Let Zumbo fund his own (re)education. If he wants to redeem himself it will be more legitimate if it did not occur in the lap of luxury.
Maybe he should experience a little of what the rest are going through, as we will all have to dig deep to preserve our right. Consequently, if we each...
I can only imagine what it will cost firearms owners to repel the advance which will surely result from the secular progressive community. How many millions of dollars will we collectively have to raise to defeat the group who better manipulates media and rarely has to pay for it. It is highly...
From a USA Today article...
"Air marshals carry automatic .357 SIG Sauer pistols with a 12-round cartridge. The bullets are hollow-point and expand on entering a body. "It's one of the most high-powered rounds you can put in a weapon," the second air marshal said."
Now, if we could just get...
Answering original question..
My post was also directed at the original question. After having visited Collectors and dealing with the staff I believe they are an excellent place to start on a hard to locate item. There may also be other shops that also have large inventories or specialize in...
I am of the opinion that...
Hi Powers should be in 9mm but I can see the benefits of .40 for those which have standardized on the round for personal/LE/Secuity type reasons. Further, I have to believe that the .357 SIG will greatly diminsh the service life of a Hi Power based on posts by Bruce...
You may check at...
Collectors Firearms in Texas or Simpsons Ltd in Illinois. Both have exellent webpages and I would be very surprised if Collectors did not have what you are looking for.
FWIW and respectfully submitted.
Last I read...
the JCP specified both an 8-round and 10-round magazine. Also, the P220 model in question has a Nitron over hardchromed barrel and phosphated controls. IIRC, the newer P220 frames are set up for DAK or DA/SA which also fulfills the requirement that the fire controls be...
You may consider the following 9mm's...
Browning Hi Power
CZ 75B
Walther P1
SIG SP2009
Smith & Wesson PC9 (5 or 6-inch barrel)
Smith & Wesson 952
Walther P5
Edited: I think a USP 9mm (Variant 9 - SA only) would be very interesting.
FWIW and respectfully submitted.
Another vote for the S&W
I voted for the Smith & Wesson because it is a excellent entry into the world of the 1911. I noticed you already own Smith & Wessons which means you have been satisfied with the company's products thus far. Yes, there are some 'issues' to the diehard purist, of which...
Three Kinds of Ammunition
I read a post awhile back by a Coast Guard Flyer and he stated they would have available three kinds of ammunition. The list would include a training round, a hollowpoint and a fmj round. This was necessary to allow them to fulfill their various roles. The...
Check the following links:
You should be able to locate the serial number information at:
Proofhouse.com.
In regards to literature for the new owner then I would recommend Stephen Camp's book which can be found at:
1911 Shooter's Guide
Respectfully submitted.
You may consider the following:
SIG P210
Walther P5
Browning Hi-Power
HK P7M8 or PSP
STI Ranger II
STI Trojan
SIG P225
SIG Pro with 'small grip and short trigger installed'
or if he can handle a slide mounted the I would consider the Smith & Wesson 952.
FWIW and respectfully...
In the price you are operating...
stainless steel is fine. My current 1911-style guns are stainless because they are shot and used and 'refinishing' is simplified with stainless guns. Also, the checkering is/was a little to agressive for my tastes as well. If the checkering becomes a problem...
The one I had shot excellent...
with Winchester USA 147 grain JHP as well as Winchester Ranger 147 grain ammunition. It was like shootign a laser. If I were to pick up a double-stack gun again then the SIG Pro series with the 'small' grip and short trigger is at the top of my list. I also...
