    Toys 'R' Us: Boycott.

    I' sure someone is adding up those receipts that you all are sending in (no kids here!!) What must be especially galling to TRU are returned items. I'm sure those are even more striking because it shows that someone took the timer and effort to reverse a purchase. So keep it up.

    My First Accidental Discharge, I am Freaked Out.. Learning Lesson... Need Advice

    clance - got it - you didn't intend to flip off the thumb safety. And yes, the 1911 magazines sometimes get stubborn whrn inserting them, especially if the slide is forward. Still don't know why you feel the need to cram an 8th round into the pistol though... strambo - pulling the trigger at...

    Toys 'R' Us: Boycott.

    I would continue to vote with my wallet. As much as I can't stand wal-mart - they do sell pistol ammo for less than most. My problem with wal-mart is that they are not employee friendly (and at one time were sued by 38 states for discriminatory laboe practices). And the stores are usually a...

    My First Accidental Discharge, I am Freaked Out.. Learning Lesson... Need Advice

    This is to clance: I never heard of the requirement to have the thumb safety off when loading a magazine in any Colt model 1911. The manual dioesn't mention the need to take the safety off either. I'll check actual operation at home, but this sounds like an unecessary, unsafe step. What were...

    GPal issues

    I've been reading on other forums about how GPal is just about kaput, and that there might be criminal proceedings in the future. Any further info on this?

    Gun ownership procedure in other states

    NavyLT beat me to it, what I originally wrote is correct. You can also have it a case, glovebox, or any other closed container (not paper or easily torn plastic) such that it is not "immediately accessible". A Plano gunguard case is fine for compliance with FL law. I have a CWP (or whatever its...

    Gun trade in Florida thumbprint required?

    It may vary depending on the county, but my experience is that they want my thumbprint only if i am selling / trading something. And this is for ALL items, I traded some computer equipment a while back, and had to do the same thumbprint thing. I've used a pawnbroker / gun dealer, for several...

    Question about NICS delay

    Don't you have to be CONVICTED of a DV charge?? - this is getting to be more like 1750s Salem all the time. I know this comes up in security clearance checks, etc, and it will kill a miitary career, but I believe its only for convictions - am I wrong?? dogtown, I looked at that map, according...

    Which gun makes you feel like you own perfection?

    The M1 Garand rifle is one of the nicest looking weapons ever made. It was designed when asthetics were at least a part of engineering. Lugers are ok, but Garands, kick a$$ on lugers. While I like M1911s, they are often referred to as "the beast". I don't think so, but they are quite a...

    My first encounter with the gun community

    If you really are leaning towards a .45 ACP, there are many .22LR conversion kits for traditional M1911 style pistols. Marvel makes one which I'm considering getting for my wife who has never shot anything bigger than 22LR. I think the Marvel kits also fit the double stack magazines, like the...

    What is you vote for best service pistol for the money?

    One more thing: A lot of people do not consider 9mm to be a "serious" caliber. I have an M9, but prefer my Colts and M1911A1.

    What is the biggest POS with a most ridiculous price tag you ever seen at a gun show?

    They have shamwows at the gun shows?? :what: Whit I find particularly amusing are M1 Rifles that will swallow a muzzle gauge sitting in stocks that have NO DAS or Proof stamps, with a mix of worn finish or mismatched finish with over $1,000 price tags, when a field grade at the CMP is only...

    What is you vote for best service pistol for the money?

    The glock has no fixed safety - what was that quote again "cocked & locked - safer than a glock" M1911s are STILL being used and they are not being released as surtplus in any real quantities - especially when one considers that approx 2 milion were made over the years. So the M1911 IS...

    Gun ownership procedure in other states

    Derby has the top (worst) 5 states. If I had to rank then they would be: 1 NJ - WORST 2 MA - VERY restrictive - and i used to live there, but at least you can get a permit. 3 NY - NYC is just as bad as NJ, not state-wide consistency and i used to live there too 4 CA - stupid wait of...
