    Rock Island or New Taurus 1911

    If you're in no hurry, you might want to wait until the new Spartans come out: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=216081

    Mythbusters...

    Love that show (and not just because of the cute redhead). Best thing on TV (which isn't saying much, but still...).

    Sig 228/229 differences?

    One cosmetic difference is the P228 has full-heighth cocking serrations while the P229 has half-heighth cocking serrations.

    SIG 239 conversion to 357 SIG?

    No, it's not possible to covert a 9mm into a .357Sig with a barrel swap. As mentioned, you could have converted a .357Sig (or .40) into a 9mm w/ a conversion barrel (not factory), but not the other way around. Once a 9mm, always a 9mm.

    I wasnt trying to troll.. or make a "hate" thread...

    I'd tread softly, R270...creating a new thread to complain about a previous one that got locked is probably not too smart and a good way to get yourself banned. But this isn't my sandbox and I don't set the rules, so do as you will.

    Sig 226, Sig 229 or Beretta 92FS Vertec

    Since you indicate you have hands that may be on the smaller side, I'd suggest the P229...I think, in the long run, you'll find it the most comfortable and, thus, enjoyable.

    Help me pick out my new 1911

    They no longer come with the large rollmark -- it's now a tasteful/smaller two-line lettering w/ the S&W symbol to the left of the lines. Here's an example.

    1911 SC and a Bobtail conversion

    I've seen a picture of one on another forum, so I know it's at least possible. How difficult and how expensive, I've no idea, however.

    Want to try FP-10 for a 1911.

    It's just about all I use (maybe some grease every now and then, just for variety). I grab a couple bottles at a time off their website (link above). Great stuff.

    How to shoot a Kahr

    "...but I'm thinking about keeping the K9 mainly for its nice size and I can get some good Kahr practice without beating up on my little PM9." I'd get rid of the the K9 -- and buy another 1911 -- and practice with the gun you're actually going to be carrying, the PM9. Rounds put through it...

    Hedley Pocket Holsters!

    Hmm, interesting -- well, glad I got mine (for my P3AT) when I did (about six months ago)!

    Opinions on new Smith & Wesson 1911s?

    Well, here's another "good thing" ;) : I have two, and they've both been terrific, reliable performers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

    1911forum

    I'm sorry to see it shut down...I'm still holding out hope it'll soon come back under new ownership. It was a wealth of information (both real and opinionated), and for folks like me who were just getting into 1911's, it was particularly informative and useful. And while I've read varying...
