    New to 1911, are nosedives common?

    I've never dealt with Taurus customer service, but go ahead and contact them and advise them of what's going on. Hopefully they'll email you a FedEx return label so you can send it in for repair.

    Yeah, the K31. Had two of them. They kick like a mule, but very accurate.

    1911 on a $600 budget

    ANY 1911 can have problems. I've been at ranges firing away with my RIA Tactical while guys with Kimbers and Wilson Combats cuss on either side of me while clearing jams from their $1500+ guns. I've had great Springfields, but had a S&W 1911 that was a chunk 'o junk. Go figure. I currently...

    Help Me Understand So I Don't Be A Fudd

    I don't know for sure....but the true "idiots" who "shouldn't" be carrying a gun probably already are regardless of what the law does or doesn't say. Allowing everyone to carry might simply "level the playing field" which already exists. But, I also think that everyone who is going to carry...

    Similar to sportsman guide?

    Interesting...again, I ask where did you find the same items for less...free shipping? And who did you use that did not jack their prices up during the panic? I'm always looking for ways to save money, so can you provide an example of how you saved money by going through someone else? Just...

    Similar to sportsman guide?

    I have dealt with them for quite a while. I do not know if their ammo prices can be beat by anyone else IF you take into consideration shipping charges. Ammo locally is more expensive and plus you add sales tax...IF you can find the ammo you want. Other sights offer free shipping if you order...

    Magnum Research DE1911C

    "I've heard these are great guns for the price. If it weren't for the billboard on the slide they'd have probably sold tons more. " Yeah, they definitely want everyone at the range to be able to see who made it. Really, it doesn't bother me too much. "and I painted the front sight white...

    Magnum Research DE1911C

    Order it through Buds Guns on Dec29 and arrived on Jan 8th. It a Magnum Research DE1911C...a Commander size (sort of.) Will not have a chance to shoot it for a few days. The weather isn't being too cooperative. Upon taking it out and wiping it down, the fit and finish seem good. The...

    I don't get buying guns online.

    This past I Friday I picked up the 1911 I ordered from my FFL. Having read other posts about how much other FFLs charge, and the fact that some FFLs refuse to do it at all, I made it a point to sincerely thank him. He said "Hey, it's $25 I didn't have a minute ago." I told him I still...

    I don't get buying guns online.

    I buy quite a few online. Recently I bought a 1911 on line. The shipping was free. The best price I could find locally was about $100 over the online price. Plus I would have had to pay 8.25% sales tax locally which would have been over $50. My FFL does transfers for $25. So...$100 + $50 =...
