Today started off with some out of towners shooting a doe over my fenceline, right near my usual spot. This wouldn't have been a problem, but the lazy SOB's brought a four wheeler up and proceeded to ride all over the ridgeline trying to get to it to haul it out!:cuss: Great times, now to find...

Find a M1917! The Remington I sold here on THR was picked up for $525 thanks to the CAI electro pencil.

Interesting story... The first time I stripped one I pulled the top cover forward and lifted it up... WHAMMO! Mainspring lodged in the webbing between thumb and forefinger... Never did that again..:o

Too slow on the draw...

If Lamazza ever shows up, ask him about the Ruger standard model I showed him. My father bought it used in 1970, and it's been shot alot... No Idea on actual round count, but she's getting darn close to musket like.:D No excessive cleaning here!:

John, you fully reallize that the .270 and our fancy-schmancy tree stand are doomed to fail. The busted up 30-30 and 5 gallon pail in the mud were the winning aspects to our hunt! Oh, that and Pearsons Nut Rolls, you can't hunt without them.

My brother in law and I just got back from the gunshow where I picked up some wood grips for my 1911, showed me this thread so I had to offer a pic.

I'd be lying if I said the 1911's history didn't play into my decision to pick one up but something else was always eating away in the back of my mind. I was shooting a 9mm, sleek, fast and hi capacity. It wasn't enough. I wanted to lob a big, slow (comparitively) hunk-o-lead down range. My...

Oh No! The evil Tec-22 was brought up! I owned one and can assure you it's the cheapest POS I've ever fired. If you can get through a 30round double stack with only one stovepipe you're doing amazingly well. That said, it was a ton of fun for what it was worth. 30 rounds and no recoil? No...

I think it really comes down to personal taste. I like park'd pistols myself. If a pistol is too polished you get a glare and can't see the lines and curves of the piece as clearly. I'm anal about cleaning and oiling my pistols so the rust risk is really a non factor for me. I have an old...

Wisconsin's governor has just Vetoed CC again. I haven't checked on it lately, but I think the REP's are trying to override it again. If it passes, I'll take the class and get the permit just on principle, but in reality I don't see myself carrying very often.

I had one for a couple of years, just sold it a few weeks ago to pick up my first 1911. The PT-92 is accurate and very reliable. I probably put 3500 rounds down the barrel of mine in the time I had it and never had a single jam or missfire of any kind. When I first got it I did have to 'bump'...

I have the standard Ruger with fixed sites and I love it. I've had it for about 12 years and it's the pistol I always line up anything new I get against. I can outshoot a lot of people with a lot more expensive pieces with it. Mine was origionally $200 even, I don't know what they go for today.

Oh yeah, but I always like to put my Mk II side by side so I can see if it's the pistol or me. My second group with the 45 found North and South right on the money, now I've gotta close down my East and West travel. I'm really pleased thus far, my Taurus PT 92 took a ton of shooting and a...

Yeah, I noticed that plastic trigger already. When I checked the colt site, they list them as aluminum on all the 1991 series, but apparently I have the bargin basement version and they cheaped out on the trigger. I took mine out today for my first real attempt to check the grouping at 25...

LOL, I know! I was sooooooo close to just staying home, I'm really happy I went!

Ooh! I really like them both! Man, I thought this was gonna be the easy part, lol, I can see myself spending weeks deciding on this one! Does Colt offer a double diamond with either a US or the prancing pony in the center? I've seen Springfields with a DD and US stamp that I really liked but...

Thanks! I have to thank my brother in law, (.45acp on this forum) for pointing me towards them. I've always wanted a 1911, but never "Just went for it!" I've been doing a little research on it and from what I read the 1991A1 is mechanically identical to any other series 80 1911, but is...

I just got rid of a Taurus PT 92 in order to pick up my 1911. I probably put 3500 rounds down the barrel of that Taurus without a single missfire,jam, or problem, but after a few rounds with a Taurus 945 I knew I needed my own 45. Went with a Colt 1991A1. I only have about 80 rounds down the...

Since I'm also new here. What's the difference between a 1911 and a 1991A1? (I just picked this one up Sunday, my first .45acp, $525NIB, WOOT!)
