I am sure that the 1911 will likely win out but I will give everyone the chance. please...

    recomend an auto for CCW

    let me start by saying that I prefer the .45acp in a 1911 but I can't convince myself on cocked and locked carry. I own a Baby Eagle in .45acp and it is reliable but I want something a bit smaller so I was thinking 9mm. what would you all recomend in a 9mm or a .40 if the weapon is concealable...

The box says "38 CAL. 180 GR. .357 CL-SIL" although I assumed that these were cast lead they are jacketed flat points that has a small point of exposed lead almost like a soft point. I am wondering if these can be...

    Polygonal rifling in Baby Eagle?

    I have a chance to get a good deal on a Baby Eagle in .45acp, I have been told that this gun uses Polygonal rifling. I have disassembled the pistol and examined the bore, the rifling looks the same to me as standard rifling. I have 2 questions on this. does Polygonal rifling look basically the...

    DA/SA in .45acp?

    OK, I currently carry a 1911a1, but I don't really feel comfortable with cocked and locked carry. I love my 1911 and will probably never get rid of it but I am wondering what you guys might recommend in an affordable DA/SA auto in .45acp. I prefer steel but it seems these days that isn't always...
