    Advice on 1911 Impulse Buy.

    I had been looking for a New .45acp. To make a long story short. I bought my FIRST 1911. It is a Ruger SR1911 with a [5] inch bbl. I am wondering most of all is it DEPENDABLE? Second is it Accurate? Also why is the the Trigger Ventilated? I have owned handguns for 38 years and this is my First...

    .40 S&W going the way of the dinosaurs?

    I have Some Prejudice AGAINST the .40sw I have to admit I own a lot of 9mm and .45acp handguns. I own ONE .40sw. I like the 9mm because with the right Ammo it is an EXCELLENT Defensive Cartridge. Multiple shots are easy, High Cap mags are so easy to get. [I have 20rd extended mags in my two...

    There are mags on Berreta's site also. They are a bit expensive. I got the 20rd extended mag's on the site for 50.00 each. :) Have a Good One! Frank.

    Color me... baffled. 92F vs. Hi-Power two great 9mm pistols

    I own Two Berreta 92's They are Big, that is for sure. I have small hands, but I have NEVER had trouble shooting them. They are 100% reliable. I like the fact they are Big and Heavy! Recoil is Not an Issue. Making follow up shots and multiple shots MORE ACCURATE. I do prefer guns with less...

    golden sabre .45 acp

    Last two posters-Good Point! I can say the same I have had NO failures of any kind with modern bonded ammo. Some of this can be attributed to using nothing but Modern auto-loaders. I would say we can surmise using quality guns and ammo is the best way to protect from failures. Also keeping...

    golden sabre .45 acp

    Bonded I would go with the Federal HST or Winchester Bonded. I believe the HST is probably Bonded anyway. [anyone have info on that?] I was in LE and the Bonded ammo prevents core, jacket separation. Which is something I want even as a civilian now. A lot of people will say it is just to...

    Capacity VS Caliber - Home Defense

    All My Pistols are Hi-Cap Mags. First off, I spent almost 9 years undercover LE. Never been in a Gun Battle that lasted 2 or 3 rounds. Either I am Trigger Happy [ which is entirely possible! ] or just NOT that Lucky! My HD and Car And Personal defensive Pistols are 9mm, .40 and .45acp. NOT ANY...

    9mm 124-grain +P ... so good?

    Best Penetrating Bullet in a 9mm is 147gr. Particularly the Winchester 147gr Bonded and 147gr +P bonded. Theses are Especially good in the Winter time up North Here where your Perp is Likely wearing Heavy Clothing. Another Excellent 147gr Round is the Federal 147gr HST-Does NOT Penetrate as Far...

    Serious .380 Ammo

    Get a 9mm I was in LE for years and you are under-gunned in any life threatening situation. Please just use a 9mm instead. The Best to you and Yours! Frank

    Home defense with a 1911

    Thank you for All the replies Gentlemen! To the people that replied in a Negative Manner real gun fights are NOT as easy as they may look on Television. For one example I have had to use a shot or two just to keep a person Pinned in a location so you do NOT lose track of them. I was undercover...

    Home defense with a 1911

    I an curious if anyone keeps a 1911 on their night stand for home defense? I have been apprehensive of doing such a thing because of the lower mag capacity. If you use a 1911 for Home Defense to you keep a spare mag next to it? Right now I have a Springfield XDM 9mm with 20 rds and a Taurus...
