    Well I bought it (pics)

    Does it fire from an open bolt or a closed bolt?

    Will you use steel ammo in your $1K+ 1911?

    I shoot steel ammo out of my DW all of the time... I really don't see the problem with it at all. What gripe do people have with shooting steel ammo? Is it harder on the gun? Not as accurate? I’m interested to know....even though it wont change my practice at all. I don’t put premium gas in my...

    I scored a very nice/ clean marlin model 60 22lr from a pawn shop of all places for $100 OTD.

    Has anyone seen what Dan Wesson is doing to their slides?

    It looks awful. I always thought their logo was ugly...and now it's a billboard. Yikes. (I have a dw also...so I'm partial to their pistols).

    St. Louis Gun Shops

    Otto Matyska of ottocomp in Afton is who I've been sending my stuff to. Hes a real nice guy who does great work quickly for a reasonable price. It's not a retail store...more of a smoke filled bunker....He builds custom guns too. I recomend him (google his name too, many other satisfied people).

    Ruger Mark 3 or .22lr SP101 ?

    I also disagree. It's a common misconception that this gun is difficult to service. It's perpetuated by people who dont care to read or take the time to learn how to do something. Not trying to be a jerk, just calling it as it is. Im not saying anything bad on you. All I'm saying is that you...

    Will a 357 Blow your eardrums out indoors?

    I've fired a 125gr jhp 357mag indoors with no hearing protection. It was a very confined space. It was a jolt to the system and my ears were rining...but my hearing returned to 'normal' relatively quickly. No blown eardrums here.

    Wow... Are we back? That was a GOOD ONE!

    They did have a story on CNN, they said that the site was bought by ACORN....

    Spyderco Salt or Benchmade H20 or other

    I really like Spyderco products. They are reasonably priced (if you dont pay MSRP on them) and are quality knives. I carry an Atlantic Salt clipped/ tethered to my harness when I go Kiteboarding... just incase I get snared in my lines and I might drowned. The knife is constantly submerged in...

    10mm or .45 ACP for HD?

    I've been in a VERY VERY tight space (smaller than a bedroom) when a Remington Golden Saber 125 grain .357 mag was discharged. I did not have hearing protection on. Sure my ears rang for a bit, but hearing returned to normal quite quickly with no *apparent* lasting effects. Hearing was intact...

    Why Ambi Safety on 1911?

    Not sure why. As a left hander who trained to shoot right handed (left as well) I hate ambi safeties on 1911s. I recently picked up a kimber CDP that came stock with ambi safeties....I have every intention of removing them once I get the time in the near future.

    I had work done on my 1911

    Ok, sorry my man, not too impressive figures. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics Inflation Calculator -That $234 (in 1978 dollars) is worth $782 in 2010 dollars. -According to Buds Gunshop you can buy a new Colt Series 70 for $843. Thats a difference of $61. - The $524 labor...

    Who buys all the new guns?

    Good advice. Anytime I visit a pawn shop I carefully watch what people are bringing in/ out. Only one time have I seen someone bringing in guns. I approached the couple as they were about to enter the shop (with several guns in hand!!!) and asked if they wanted to sell any. Told them I had cash...

    Who buys all the new guns?

    I buy new and used. Like what was said before, guns don't depreciate in value all that much. I have found many instances where a well used firearm was being sold for a price that was only slightly cheaper than a new one. So I'd get a new one if thats the case. My best deal so far was a nearly...
