    Are springfield 1911's series 70 or series 80 clones?

    Crossbreed Belts -vs- Beltman Belts???

    I have a 1.5 inch crossbreed belt and it serves my purposes fairly well. I can't help but wonder though if I shouldn't have spent the extra $20-30 and gotten the Beltman 1.5 inch bullhide belt. For those of you that have experience with BOTH belts, could you give me a rundown of what you...

    1911 safety question????\

    I've been thinking about buying a 1911 and I have a quick question for all of you 1911 aficionados. I really like the Springer 1911-A1 Loaded series in Stainless Steel. The one thing I don't like about this particular series is the fact that they come equipped with Ambidextrous thumb...

    Bit of a scare today, lessons learned

    Let me begin by pointing out that this happened during the one time I've left my house unarmed in the last six months since I got my permit. My family and I just returned from Missouri yesterday and I have two little kids. My Explorer was completely trashed and needed to be vacuumed out very...

    14 hour drive with Glock 19 and CB Supertuck

    Just finished a 14 hour drive wearing my CB Supertuck and my Glock 19. I have to admit, when I have heard people say in the past that they drive long distances wearing this thing, and that it's super comfortable, I was a little skeptical. But I really do have to agree. The last 3-4 hours...

    Texas CHL took about 100 days

    I took two boxes of this to the range today and had about 10 (10%) of them either need to be struck 2-3 times or just dud completely. I am usually not all that picky about what I shoot but I will never shoot these crappy rounds again.
