    What's so special about a delta elite?

    Well a 1911 can be set up by a custom gunsmith to handle a 10mm as well as any other design. the 1911 design has immense strength if details in geometry and material for critical parts are selected for the task. Precise hand fitting of modern steel parts with attention to geometry that very few...

    Webley mk5

    Yeah an uncut Mark V in great condition is worth $1200 , at least these days. They are the first Nitro Proofed Webleys I believe

    Nighthawk Shadowhawk 10mm

    Excellent buy and choice. A well set up 1911 by a master gunsmith custom 10mm is not hard on the gun. The 1911 format is amazingly strong. It is just hard to set up perfectly with top grade steel by a non master of the format

    Do You Change Your Every Day Carry When Going On Lengthy Out of State Road Trips?

    I go to a 10 round capacity mag gun when going into capacity reduced states that I feel safe to pass thru . Since I don't have CCW for most of those they should be locked away in the hidden truck safe. Some places I completely avoid. Some you can't on trips. Also my less than ten round guns...

    Colt New Frontier .357 7.5 Nickel (I put in an offer)

    I sold my .44 spl NF Nickle on Gun Broker for $2200 in 2021 . It was in a Colt display case but I had put a hundred rounds thru it and it cleaned up like new. I could not say "unfired" . The thing shot like a python , it was 7.5" 1979

    Pistol brace's. Still for sale?

    I was un paranoid enough to get quick free SBR approval on all my "braced" hokey work around stuff. Best move in a long time I made. If I want to cross interstate with any of them just remove the stock on a former sold as factory pistol in states legal to have such dangerous devices.

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    Exactly ! Say sure I have the right to walk down a dark street in a known crime area late at night. But how would it be accepted if a teen aged ethnic gang attacked me and I opened up my coat and took on a dozen or more with say a legal SDMP5 and a belt full of magazines? Guess who gets national...

    AR15 Barrel Length Study

    Well for me it comes to same coclusion as I have that the hassle free 16" with or without suppressor is about optimum. I came to that conclusion before 1980 with my Colt CAR 15 SP1 . I never liked any barrel on an AR below 11+" and the 16" non NFA barrel seems perfect for field use. I have...

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    I never shopped at Walmart I did spend about $100K in training last 40 years, before that got paid for it .

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    Take aways that reinforced what I learned in 50+ years: Don't back pedal, ever. Martial art foot work sliding steps backward work on Dojo floors, only. The lateral getting off ex works and training secrets will install the methods for application as correctly discussed. Never walk onto any...
