    Springfield GI Champion 4" 1911 good?

    Great Gun I have a GI Champion and it has been great. No FTE's or FTF's in 800 rounds. The small sights make for some very tight groups at the range!

    Saxet Gun Shows 30.06 & bag check

    Glad their back. I for one missed having the Saxet shows in Austin over the better part of the last year. I am aware there were other shows, and I attended a couple. The Saxet show is as good as it gets(for gun shows anyway) in the Austin market. The other shows were a complete waste of time...

    Sub-$1000 1911

    Apparantly the OP cares. I stated that I have a few Springfield's and I love them all, the OP however stated he would like the pistol made in the U.S.A. My older Springfield model has the IM Brazil on the side of the frame, not on the bottom. My STI's frame is an armscor, and cast to...

    Colt "New Agent"

    I don't know where you are but Academy in Round Rock Texas has had one for atleast a year. I say one because I doubt anyone has bought it.

    Sub-$1000 1911

    If you have a Springfield, it has a Brazilian Frame. Yes, they all are. I have a few and love them, so I'm not bashing. STI Spartan's major components are imported as well. I have a Spartan and love that thing. More accurate than my Kimber "Target" models. STI's other guns are all...

    thinking about a scope

    Perhaps I am reading your post wrong but are you looking at scopes with only 4X magnification max. For consistent humane(or accurate) hits at 500yards I would be using atleast a 12X magnification. I suppose it depends what your intended target is but for any animal a kill shot is difficult and...

    Compact 1911 - Springfield or Kimber?

    In an ultra sized 3" I would go with Kimber. In 4" Commander size I prefer Springfield YMMV

    1911 range fun gun

    My vote is for my STI Spartan. Adjustable sights are great for a range gun. Gun is flawless and more accurate than my Kimbers..and several hundred dollars less.

    Kimber---good or bad

    I have not been dissapointed I recently picked up my first Kimbers, an Ultra Carry II and an Eclipse Target II. I was very hesitant after reading all the issues that people seem to have with their Kimbers. The Eclipse was a preowned gun with the dreaded External Extractor. I figured it was in...

    Charles Daly 1911A FSB.

    I had a CD EFB bought new in 1997. I remember it being a beautiful gun. Unfortunately it was a time before I knew about replacing magazines. It was extremely unreliable, even with ball ammo. The grip safety broke at about 250 rounds. I traded it in on a Sigma(I know, I know). Anyhow it...

    sigma 9ve or 40ve

    Sigma's not as bad as others let on I have had 6 over the years in both 9mm and .40 In fact my second gun(my 1st "real" auto) was a Sigma Value edition with the ugly gray frame. In all of those I have never had a single problem with them. I learned pistols with a S&W model 19, so the trigger...

    whats the deal with remington?

    My 870 has been prone to rusting. As a matter of fact, it seems that it rusts if you look at it wrong. I am not a someone who neglects my firearms either. It came from the store with rust on the reciever. Also has rust on the top of the receiver where the shooters thumb touches the metal. I ahve...

    Pawn Shop Rifle

    Too much for that gun. Absolutely true about few deals to be had a pawn shops, though I have found one exception. The following were all purchased at the same pawn shop over the last 2-3 years. 95% S&W 686+ 6" $429 LNIB Glock 19 3rd Gen $325 Exc Cond. Winchester 1300...

    Pondering a PX-4 storm in .40. What has been your experience with this weapon?

    Great Weapon I absolutely love my PX4 .40, it is by far my favorite pistol. I have had it for about two years and it is my dedicated HD gun. Only thing I don't care for is the current price. I paid $410 for the LE package imcluding 3 magazines.

    Remington HD (home defense) 12 gauge Shotgun Ammo

    Saw it too. I saw some at Dick's sporting goods today. They had the BB size shot and also "2X4" shot size both had a 1 1/8" payload in 12ga. Could anyone explain what 2X4 is?

    dumbest thing I've ever seen.

    Holy Crap! LOL I was laughing well before the UPS man came and delivered the kid's rifle. If you look close, when they log on to the website, there is a picture of a pistol gripped shotgun. The words on the red label for that shotgun read "Free additional magzine!" For a freakin' pump...

    Some ADs, Gear,Guns,or technique?

    Human Error I have seen relative gun novices at the range unload a pistol in the following manner. Rack the slide to see that cool little bullet fly out, then drop the magazine. HELLO! Maybe it's too many movies, they can't shoot for **** but they sure are good at racking that slide and...

    Softest shooting .40 Pistol

    Beretta PX4 Perhaps, it is just the way this pistol fits me, but the rotating barrel on the PX4 seems to do a great job. I have been a fan of the .40 S&W, my first handgun was a Ruger P94(aluminum frame) .40 I bought in 1999. I own a Glock 23, Glock 22, S&W Sigma, Sig P239 DAK, and a CZ...

    Question for Marines; Active, Former, Ret'd, etc.

    Odd Rule I went through Marine Basic Training and the School of Infantry 9yrs ago. I don't recall any rule of that sort. There are situations in which that rule could make sense. For instance, if you are standing sentry duty, or as is common now days, patrolling around civilians, it...

    Question for military people

    Kalishnikov-And your source is?.... Do not doubt what a well trained warrior, yes warrior can do with a weapons system. Be they Marine's, soldiers, airmen etc. Working the pits many times, I never witnessed anyone getting hooked up. You don't even know who is doing the shooting. All you...
