    Massachusettes Election not a Pipe dream anymore!

    I spent several hours today at a standout for Scott Brown. The responses from passing drivers was overwhelmingly in Scott's favor. We've got a chance here. If you are in MA or a nearby state, now is your chance to get involved and help make history. Don't sit on the sidelines. Democracy is...

    Now is the time to step up to the plate

    Don't just give moral support. Give $$$. Scott Brown needs your donations to counter her allies (SEIU, Acorn, AFL-CIO, etc.).

    Now is the time to step up to the plate

    We need your help NOW in MA. Scott Brown is running for Senator. Scott is rated as A+ by the MA Gun Owners' Action League. He has supported gun owners in MA for many years, at great cost. He is running against Martha Coakley. Martha has never met a gun control bill that she didn't...

    Massachusettes Election not a Pipe dream anymore!

    Coakley never met a gun control bill that she didn't support. We can't buy new Glocks in MA because Coakley believes they are "unsafe." Scott Brown is rated A+ by the MA Gun Owners' Action League. Martha is rated a D, and that is incredibly generous to her. As a MA resident, I am begging you...

    Why carry a 1911 in Condition 1 over Condition 2?

    You might want to reread my post on that, because it appears that you completely misconstrued it.

    Why carry a 1911 in Condition 1 over Condition 2?

    I've owned and carried 1911s for about 20 years. I've never had to lower a 1911 hammer on live round, and see no situation in which I would need to do so. I'm not afraid to do it -- I simply see no point unless you are going to carry condition 2, which I'm not. You carry condition 2. Good...

    Why carry a 1911 in Condition 1 over Condition 2?

    Really? I still don't understand who one would ever need to decock a 1911.

    Why carry a 1911 in Condition 1 over Condition 2?

    I've been in the boondocks with my 1911. My 1911 stayed cocked and locked and was just fine. And cocking the hammer one-handed on a 1911 that has a beavertail safety is not high on my list of things that I want to do. If some folks want to carry condition 2, that's their business. I don't...

    Draw your weapon to fire or to scare away?

    IIRC, under certain circumstances Texas allows the use of deadly force to protect property at night. But I don't think any other state has a similar law.

    Draw your weapon to fire or to scare away?

    1-2 seconds for me to draw and fire, depending upon the range. If, during that time, Mongo sees my gun and decides that he has a pressing engagement elsewhere and turns to leave, I just might let him do that very thing.

    Owner of A.R.M.S. donates to anti-gun candidate, Martha Coakley

    I agree completely. Unfortunately, I believe he has won DOD contracts in the past.

    Owner of A.R.M.S. donates to anti-gun candidate, Martha Coakley

    My guess is that he is expecting Coakley to win (which she probably will) and he wants access to her to help him win DOD contracts.

    Why carry a 1911 in Condition 1 over Condition 2?

    rondog, please, explain to me when I would need to decock a 1911. When I load my 1911, I insert a magazine, cycle the slide, apply the safety, top off the magazine and reholster. When I need to unload the gun, I remove the magazine, lower the safety, cycle the slide to remove the round from...

    1986 Miami FBI Shootout

    At least one of the agents was a SWAT instructor, IIRC. And they had two agents armed with M16s, but they were a couple miles away in the toilet at the time.

    Owner of A.R.M.S. donates to anti-gun candidate, Martha Coakley

    A.R.M.S. also sued Troy Industries.

    Draw your weapon to fire or to scare away?

    I would only draw mine if I, or another innocent, was in immediate danger of death or grave bodily injury. If the perp ran off as I was drawing, great it is his lucky (and my) lucky day. But I certainly wouldn't count on it to scare the perp off, nor would I draw it with that intention.

    Why carry a 1911 in Condition 1 over Condition 2?

    I've read it. I'm certified by the NRA to teach Basic Pistol. I'm well aware of how to safely decock a 1911. I teach my students how to decock a double-action revolver because there really can be a situation where you might need to do that -- for example, you have cocked the hammer to fire...

    Owner of A.R.M.S. donates to anti-gun candidate, Martha Coakley

    It appears that Richard Swan and his wife Sharon have donated to the Senate campaign of Martha Coakley, the MA Attorney General. Ms. Coakley is very, very anti-gun. She continues to enforce vaguely worded "consumer protection" regulations that greatly limit the number of new handguns available...

    Won't Chamber When Muzzle is Facing Down

    Sage advice. Don't start by filing on the most expensive piece (the frame). Repair or replace the cheap parts first. 10 round magazines for 1911s are often of questionable reliability. While some folks like CMC magazines, I have never had good luck with them. If I were you, I would try a...
