My favorite carry gun right now is a GP100, 4" fixed sight stainless, but with the large grip. I also have a square butt S&W Model 36 no dash in a pocket. The GP has a liquid smooth 7-1/2 # DA trigger, is accurate, and the .357 will take the fight out of anybody. I don't have any trouble...

Sunday morning, I fired two 158 gr. Hydra Shocks into a kevlar vest at 15 yards. They expanded completely, penetrated well, and retained nearly all of their weight. The Extreme Shock and GDHP did not expand in this informal, nearly meaningless test.

I compete with my 625JM every week and really love it! I also love the grooved trigger. It's not for everyone, but I find that I obtain and retain an exact placement of my finger on the trigger with it. I swapped the gold bead for an SDM fiber optic front sight, and find it to be a real...

My son uses a GP100 in ICORE and USPSA. His gun has replacement grip inserts from Lett, a Bowen Rough Country rear sight and a Marbles fiber optic front sight. Other than that, I replaced his trigger return spring with a lighter one, polished the trigger group, cut 4 coils from the mainspring...

It was in the neighborhood of $350. I actually had two guns smithed at the same time, the other a stainless Mil Spec. I am going to the range tonight to start breaking this one in. I shot a defensive pistol class with the stainless last weekend, and it performed flawlessly. The slide on this...

I decided to have my GI model refinished. I really like the way it feels and shoots! I may have spent a bit more than I originally intended, but I ended up with exactly the gun I wanted. This is what I ended up with: Springfield GI Mil Spec, Novak low mount tritium sights, Springfield...

If you read the info on this official site, it will tell you how much these guys shoot, and why a 1911 will probably be selected. The armorers have been building their guns for years, often on a Springfield slide and frame. This info is interesting, but nothing new has happened since January...

Both are good mags. The choice comes down to which works better in your weapon. I have a Kimber TLE that doesn't play nicely with Wilson mags., although they work well in my other guns. I use mostly the Power Mags., just for consistency, but I doubt you'll go wrong with either. The only...

I use a Slide Guard for every gun I carry. They are very well-made, fit nicely, and carry well. For a full size 1911, the holster carries the pistol very high for easy concealment. I don't think you'd be disappointed with their products or service, but don't pay extra for next day shipping...

I'd like to respond just to your question about guns and children. First of all, teach them the Eddie the Eagle protocol. The NRA sponsors this, and it is taught in most public schools here in Oklahoma. Teach the children that WHENEVER they see a firearm to: 1) STOP, 2) DON'T TOUCH, 3) LEAVE...

Overtravel.

I agree that the GI Mil Spec is one of the best firearms values around. Here is a pic of mine after some mods. It is now being refinished, after the metal work left some exposed metal. I thought it would be a good excuse to try some ArmorTuff. For the purists, please note that I didn't buy...

With the brush of my thumb, I have 8 to 9 rounds of .45 power using only 4 lbs. of trigger, EVERY time. I would never knock a Sig (I have 3) or a Glock (my wife has 2), but the grip of a 1911 is an almost perfect fit for the majority of shooters, the trigger doesn't change from first to second...

I used to carry my 229 year round. Now, I carry a 5" 1911 year round. The 1911 is enough thinner that it is easier to conceal. I carried the 229 in a High Noon Slide Guard OWB at 4 o'clock, under an untucked shortsleeve shirt. When it gets really hot here in OK, I wear a coolmax tank under...

Take a look at packing.org. That site will tell you what states recognize the non-res. permits from other states.

The Ruger emblem is missing. It should begin five lines down from the top.

You've already got the best handgun in the 1911 :D , why not try an AR or maybe a Garand? After all, you would really rather have a rifle in a gunfight, anyway, right?

I, too, don't like carrying IWB. I carry a 5" 1911 year round in a High Noon Slide Guard on a Don Hume belt or in a kydex paddle if I'm wearing a suit. In the summer, I wear a tshirt under an untucked button-front shirt and never have any probs., even on 100+ degree OK summer days. I'm about...
