    Choice of 3 pistols for aging person, least amount of recoil

    I would go to a well stocked gun store and look at pistols in 9mm and 380. In 380 land avoid direct blow back pistols. See what feels best in your hand.

    Colt Defender (1911) Take-Down and Reassembly

    Yup. If you have an older one, or older new springs you are using for replacements then there was a time when the larger front spring was directional and the open end went to the front of the pistol. Fortunately Colt fixed this at some point. The issue was there on my 2002. Here in a picture...

    One 1911 for collection - STI Trojan or colt

    Colt would be better for a safe queen. Maybe a new Series 70 or new Series 70 GCNM. Both a little over $1K.

    I shoot at several indoor ranges and have found there are good and less good times to go. Friday evening is sort of a less good time.

    S&W Model 66-2

    Interesting. I have a 4 inch 66-1 I bought used a couple years ago and it had some aftermarket grips on it although the original grips were in the box which I also got. I put the original grips back on it. The bag for the aftermarket grips had a receipt dated June 1980 in it. It is serial...

    Thoughts on small-radius firing pin stops for 1911s?

    I am also a fan and will end up putting them in more of my 1911s.

    Recommend a .380acp

    You might try looking at videos by Hickok45. He has tested a bunch of the little 380 pocket pistols. I got a S&W Bodyguard and agree with about everything he says about it. I am O.K. with the trigger but do not like it and my wife loves it.

    I don't get GB !

    When you have an international audience then some things are going to sell silly high. To you it is a used cheapo Glock 17 but to somebody else it is the gun Dad carried or something like that.

    Tanfoglio Witness 1911

    I have been thinking of getting one. I got one of the "Colt Defender" units from Midway and have been having fun plinking in the house with it. Here at a target at 12 yards.

    BLR in 308

    I keep my eyes open for them when I am browsing gun stores. I would like to find one in 30-06 but 308 would be nice also.

    10/22 International value

    At one point I had a couple of them. Below flanking a Ruger No. 1 International. I sold one to a friend for $300 a few years ago and still have the one that shot best and with the best stock.

    Need advice on which AR to get (between two)

    Of those two I would get the S&W. Another one I think is pretty good and I have seen it on sale in the mid $500 area is the Ruger AR-556.

    Taurus PT 1911 9mm Stainless

    Also suggest different mags first and if that does not help you may have to send it back.

    Do you like checkering on a 1911?

    Also this discussion brings back memories of the old Safariland pistols.

    Do you like checkering on a 1911?

    I can take it or leave it. I have 1911s with checkering and 1911s without it. Also lets not forget grooving the front of the grip on 1911s.
