Hi, I'm a new member - no pistols yet, but we've been going to a local indoor range where they rent them. Have a decent collection of WWII military rifles. ...
First, about the "spam" there seems to be one person on the mailing list that rejects our posts so don't worry about that. As far as the 1911, I am partial to...
Guys, Every body has there own oppion about what guns to buy, shoot, have, self/home protection or trash models. The Colt 1911 is a excellent gun, I my self...
Thanks for the tips - I'm still leaning toward the Springfield mil- spec, which I have now found for $529 online (www.budsgunshop.com). They already have an...
I have the parkerized Springfield MIL-Spec. I am very happy with it. I bought it about a year ago and have put roughly 1500 rounds through it without any...
A little late perhaps, but a local store has the basic stainless S&W's on sale for about $650 pretty often. I really think it is a better made 1911 than the...
Don't have a Mil-Spec, but bought the USGI model from Springfield. Great gun, shot excellent, everything. I've since turned it into a really good carry gun,...
I had a Springfield. Nice gun. But I prefer the Colt Series 80 for everyday carry. Safer. I've carried a Colt Officer's for over 20 years and have never had...
Not sure that I'd agree that it's "Safer" than a standard 1911. I've carried my 1911 for two years in condition 1, and we're talking a regular springfield...
I agree 100%. I just like the hammer block safety on the series 80. But you are right. Parts is parts and they do fail. Robert In a message dated 3/13/2007...
First, I realize that most of this is personal preference, but I'm greatly benefiting from the discussion - much appreciated. Budsgunshop now has the Sig Sauer...
Bob The Sig 1911 is also a good gun, I had one, but didnt like the way it felt in my hand. But then again personal preference, if you buy it and decide you...
I'm in agreement with Ed. I've held and felt the Sig 1911, and to me it really doesn't feel like a real 1911. Plus, it uses an external extractor, and to my...
I'm amazed the Colt's are selling for so much! You can get a Colt M1991-A1 in California for $600+ Robert In a message dated 3/14/2007 6:26:06 A.M. Pacific...
... Get a Browning Buckmark. It will have none of the stupid "safety" features the Ruger will. This includes no magazine "safety" and no loaded chamber...
While I agree with you that the Sig is a fine tool, I've found that there are a few differences between a Sig 1911 and a stock 1911. I would advise, before you...

I was able to buy a used Les Baer, TRS model for a great price recently. I haven't seen one before and thought I'd share.. This is doing very well for me so...

Gun Used In Self-Defense? Tell '20/20'! April 6, 2007 - Have you ever defended yourself from a crime in your home, in your business, or in public by using a...
I don't mean to sound pessamistic and paranoid, but the problem with reporters is they hear what they want to hear and project what they want to project. If...
I submitted my story to the 20/20 site. I have carried for 20 years. In that time I have drawn my firearm 6 times. Fortunately, I did not have to discharge it....

ya know, maybe we need some bumper stickers, " American schools are Gun Free Zones and children die. Israeli schools are armed and it's the attackers who die!...
