Back from the past Hello, folks, Joined up a while back but never too active here - thought I would rekindle some interest and maybe learn a thing or two...I'm a 1911/Colt Python addict though I do have a few other flavors and some long guns I enjoy. DD

I highly recommend: http://www.thebeltman.net/ Can't beat them. DD

Are grocery stores responsible for obesity? DD

That's great. Every time I even hear the subject brought up, people are generally advised NOT to apply...because once you are turned down, you have to put on every application for the rest of your life that, yes, you were once turned down for a permit. Good job............ DD

I would suggest a simple digital timer be placed on each range and activated when the shooter takes the lane. Here's the reason.....some ranges around here charge a flat fee for unlimited time, unlimited guns. Others charge $XX per hour PLUS $XX for each extra gun. I can see the advantages in...

Hi Folks, I have read a million posts from people frustrated with a new handgun that is unreliable, and have had the manufacturer tell them it requires anywhere from 2-500 rounds to "wear-in". First of all, a wear-in period should NOT be necessary, especially if you only find out about it after...

If someone is nice enough to let me shoot their gun, I take it as a supreme compliment, but it doesn't always mean I will let them shoot mine. If I do let someone shoot one of my guns, I insist that they use my ammo and magazines. DD

I had a ND charge once, with a Glock 23, on the very day I bought it. Like the OP, I was preoccupied and don't even recollect what I did to chamber a round. I was ready to put it away and wanted to de-cock it, so I pointed it downwards into a trash can and pulled the trigger.....BOOOOOOM...

I've been to a couple of weddings carrying concealed. Had a couple of glasses of champagne, too....but certainly didn't get drunk. Had a great time. No one ever had any idea I was carrying, and they still don't. I don't really understand people that carry concealed and feel that other...

Bobtailed Pistol Dynamics Scout: Beretta "King Ranch" Model Silver Pigeon: Colt Python, tuned and customized by Cylinder and Slide; finished in NP3: Noveske N4 Light Carbine: Colt Sauer Sporting rifle in 30-06:

Stuff it with crumpled up newspaper and close the door for 24 hrs. That should do it. DD

Ike, I'm thinking you might know this already, but the HGCA shows (there are two a year, I think) are actually pretty enjoyable. They are at Reliant, and there's one this month (Sept 18-19). No bets on great prices, but the amount of gear is usually amazing. DD

I would hold out until you hear from at least fifty people, and get their input. Wouldn't want to just throw ten bucks down the toilet...... DD

Now you can tell folks about your SECOND encounter with the gun community. DD

Just keep in mind that there is more to shooting sports than just having a gun. Like the old saying goes, buying a guitar doesn't make you a guitarist. There trigger control, acquisition of sight picture, breathing, stance...lots of aspects of the sport that you would do well to learn and...

I carry a Gunsite CCO, and I can't imagine a better carry piece, but, of course, they are very hard to find and you indicated you didn't like alloy frames anyway so......I hear GREAT things from owners of the M&P .45's...I'd have a look at those if I were in the market. This guy does some custom...

We don't have "gun shows" any more...but no one would show up if the called them what they REALLY are - "Chinese Knife and Beef Jerky Show". DD

I vote for a Browning BL-22....the little lever action .22. It's a great little rifle he will love for the rest of his life; and it's scaled down so small it should easily fit him right now. These things are a blast to shoot !! Of course, you are the one who will have to judge if he is...

I couldn't agree more that in the case of a pistol you intend to carry, an evaluation period of a couple of hundred rounds are in order......but that is distinctly different from blowing a few hundred bucks worth of ammo through it just to "wear it in" to the point it is reliable. It seems like...

It sounds to me like you are not talking to the right people. If you bought it retail from a gun shop, they should intercede on your behalf. If not, you need to get through to someone high enough on the pecking order at Sig. It's ridiculous to proceed from the notion that you need to basically...
