I recently bought a Sig Carry Fastback 1911. It comes with two 8-round magazines, but the magazines have bump pads on the bottom. I really want to pick up some flush-fitting magazines for CCW purposes. Does anybody know if these Wilson's will fit flush? Wilson Combat magazines I've...

I have my Officers' Model and Sig Carry 1911 for CCW duty. I've been keeping a Taurus 24/7 in the nightstand lockbox for HD duty, but because the .40 S&W bug just hasn't caught me as much as I thought it would, it just sits there. I've been thinking that I wouldn't mind selling the Taurus (not...

First off - I want to thank everybody for their help and advice. I had narrowed my seearch down to three models: The Sig Carry Fastback, the Smith and Wesson E Series Round Butt Scandium, and the Kimber Super Carry Pro. It's possible that I erred by being too cautious but based on most...

As I said in another thread, I've been on the hunt for a Commander-sized 1911 for a while now. All the local shops think that Colts are worth their weight in gold or something. Comparing features of several models, I'm leaning toward one of the following: Sig Sauer Carry Nitron Fastback...

I've been in the market for a new Commander-sized pistol for CCW and maybe home defense. I'd love to be able to bring home a new Valor, but my pockets just aren't deep enough. I saw that Sig has a bobtailed Carry with a rail that looks like it would be a fine choice for what I'm looking for. I...

The first 1911-pattern handgun I ever fired was an older Kimber - TL, I think it was. It had a 4" barrel, anyway. When I fired it, it just felt really good in my hand. I didn't own a 1911 at the time, so when this used Series 80 Officers Model came around I jumped at it. I like it, but I...

Recently, Mrs. Ceetee and I were out shopping in an area thirty minutes away from home. We were in her car, a well-maintained and new-looking Acura. I was driving. We live off the highway, around four miles down a narrow, winding road. Despite the twisty-turney conditions of the road, it's...

I originally bought this 24/7 Pro in .40 S&W a few years ago. Brand new, it ran through a box of ammo with no problems. Shortly after, it started to develop nosediving problems. There were a lot of problems coming to light with .45 magazines at the time, so I sent the mags in and got new ones...

I finally got a chance to run by a local range to see if this old gal worked or not. I had 50 rounds of Federal 230 gr ball, 20 rounds of Federal 230 gr JHP and 20 rounds of Magtech 165 gr SCHP. I'm pleased as heck to report that all ammo fed and fired fine (with one exception that I'll touch...

Good buy, or not? - Now with 300% more photos! I have the opportunity to buy a Series 80 Colt Officer's Model, serial # FA27XXX. It comes with the original box, and two original magazines, only the manual is missing. It shows a lot of minor scuff marks to the Parkerized finish, and looking...

This is for the poster who compared 1911's and Glocks with Obi-Wan and Darth Vader... :D (See my previous thread.) I was at the gun show this morning handling some shootin' irons. For some reason, the fantastic plastic guns just didn't strike a chord with me. Also, there was a dearth of...

Drove just over an hour this morning, to get to the only gun shop around with a really good selection of range rentals. Being in the market for a new CCW pistol, I wanted to shoot a whole bunch of ammo through a whole bunch of different guns, and see what I liked best. I brought with me 200...

Will the Kadet slide and magazine fit onto a PCR or P01 frame?

I learned to shoot a handgun using an old Model 19, and my very first self-defense handgun was an original no dash 686 I picked up back in the 80's. I carried that revolver for a while, but soon bought a compact .40 (a CZ100). I carried the CZ for nearly 10 years, but never really warmed up to...

I'm going to be buying a .30-06 bolt rifle. The main purpose is just to fill a void in my closet. And because this is still America, and I can, dammit. I'm interested in a 3-9 variable with some kind of bullet-drop compensating reticule. As I'm poking around on here, Arfcom, Optics Talk... I...

I ordered most of the parts last February. The last thing to arrive was the upper, which came in last week one day after my birthday (woulda been on my birthday, but they needed a signature...) First, I had to promise my 12-year-old daughter that I wouldn't put it together without her... then...

The stuff for this project was all ordered back in late February. Most of it arrived in the following few weeks. The biggest pieces, though, didn't come in until just this past week... Just in time for my birthday! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Coincidence? Here's how it all looked as it...

Thank you Chris Muir! Day by Day

I don't know a whole lot about that law, but I see this as one small bit of good coming from an area that's long been known for it's anti-gun politics. For example, see the highlighted quote... So even though Commissioner Greene feels well qualified to have a gun (despite the fact that...

At the last gun show, there was a guy with a whole table full of these red dots, and full-length scopes for salea. The prices seemed comparable with most other middle-of-the road scopes and sights (no better, no worse). He said that everything is made in one of the former com-bloc countries -...
