    What should I expect from a 1911?

    Expense Don't buy it. You will go broke buying more! Currently, I have about 11 of 'em. They are like Pokemon, ya gotta get 'em all. Then you start with the custom makers. Ouch. But they are just so good. All of my 1911s that I own now run with any ammo. I've had two that I had...

    Help me pick my "primary" CCW

    Given the fact that you can shoot both equally well, hit with both equally well, and both are equally reliable, I would choose the .45ACP. As the Mariner alluded to, the experts overseas have had problems with 9mm doing what it's supposed to do in tight quarters. The .45 has legendary...

    I'm not so sure about the .45 ACP anymore

    Since I CCW I don't necessarily want overpenetration. I don't want my bullet to penetrate and hit an innocent bystander. Since I'm probably not going to be shooting people wearing helmets, that interesting fact doesn't apply to my situation. If I recall correctly, our military adopted...

    Mr. Rogers died today.

    Regardless of his politics, I will dearly miss him. He was wonderful. I grew up with his television show, and it remains perhaps one of the best contributions television has ever made to the development of our children. This is America, anyone can believe whatever they want. I will not hate...

    Giving the 1911 Another Chance?

    If your'e going to have only one 1911, get a Baer TRS. 2nd choice Ed Brown Cobra. 3rd choice Wilson CQB. If you want a gun that'll make you bow down on the ground and cry "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" --Save up and get a Vickers or Tibbets custom. I own them both, and I'm not worthy...

    Anything bad to say about wilson combat?

    Wilson Combat They build a good gun, but it is overpriced for what you get. I have a Wilson CQB that is flawless, but have heard of problems with Super Grade guns that simply should not have been allowed out the door. This would be my order for the semi-custom market: Les Baer (Thunder...

    Times, Newsweek :barf:

    Don't read waste of "TIME" or NEWSWEAK. They are utterly useless. The American Pravda.

    Black Hills and Pro Load...as Good as Federal - Opinions Sought

    I researched this quite a bit... when I went through my concealed carry training. One crucial element of carry ammunition which often gets overlooked is muzzle flash. Someone had tested federal, triton, proload, and others for functioning, accuracy, and muzzle flash. Proload won the muzzle...

    (Detroit) This doesn't help our image any....

    While I may personally agree... With the owner of the Gun Barn about his stands on Ebonics and feminism, his signs are crude and stupid. They only serve to inflame people, not persuade them to his point of view. He has a right to say what he wants, it's his store, but it was tacky and rudely...

    Holster Question

    The most comfortable IWB I've ever owned is the Milt Sparks Versamax-2. It is rock-solid, built to last, and is tuckable with the enclosed clips. I own about a half dozen of these holsters. Tony Kanaley is a pleasure to deal with and knows his stuff. Give 'em a try. Bob

    Cops sued over dog shooting.............

    newleaf Everyone's entitled to an opinion. Doesn't mean we have to agree with it. I am a friend to LEOs in my area. They are not jack-booted thugs. They are friends. Everyone of them that has seen that video say one thing--that was a MAJOR SCREW UP. That officer shouldn't be a mall...

    Pop, no bang.

    NOT YET I have patience, a Dillon XL650 with a powder check die, and compulsiveness in visually checking the powder before seating the bullet to thank for it. Bob
