    1911 9mm problem

    Thanks, new link did the trick. I swear from the condition of the pistol, that must have been the only part ever changed.

    Thanks I will try that is there a point where the link is too short, minus when it does not engage the locking lugs?

    1911 9mm problem

    Ok, I need some help. I bought a 1911 9mm used pistol. The problem, it shoots 18 inches low at 7 yards. I also noticed the firing pin strike on a fired casing is not center, marking the round I discover this strike to be in the 6 o'clock position on the primer. Now I only have ordinary shop...

    Slide not locking back on last shot

    Could be way off, any chance you changed your grip on the pistol? The way I hold my 1911 my weak thumb hits the slide stop lever and due to this it will not engage after the last round.

    Thoughts on guns at the state fair?

    I'm with the rest, ANYWHERE, I legally can carry, I do. I am strong on situational awareness, meaning at the edge of the crowd, not in the middle, consider changing your position to change the angle, and other pre thought out tactics. I also carry other force options IE. OC and a kubaton in the...

    "Hard to trace" brand of weapon?

    I don't know about other states, here, Missouri as I understand it, an involuntary commitment, referred to as a 96 hour hold will not always disqualify a firearms purchase or even a ccw permit. If the receiving hospital feels the subject needs to be held further, and they take this to a court...

    Do You Have an Excellent Handgun that was Inexpensive?

    Oh I know I will catch it for this but, I have a Llama Max I 45, and a Mini Max that last total I have around 10,000 rounds through each. I did change the recoil springs and I use the Wilson recoil buffers, but I really use handguns, and I cannot fault either of these. If I recall both were...

    Maximum Number Of Guns You Have Ever Carried Concealed At One Time

    Well , I always carry two. I have a couple reasons, first I was taught two is one and one is none. More importantly, at one point in my career, I was on a investigation with a State officer. A hot call, (don't that sound impressive?) came out, he was not carrying a firearm at the time. By having...

    Quality then and now

    Ok I gotta weigh in on this one. I gotta go with the old gun theory on two levels, first to me the old guns fit the shooter better, ok most not all. Consider the feel of an 1894 Winchester, Peacemaker or the popular 1911. Second and maybe I am the only one with this luck, but three recent...

    Do You Carry Concealed into your Church?

    I think as you do, if someone wished to make a scene what better target then a church. I hate the way the churches are built, at least the ones I am familiar with, doors behind you, pews to be trapped in, ect. Because of these and other facts, yes I carry in church, remember something about God...

    Do you feel products like this can cast a negative or violent image of gun owners?

    I gotta agree with most of the posts, I wouldn't want it as exhibit in my shooting review, however, if that is the only stick they can find to hit me with I guess I will have done ok. I think it would be like most items, if it is displayed in the right crowd no problem.
