracks in the plating at the tip of the muzzle. The hood is marked COLT .45 AUTO. Did Colt ever...

I'm looking for some thoughts and opinions on a weighty topic... Background: A troubled man deliberately kills himself with his Colt 1911. Some years later, the deceased's father gives the gun to a nephew, who is a younger cousin of the suicide victim. The uncle (again, he's the father of...
