Yeah Pat, I wished I had gotten a pic of your 10/22; that was a funky sight set-up- AR front and rear sight on a picatinny rail system.

wenD - love the look on your face in that pic w/my AR- Ah the joys of the Evil Black Rifle... big capital 'E'; Gothic script... dripping blood even.
 
QuaterBG---I know! I have this innocent happy smile on my face (and a pony tail) and I'm holding this big EVIL piece of pure terribleness....(only problem is my trigger finger, oops)......anyway, I want an EVIL (with bats and black cats) toy now, too...
 
WenD,

I am glad you are the one who pointed out your finger on the trigger, it's good you know the fundamental safety rules, even if you forgot one in the all the fun.

I'm glad the inadvertant double on Labrat's Kimber didn't wig you out too much!

Might I respectfully suggest next time you go shooting, don't wear a deep neck T-shirt. I guess it didn't happen this time, but hot brass has a "Murphy's Law" aspect to it. According to other women shooters, nothing burns quite like brass falling "down there".

Until next time,

Last time I got burned was when a piece of hot 22 brass got flipped into my safety goggles against my cheek. I had a nice 22 lr shaped burn there for a few weeks.

madkiwi,---yes thanks for the suggestion...i avoided wearing a hooded sweatshirt (did this in the past and shells turned up in the washing machine), but will definitely wear a different shirt next time...don't want a hot brass down the shirt:)

I really liked both the kimbers, but i was certainly surprised by the light trigger pull on labrat's...I wasn't anticipating that I would accidentally shoot in rapid sucession...but i liked both guns a great deal (perhaps a heavier trigger is better for me)...
 
1911's are now my favorite handguns. My Kimber is rock solid, and I love everything about it.

I have a Sig Sauer P229 in .357 Sig that gets little range time. There's just something about shooting a .45 that warms the heart.

I know you said you were going to get a Glock, please reconsider! If God had wanted handguns to be made of plastic, he would have told John Moses Browning to make them that way!

madkiwi
 
oh please. Glocks are rock solid combat tupperware. :)
No matter what you feed them, they work.
Same can't be said for many 1911's, without lots of polishing and tuning.

hey, it was good seeing all of you there, now I can put a face to your names. Thanks to 1/4 bore gunner for letting me fire his tricked out AR with the sight. and I got to fire someone's .308 M14 - really nice. I also let some people fire my Benelli M1 12 ga, with slugs. and a few people declined, said they had been there and done that and didn't want the bruises.
Atek - I hope all the people you brought had a good time, it was fun letting them shoots different guns.

sorry I couldn't stay for the bar-b-que.

we'll have to do this again.

LOL!!! I think that was me, hehe.

WenD - I'm glad you had fun! It was great to have some other women there this time.

atek - I really enjoyed the FAL. Now I have to get one. I guess I have to move to Montana first though because I want to get a proper one.

madkiwi, oh man...don't confuse the glock-puchasing situation!:) it took me so long to narrow it down and it has been agony...if i can't make up my mind I will never end up buying one....and that's bad....I think I'll hold off on the Kimbers...don't get me wrong, they are beautiful guns, but I'm probably going to buy one after i buy a glock.
 
WenD,

Don't listen to Atek. Go to "The Dark Side".

Isn't she pretty?

Glock's are a lot of things, but good-looking? Glocks are popular with police departments because they are the low bidder! But serious cops that have to fire their weapons in action (SWAT) are using Kimbers and Springfield TRP pistols.

Our friend Kitiara likes her Glock, but she only bought it after she broke the mag release in her Kimber, after putting over 5000 rounds through it!

Sure, Glocktalk gets a lot of traffic. But 1911forum.com is a happier place. Nirvana in a handgun.

hehehehe. I'm evil.

madkiwi
 
YES! beautiful indeed, a piece of artwork, but this debate will only retard the purchasing process and end up leaving me without either! i was previously so happy to have arrived at a decision! ...EVIL...
 
just an observation I've made. Many people go from glocks to 1911's (inc. the kimber), few go from 1911's to glocks. Maybe you should get the kimber first. Put a few thousand rounds through it, and if you still feel the need to go plastic do so.

there's also the coast factor, if Kimber's were the same price, i'd probably do it (at least the first time around)

Yes, it is Fajan stock.

The rear sight is a bit more forward than I would think. However, it works ok. The front sight is a bit too thick. I think I'll change it to a thinner one.

Thanks,

-Pat
 
nice to see you guys.

Wend, buy a glock. I have owned over 50 weapons of all types. And I now carry a glock on my permit. 1911 TYPE GUNS ARE MY FAV AS WELL. hOWEVER. I have a fast v-8 at home. But I drive a new Volvo most the time. My point is this. the volvo does not need tuning, etc. It is done. So I play with 1911 type guns. But I use a Glock everyday. Stevo......
 
Sgt, I think that's probably great advice...I'd like a solid everyday piece that takes minimal care right now....and THEN I'll buy something more fun down the road
 
In the Day late, Dollar short department. I will probably be at Los Altos Gun and Rod this saturday for a couple hours in the early afternoon. Unless work demands that I be in the office
