I don't often post but I thought I put in my $0.02...as you can tell by my screen name, I like Colt firearms a lot so bear that in mind. Is Colt dead? Definitely not. No company that is on its last leg puts out new models as Colt has done in the past few years. Yes, I know some are...

Well, thanks to chris in va, Phydeaux642 and MattTheHat for their suggestions. They seem to be the only ones who can make on-topic posts. And although not on-topic exactly, at least scottaschultz had something sorta related to what I was talking about. Now I remember why I don't post on THR...

loop, you've completely missed my point and once again a thread about bikes and guns is going off-topic. I am not talking about shooting someone over a sport drink. I am looking for a larger caliber and larger capacity gun for if/when I encounter something more serious than what I described as...

I found a couple of threads involving cycling and carrying but none really stayed on topic of recommended guns. So here is my attempt at it... A month or so ago I decided to start biking to work. It's 7 miles one-way and part of it is through a not-so-nice neighborhood. Now, I carry a...

Pics added Here are some terrible pics: Custom Combat 1 Custom Combat 2 Custom Combat 3

I recently purchased a "Colt Custom Combat 10" in about 95% condition. From what I have found, this was a limited run of 400 pistols in '88. I believe the finish is electroess nickel. Does anyone know if this information is correct? If so, from what I understand, cleaning an electroless...

I don't know of a specific site that deals with limited edition Colt's but you might want to post your question on www.coltforum.com

Let him know I don't know if this is legit, but I signed the petitition anyway. www.fred08.com BTW: You don't have to give your email, etc.

This is the post pathetic and stupid reason not to join the NRA and I am tired of hearing it. If you don't like the mailings, throw them away. They wouldn't send them if they lost money on it. Also, as has been posted on this thread AND COUNTLESS OTHERS you can get your name on the list to...

There is a difference between fantasy and stupidness. IMHO, Tarantino films are just plain ol' stupid. But to each his own.

While I don't think we should put too much weight on what a bunch of (pre)pubescent kids think nor do I think we should jump on their forum and start blasting away at them, we should try to educate youths if/when we get a chance. One day they will be of voting age. One thing that came to...

Labor costs will almost certainly be the most expensive part of manufacturing followed by R&D, advertising, materials etc, not necessarily in that order. This is the case with most any product, especially when unions are involved. This is not a jab against unions, this is just fact.

+1 To many in the media, there is nothing worse than a gun owner. According to them, the reason for every criminal getting the way he/she is can be traced back to some psychologically traumatic experience in their past. But we gun owners are just a bunch of dangerous nut-jobs that need to...
