    Citadel vs RIA 9mm...Buds has the Citadel cheap

    I would stick with the RIA. I don't like the front serrations.

    Auto-ordinance (thompson)45acp value???

    My father-in-law has one I tried to buy for $350 He said "No" The gun's value is what you and the other person decide it is. What others think shouldn't matter

    Never enough pics of wives and guns

    No pictures yet, but mine goes with me about twice a month. The first revolver I bought was an Interarms in .45 Colt. We took it to the range where I was to teach her to shoot. She shot a lot better than I did.:banghead: I didn't take her back to the range until I had practiced. We...

    Thoughts on a 1911 in .38 Super

    I bought an RIA GI Super .38 about two years ago and had a 9mm barrel installed. I enjoy the Super, but brass is a little expensive. That really isn't an issue for me though as I shoot at an indoor range. Recoil in the Super is not bad at all. The weight makes the difference. In .45 my...

    How'd I do. GP100

    Nothing wrong with the deal you made. You seem to be pleased with it and our opinion doesn't count. ;);) I have two of them, but don't recall how much I paid for either one. Like you though, I think I did fine on both.

    Mec Gar 1911 8rd 17-7 stainless

    Most of my magazines are the Wilsons. Mec-Gar makes some of the best out there though.

    I Pocket Knife: A Tale of Petty Tyranny and the TSA

    It isn't just the TSA. I can't carry a pocket knife at work. It is a terminable offense. We have allowed ourselves to become an abomination to the Founders through our laziness and our acceptance of things we knew were wrong. "But football is on" or "They can't do that" or "I really don't...

    Kel-Tec P 11

    Kel-Tec P-11 I use mine as a carry gun quite a bit. It is light, thin and has 11 rounds. This is definitely a "Carry a lot, Shoot a little" pistol. Recoil is stout and the grip is not a lot of help. The trigger is stiff but not unbearable. If you are looking for a range/play gun, I...

    .357 Mag, 45 acp Powders

    I use Bullseye for both. I don't load the .357 very hot as I only use it for paper. Seems to work well in both. It is a little dirty though.

    9mm Carry Ammo

    Since I work two miles from there: Georgia Arms 124 grain Speer. Not to much recoil from my Kel-Tec P11. And cheap enough to practice with.

    New grip safety on an RIA M1911

    The Wilson drop in works well on my .38 Super. There was a little fitting required, but it took only about 10 minutes. Esthetically pleasing as well.

    Building a Semi-Auto vs Buying

    If I may..... Why put all the work and parts into a gun You have already decided to sell? Build it like you want it, Shoot it as you wish. Sell it if and only if you absolutely must I spent the money to have a gunsmith build my commander. I have about $1300 in the piece and...

    By a long shot

    181 yards, head shot on a prairie dog with a Ruger GP100 4" barrel Yes, I had a witness. My father in law said there was no way to do that off hand. Two rounds later, it had been done.

    Anyone comfortably CCW a 5" 1911?

    I go with mljdeckard on this one. I carry a 5" IWB, standard belt, untucked, open shirt. Winter is easier. Summer is really no problem. I just have to THINK about my movements. It took about two weeks learning how to reach for things on a high shelf and pick things up from the floor...

    Knife at School!

    My word I feel old. During science class, we were diseceting frogs. There were not enough scapels to go around. The instructor told one student to use his pocket knife. Lo, the student did not have one. It was then I learned, "A gentlemen is not properly dressed without a clean...

    In Praise of Revolvers

    I have shot IDPA matches with both a custom built 1911 and a box stock Ruger Security Six. Given the results of those competitions and the fact that I retrieved all of the revolver brass, I'll stick with the Ruger. One competitor actually complained that the brass coming out of my 1911 was...
