I’ve got 5 grandkids between 2 and 8 years old that want to open everything when they visit. It’s not an in drawer type but I’ve used this Gunvault mounted to the side of my nightstand for years and been pleased. Very secure while being easy and fast to access if necessary. Not sure if the...

Didn’t buy it, but won it at a charity skeet match before Covid shut things down. CZ O/U 12 gauge.

Retired early 4 years ago and initially shot a lot more. Prior to retirement I shot a little IDPA & USPSA as well as occasional target practice at the range. Post retirement we moved closer to the grandkids which also happened to be 30 minutes from an excellent outdoor range with rifle (100-1000...

A few years ago a coworker and I were developing a piece of property for our company. Before we could begin our development we had to demolish an existing branch bank that was on the site. After the building was torn down all that was left was the foundation with a huge walk in safe sitting...

STI Tactical 4.0 in .40 with tritium night sights and a Streamlight 3. Kept in a Speed Vault mounted on the side of the nightstand.

I've had an Escort for about 4 years although mine is in 9mm, not .45acp. It's been boringly reliable and with the alloy frame makes for an easy carry. Mine hasn't had any ammo issues. I've used Speer Gold Dot and Hornady Critical Duty with no issues. For the range I've run WWB, Atlanta Arms...

My favorite pair.

When I got married my wife didn't like dogs or guns. Fast forward 25 years and we have two dogs and his & her gun safes. It can take a while, but persistence pays off!

I agree that there's a big difference between planning and hoarding. It's my responsibility as a good citizen, husband, and father to be prepared. I'm not talking about a stupid zombie apocalypse, but having lived near the TX gulf coast for 30 hurricane seasons you should be prepared. Even...

I've had an Escort for three years and it's been excellent, but then I'm an STI fan and own a dozen of their 1911s/2011s in various sizes and calibers. The Escort is in my carry rotation (along with 2 other STI 1911s) and has proven itself to be a very accurate and reliable pistol. The aluminum...

STI out of Georgetown, TX. I've been a junkie of their 1911s/2011s for years and they've always gone above and beyond for me. When they say "lifetime warranty" they mean it.

1943 Remington Rand 1911A1 that belonged to my Dad. In addition to the sentimental value it's the pistol that got me addicted to 1911s.

Two primary pistols in my rotation. STI Guardian (9mm) in a Crossbread Super Tuck Deluxe IAB holster STI Rogue (9mm) in a custom TT Gunleather IAB holster

Hello forum members. My son is interested in a 3.3" Springfield XD-S in .45 ACP. Anyone have any experience with the post recall version of this pistol? He's an experienced shooter and has a couple of 1911s, a Sig P226, and a Ruger GP100 revolver. I'm a 1911 guy so I can really offer much advice...

I've purchased several thousand rounds of both 9mm and .45 ACP from Atlanta Arms over the last few years with no complaints. Can't speak to .357, but I've never had a round fail that I can recall and I would call it average when it comes to clean/dirty. I've never shot any through a chrono, so I...

As you can see from all the posts there are a lot of opinions on mags and that's probably because we all find the mags that work best in our pistols. Given the 1911's somewhat finicky nature when it comes to mags finding the ones that work best in your pistol may not be what works in mine...

IMHO the boys at STI down here in Texas make some very nice 1911s, but I own a bunch of them so I'm just a little biased. I've been shooting STI pistols for recreation and in competition for years and have never been disappointed. While I don't have an Electra, I do have several of their smaller...

ArchAngelCD - Thanks for reviving this thread. I'd never seen the California lists (banned and approved) and like you was stunned! The anti gun folks have been very busy this year with 6 pages of banned handguns. It's clear when you look at the list that the ultimate goal is the ban of all...

STI Guardian in 9 mm. It's my primary carry and an excellent range gun. Like all my other STI pistols it's smooth, reliable, and accurate.

Absolutely agree with earlier posts of barrel fit being most important. I'm sure match grade barrels from the brands mentioned above are outstanding, but a match barrel that isn't fit properly to the bushing, slide, and frame is nothing more than an exercise in spending money. Frankly most...
