Well I'm taking a flight soon from Chicago to Oakland and I'm looking for a good fiction paperback to read on the flight. So I want to hear about some good stuff with lots of guns and gunplay :D I like a lot of Tom Clancy stuff but I think I've read it all. My favorite of his was Rainbow...

Haha I know I learned a lot of what to say and what not to say from years of lurking. After reading the thread title I kind of expected to see the body of text read something like "Just kidding I like XDs" or something like that. Anyway, on topic, I don't think anybody will argue that glocks...

Well, I think you guys have helped me resist the impulse sell/buy urge. I think I'll keep this one. I was actually a military history major in college and in the end this has won out. Just wanted to say thanks for all of the input, though. Ben edited to add: And you're also right, it can...

Thanks so much for the replies everyone. I should clarify some things, though, to help folks understand the situation a bit better. It would be cool if this were some sort of family heirloom, but unfortunately it's not. Quite the contrary, this pistol actually has some rather negative...

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I'm trying to decide if I want to sell it, but I have no idea if anybody would want to buy one in its condition, which is why I'm asking. I didn't think this question would be appropriate for the trading forums, though, so I thought I'd try here.

I hope this is the right place to ask this. If not, could a mod please move it to an appropriate place? This is a very old Colt 1911 (not A1) that was given to me by my father-in-law, and he got it from his father when he died. I recently put 100 rounds of WWB through it without any...

Thanks for all the responses so far, keep em coming. I have to add some more to the mix I guess. I'm looking at the Taurus, as well as a used Kimber Custom (not custom II, this one has no firing pin safety). Also, I could MAYBE stretch for a Springfield Loaded at the very high end of my...

Yeah Eric I see what you mean. I guess the main reason was because I don't want to have to use a tool to be able to field strip it, but I read the manual at STI's website and then messed around with my Colt a little bit taking the slide stop out under tension and it's not hard at all, so more...

Thanks for the responses so far. I guess I'm leaning toward the STI, although the RIA tactical is interesting. I don't see much of a need at this point for the adjustable rear sight on the STI, but is there really any downside to it? I guess it seems like the STI would make a pretty nice...

RIA, SA Mil-Spec, and STI Spartan. I know these are all at different price points, and the STI Spartan would be right about at my ceiling if I could get one for around $600 (dawson precision maybe). But I'm interested in which you guys think presents the best value. I have an old Colt...

Hmm I guess I disagree with that. I suppose I'm using the technical definition of an assault rifle instead of assault weapon, but I think there's an important distinction between either term and a machine gun. I know we're talking semantics, but I think this wording shows that we've...

Well if you actually know what an assault weapon is, ie select fire, intermediate cartridge, etc, how many crimes are committed with one that has been legally obtained? Are there any? I don't know but I would imagine it to be ridiculously small. Why is it so hard to get people to understand...

I hope this isn't a duplicate thread, I browsed through real quick and didn't see anything else. I just wandered over to HK-USA this morning over breakfast and saw the HK45 and HK45C listed there under civilian products for the first time (first time I've seen them at least, and I've checked...

What an issue to stop lurking for. I live about 5 minutes away from this shopping center, although my family has been away this weekend visiting relatives. I'm very sorry for the families of those who were killed. This is obviously just speculation, but the thought occurs to me that the...
