    Alright, what do you all think 1911 decision?

    Targa Have had trigger time with both manufacturers and they produce some pretty decent guns. So are you looking to get another Government size pistol or are you interested in something a bit more compact, like Colt's Combat Commander with a 4" to 4.25" barrel? Some current prices of...

    Recap and Result - My MP-30 Build Disaster.

    NIce looking rebuilds! Always liked the look of the left side horizontal mag feed (the MP28, Lanchester, Sten, Austen, and Sterling come to mind) Two never before seen (at least by me), submachine gun conversions! Sorry to hear you had to go through so much hassle with the "builder".

    how did it start for you?

    The Night Rider I don't know about Vic Morrow having no use for guns; it was just that he truly hated lugging the 10 lb. Thompson around every day. Initially he had asked if he could have the lighter weight M1 Carbine (5.2 lb.), but that was already earmarked for Rick Jason (Lt. Hanley), to...

    Opinions on the perfect nightstand handgun.

    My nightstand gun has been and still is a SIG P229. I added a laser/light combo on it shortly after getting it. I like that the first shot is DA (it has the Short Reset Trigger) and that it has a decocker.

    Why Do You Carry A Gun?

    I carry mainly because I can't afford bodyguards to look after me and my family's protection 24/7.

    Just venting a little bit and man I am not a fan of Lena Miculeck right now lol…ugh

    Frulk Every time I see that Kimber Bel Air I think of the old High Standard Sentinel R-101 .22 revolvers in their Dura-Tone Color finishes: Gold, Silver, Red, and Turquoise. With their snub nose 2 1/2" barrels, faux ivory birdshead grips, and shiny finishes, they were probably "targeting"...

    My Latest Acquisition: Astra A-70

    While they were still being imported Astras and Stars were a great buy and solidly built.

    Two of S&W best ever

    Shanghai McCoy If I could have just one it would be with the 5" barrel. But a 3 1/2" barrel Model 27 would be next on my "Must Have" list!

    What's your preferred every day carry?

    For just bummin' around the house or the neighborhood, I like my Ruger LCP MAX. For most other times I prefer a Micro Nine like my S&W Shield Plus or a Glock G43X.

    I have a dilemma... trade into a like new ruger blackhawk stainless 10mm/.40 s&W

    Do the trade. You probably won't miss the .22 anyways and you'll be getting a much more versatile gun with the Blackhawk.

    Hypothetically what would be your choice: Uzi in 9mm w/ 16 Mags or Winchester Lever Action in 45/70 w/ 100 rounds of ammo?

    Always wanted one of those semi-auto Uzis since they were first being imported here in the states. Just never had the money while they were relatively affordable, now they're priced way out of reach. As far as the Winchester .45-70 is concerned don't really have a use for one and it would be...

    Trap gun for a beginner

    Scribner As far as I know the BT 99 is still being imported (made by Miroku, Japan) by Browning. Parts are still readily available for the BT 99 (made since 1969), and with the quality and reliability that go into such a solid performing shotgun, means you're going to get many years of trouble...

    Trap gun for a beginner

    Dedicated trap gun to me would be a decent, older, used Browning BT 99.

    Colt Series 80, Government .380

    Had one as soon as they came out. Great gun but I still wanted something smaller. Sold the Government .380 to my brother (he likes to collect pocket .380s and .32s). When I saw an ad for the new Mustang I knew this was what I had been waiting for! Have been enjoying it's accuracy, reliability...

    Two of S&W best ever

    For sure two first rate S&Ws though I would be remiss if I didn't throw the Model 27 (with a 5" barrel if you please) in the mix as well.

    S&W Masterpiece Fitz

    From "COLT AN AMERCAN LEGEND", R.L. Wilson wrote this about H.J. Fitz-Gerald: " The subtype which holds the greatest intrigue is the Fitz-Gerald Special. The inventor was a showman and a ballistics expert who worked for Colt's from 1918 to 1944. His somewhat autobiographical book "Shooting"...

    I guess I'll keep it

    Most definitely hang onto this one! If you need some extra room in the safe, kick out something else.

    Another "New" 1911.

    Looks like some sort of amatuer/gunsmithing assignment thrown together at the last minute. Nothing I would be interested in, now or in the near future. Hard Pass.
