    News story on Arizona's gun legislation

    The following is posted on a blog at a newspaper in a rural Arizona town... On Monday, the 99th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s adoption of John Browning’s Model 1911 pistol, the Arizona senate passed landmark legislation helping to ensure the rights of the state’s gun owners remain secure...

    What sidearm for NRA Convention...

    I'll be at the NRA Convention in Phoenix this weekend. I've settled on taking my old Kimber Custom that has been rebuilt and was refinished last year. It has almost all Ed Brown, Cylinder & Slide and Wilson parts now. It is high polish all around with a nickel slide and deep blue frame and...

    What are range fees where you live?

    I complained about our range doubling its annual membership, going from $35 to $75 a year and was immediately chastised by a club officer. He told me that our member fees are cheap and that the daily fee for guests of $10 is also very inexpensive. We have a very nice outdoor facility that...

    Warranty issue question

    I notice quite a few people saying they send their guns back to the companies for repair or adjustment. I'm wondering why more people don't buy guns that are from Davidsons. They give a lifetime guarantee the gun will function properly and offer a replacement gun if the one you get...

    Open carry

    I know the subject has been beaten nearly to death, but since it became the theme of another thread about Ayoob I thought it may deserve its own thread. Also, because I live in rural Northwest Arizona where open carry is quite common, I have a bit of trouble understanding what the commotion...

    The message said an explanation would be forthcoming, but I can't find it.

    Gunsmith thanked me for "letting" him work on my gun

    I meant to post this about a month and a half ago when it happened, but real life got in the way... My Kimber Custom that I bought more than 10 years ago and has been my primary carry gun for that time and shot an average of two IDPA matches a month since was getting to look pretty worn. I...

    Tupperware

    I was going to post this thought as a response to another thread, but then I thought it deserves its own. I hate Tupperware guns. I do not respect them or have any desire to carry one. I do not like plastic Glocks, Smiths, SAs or HKs. I don’t care what it is, if it has a plastic frame I do...

    Economic stimulus...

    Didn't buy a new gun... But I did fix up a few that I already own. The Norinco (top) has nine Norinco parts left. It is mostly Wilson with a fair amount of EGW. Next would be Ed Brown followed by Cylinder & Slide and then almost all Wolff springs. The Kimber has all new Wolff springs...

    Anyone else enjoy a malfunctioning auto?

    I read a lot of posts about how folks send a malfunctioning gun back to the factory and are unhappy with the results of: dealing with the people, quality of repair, etc., etc. I never expect an auto to be 100 percent when I buy it, whether it is new or used. I enjoy the tinkering and...

    Can you mill a wonderfinish slide?

    I want to put a new front sight on an EAA Witness Tanfoglio in Wonderfinish. The local smith says he doesn't think he can mill the slide. Anybody know if it is possible to mill a front dovetail in a Wonderfinish slide?

    Draw to fire time

    When I worked training police to shoot a number of years ago we had a drill we put everyone through that I have since tried to get my IDPA club to do at least once every three months. Using a standard IDPA-style target we would have each person draw from an open holster and fire one round...

    Time to talk...

    Don't wanna start a poll... But, want to ask for some opinions. We are shown constantly on TV and in the movies that once people feel they have the upper hand by pointing a gun that it is now time to initiate a conversation. I've actually lost track of the number of times I've exchanged lead...
