    do you name your guns?

    I have a RIA 1911-A1. On another board there was a guy who insisted the heat treat on all RIAs was so soft they were dangerous and that no reputable custom smith would work on them. He kept at it in spite of any facts. My RIA became known as "softer-than-chocolate-on-a-hot-day" then was...

    Am I the only one here who doesn't like to "work on" his pistols?

    Yes and no. I absolutely hate it when a gun does not function properly out of the box. Makes madder than.... well, you get the idea. But seeing as how most manufactures today produce firearms with triggers that are much less than satisfactory I understand it will need some help. I enjoy fine...

    Privacy of Concealed Carry information

    I think it is a state by state issue. I know when crossing into Canada they knew all about my Oregon permit.

    Which 1911?

    I spent $500 for a new RIA 1911 A1 in May. A couple of hours of work tuning the trigger and it has every bit the feel and function of my buddies $2,500 Wilson. I have nothing but tune and polish the factory parts. It has worked flawlessly through the first 1200 rounds. I like it a lot.

    Do you reload?

    I started reloading around 1964 with a Lee handloader. Today there is a Dillon and two rockchuckers on my bench along with a home made arbor press and hand dies I made. . Aside from 22 rimfire I do not believe I have bought a box of loaded ammunition since somewhere around 1974.

    What all do you carry everyday?

    Full sized 1911 in an IWB holster. Milt Sparks VM-2 due here sometime in October. Pants go on, gun goes on. Pants come off, gun in reach.

    When name calling hits home!

    Funny thing is there are only a few out there making the fuss but they can make your life a little less than fun. I got spit on and called a baby killer and that was while I was a Navy diver in RI. Who would have thought those same people wouldn’t have grown up since ’69. Try to not let it...

    Drinking and CCW

    I think I would rather carry when I have my one beer and run the risk of having to explain myself to a court that stand at the pearly gates with my family and explain myself to God.

    Drinking and CCW

    I seldom drink and if I do it is NEVER more than one beer of one glass of wine and it is ALWAYS with a meal. I carry all the time including if I am having a beer. I do dot feel any effects on one beer and can drive without any problems after having one beer along with dinner so I still carry...

    Pulled over Ticket then Questioned?????

    If you ever get stopped again try this line, “Good evening officer, I have a CCL and I am carrying. How would you like me to proceed?” This is stated with your hands in plain site, something like the 10-2 position on the steering wheel. The officer will know you have a CCL sooner or later...

    Get nationwide concealed carry rights

    OK. I admit I am too stupid to understand anything about concealed carry and the issues that surround it. I make a sincere apology to Berek for my post and my stupidity. The only reason I posted in reply to is post was my own lack of moral fiber. This will be my last post. I will never...

    Get nationwide concealed carry rights

    Berek Let’s start over. I read the whole post, three times. I also read your last two posts. All of them. I will skip the bashing and name thing and forgive and forget. OK Now I am starting to see your problem with carrying. If I have it right, you do not like the fact that some states...
