Here are some tests and interesting pictures: Printed Receiver

I took my CCW class using an Airweight 38. After 100 rounds the web of my hand was bleeding in a number of places. The stock rubber grip was a real punishment. Anyhow, I had a similar situation when my own mother wanted a handgun. The guy at the gun store had talked her into an M&Pc in...

My wife wouldn't carry any of the first two guns I bought 'for her': Taurus 111, Kahr CW9. She says they're far too big and bothersome to keep on her person. She chose the third gun and will at least take it with her sometimes: Ruger LCP with a laser. So, 'no' choosing a gun for her typically...

I'm surprised to find that you are indeed correct. They removed that safety! Photo #10 in this guns and ammo article shows a photo of where the safety used to be: why-they-changed-the-1911-smith-wesson-1911-e-series-review/ I have a SW1911ES, which is a couple of years old and in the same...

Yes they absolutely do! The block is deactivated by the grip safety vs the trigger like in series 80.

1911ES absolutely DOES have a FPB. Unlike the series 80, the S&W uses the grip safety to disengage the block. When you hold the gun, a lever attached to the grip safety deactivates the block on the slide. This method does not interfere with the trigger system as the series 80 is known to...

It means the permit holder must be a resident of the state that issued the permit and the issuing state must have a reciprocity agreement with CO. So, the California resident with a Utah permit won't be legal in Colorado. However, the Utah resident with the same permit is legal.

Two months shop time tells me they have A LOT of returns.

My SW1911ES will go around 200-300 before I start to get failures to go into battery. I've replaced springs, so that isn't the issue. My suspicion is that the aluminum alloy is prone to accumulating residue and it fouls the slide. Near the ejection port I see a buildup that can literally be...

Not bad. I've seen several duracoat finishes that look decidedly lumpy. This looks like it lays down nice and flat/smooth.

Oddly enough, ArmedBear's method is precisely what my parents did to me. Well, almost. They didn't own any guns, nor were any around the house. The rest is on target: I wasn't allowed toy guns, not even squirt guns really. Anything that looked like a gun was promptly confiscated. So, my toy...

The letter with the DVD says exactly that: We sent it, you didn't order it, keep it for free if you'd like. If you don't want it, send it back, or give it to a friend, or just accept it as a gift. They spell all that out in the letter with the video. They are absolutely up front about it and...

ummm. . . eewww? :uhoh:

That $524 was in 1978. In today's dollars you actually spent $1704. In other words; accounting for inflation, what cost $524 in 1978 would cost $1704 today.

I don't see any prices on the web page. Do you know what they are for Tactical Dynamics?

swmed, you say it went in the front and out the back. Do you have any info on what it hit on the way through? You say 'lots of fluids', does that mean a major artery, or the heart, or something else? Ayoob, if you've ever read his accounts, generally qualifies SD shootings with this...

My wife took the 'Womens CCW' class to avoid 'rambos', as she put it (there's another one: male gun enthusiasts are all Rambo wanna-bes). Anyhow, her class of women were nearly all frightened of guns and yet they're in a CCW class! She left with the sincere hope that most of those women avoid...

Welcome to the Hotel California. . . er, but it's not actually IN California, . . .or something like that (saving up for an AR myself :uhoh:).

Yeah, well, if I'm in the wrong situation I don't think I want to worry about whether I'm committed to my slide energetically enough. Anyway, it's my wife's gun and she isn't enthusiastic about practice to begin with. She'd be better served by a machine that chambers a round because the slide...

This isn't home defense, directly, but my experience last night was revealing. I'll start by saying I have a shooting range in the yard and I do lots of drills with my CCW 1911. I'm definitely just an amateur with it, but shooting that gun has become a very comfortable exercise. I've got a...
