If anyone is interested; the particular pistol I chose looks exactly like the pistol found here http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2008/12/colt-m1911a1-national-match-at-auction.html The grips look the same, the sights look the same, and weirdly enough, the texturing job on the front strap...

Blackwalnut, Thank you for your advice. I was under the impression that the Chinese made Norincos have a reputation for being made of an unusually good grade of steel (a 5100 series steel). Good knives can be made with that type of steel (Im thinking of 5160 in particular) This is not to say...

Doc Glock: I'm paying a little over 700 for it. It already has a set of ellison adjustable sights and it looks like someone has already set it up as a hardball gun. Everything seems pretty tight. the frame has a tiny bit of play but I'm ok with that for now. I liked it so I'm buying it.

Before this thread develops further into a 1911 vs the world thread, I just wanted to let everyone know that I put the 1944 made colt on layaway. I spent a good deal of time going over the pistol looking for cracks and other defects and was satisfied. I look forward to rebuilding it into...

(shakes head) Doc Glock, just so we're on the same sheet of music (at least in the same genre), what pistol would you use for the .45 acp portion of a Bullseye match? Don't just say "I'd use X brand or Y brand". Please explain to me how the design and make of your chosen pistol allows it to...

This thread got weird. Gents, your advice is well appreciated. As cool as that CZ-97 and an XD that can shoot 1 in', I think I'm going to stick with a 1911 as there are more "go fast" parts available. I'm not looking for a home defense gun, I have a fully converted saiga 12 for that. To use...

Schmeky: That is a fine example of a 1911. Simple and accurate. I suppose what I'm looking for is a reason not to lay money down on the old Colt. My biggest concern is not being able to get the colt to the accuracy standard needed or shooting a well worn gun to the point where it's not feasible...

Doc Glock and EddieNFL: I'm not trying to be critical of your opinion but is there another .45 platform out there that can compete as successfully in a bulls-eye competition? I'm not trying to say that only 1911s can be successful in bulls-eye matches it is just that it seems to me that 1911's...

I've recently got into bulls-eye shooting and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Right now I only have a S&W 41 22. and I want to purchase something in .45 so I can compete in a full bulls-eye match. To be clear I fully expect to sink in money towards accurizing in order to make any of my choices...

So I finally traded in the HK P7 that I've been less than in love with for store credit at my favorite toy err... firearms store and picked up a well loved S&W model 41 and an absolutely beautiful Finn M-39. Perfect stock, bluing, rifling, made in 1967, I couldn't ask for a better example. After...

you actually did really well... The avalanche is an absolutely fantastic knife. It is just about the right size for everyday carry and has a superb blade shape (no funny angles to sharpen at, good leverage at the handle) Their s30v steel is very good. Some manufactures had some chipping...

I appreciate your reply Mr. Camp. It seems you have hit the nail on the head and my hi power does indeed have the features you describe. It seems kind of funny to me that the changeover from type to type is so inconsistent. O well, I'll enjoy it reguardless of what type it is. ...now to...

Hello everyone. I wondering what type (mark I or II ) of hi power i have. It is of Browning/ FN manufacture and I believe the assembly date is 1986 (PT in the serial # which according to the Browning Website is in refrence to 1986), the "bushing" on the front of the slide is recessed towards...

Hello all, I am new to the shooting community and I want to thank everyone who gave me advice in an earlier thread on choosing a handgun. I have decided i think i will purchase a FN 9mm Hi-Power SA. Unfortunately it seems CDNN is out of NIB $400.00 SA only hi powers. Darn. However, I have...

chakup- is 650.00 the going price for a used SA Loaded? Im looking on the SA site and the cheapest loaded is going for 869.00 for the parkarized.

chakup- I’m looking for a weapon that's probably going to end up at range and have fun shooting.- every weekend. If I do get a concealed carry permit (and i probably will) I think the smaller hi power would have the advantage. I’m not too concerned about super extreme 1,000,000 round...

Fantastic ideas all I see the economy of buying a Springfield Mill spec. It is something i probably should consider more. I have handled quite a few hi powers in the past year. It seems like every Tawfiq, Ahmad, and Muhammad either have a hi power, Tariq, Star, or Beretta 92 for protection...

Decisions, decisions... I'm turning 21 in just a few weeks and I'm buying a firearm. I just don't know what kind. I'm saving up more then a little bit of cash while out here in Iraq (I'm getting short. Heck Yeah!). Right now I'm considering the 1250.00 (approx) STI Lawman or a 500.00...
