Since many of the "resurrected" picture threads (started before TFL got shut down) have dead links to pictures, I thought I'd start a new topic for everyone to show off their 1911-pattern shooters. My Yost-customized Colt Delta Elite, hard chrome with Schuemann Ultimatch AET barrel:

Hope this isn't a repeat... :) London Telegraph We Angry White Males Were Right About the Sniper By Mark Steyn (Filed: 27/10/2002) After weeks of assurances that the sniper was an "angry white male", it turns out the only angry white males connected to this story are the ones in America's...

Part I (written yesterday before the arrests) 1. If the killer is your "typical" serial killer, he sure seems to be breaking all the "rules." Some thoughts on why: a. Serial killers typically don't kill with very high frequency like we've seen in the D.C. area shootings. They will kill...

Q. What is Al Qaeda’s desired end-state? A. The ultimate objective of Al-Qaeda is the overthrow of the Western-supported corrupt governments of the Middle East, and their replacement by radical Islamic theocracies along the lines of the Taliban in Afghanistan. They are particularly...

If we can overcome our sentimentality, we might wonder to ourselves why 1911s are still produced. Why buy a 90-year-old design when there are so many more modern alternatives? Perhaps more interestingly, we might ask ourselves why, when people who rely on their handguns get to buy anything...

Today I purchased a Danish military SIG P210 (m/49) from a friend of mine for $950. It has a fair amount of wear on the original matte finish but is mechanically perfect, very tight and smooth as butter. Also, it is very very accurate and a joy to shoot. The recoil is unbelieveably light...

Do you have one book that you think everyone should read from the point of view of self-defense? I'd suggest "The Gift of Fear"by Gavin de Becker. What it lacks in specific techniques it makes up for with insight on mindset.

I have a modest website that I keep up for my own amusement called "The Pit" at: http://www.geocities.com/mr_motorhead/ The content consists of links to sites with credible information on things like current events, terrorism, military forces, foreign armaments and so on. It started as a...

I've noticed that for some reason you can't display images from photopoint.com on this forum. You can link to them, but the :confused:

PREFACE: I was an Army military intelligence officer for 5-1/2 years. I don't post this to tell you how cool I am... unless you think being bored 90% of the time in the 3rd world is "cooler" than being bored in America. :D Rather, I think my experience gives me SOME small insight into...

Post your thoughts. My choice is #4; I think that if we don't commit ourselves to actively fighting terrorism over the long haul we will only encourage an escalation of attacks against the United States. One retaliation won't cut the mustard. And I don't support giving up any civil rights to...

In case you hadn't heard, Cor-Bon produced a limited run of 10mm 180gr JHP @ 1300 FPS. They announced it on Glock Talk and you had to order them by e-mail; it wasn't in their standard catalog. Well, I got my 4 boxes and it turns out that the stuff is all pretty much useless. See, all of it is...

What semi-automatic pistol (production or even custom) would you choose to meet these requirements? 1. Compact size (~4" barrel and enough grip so your little finger isn't hanging in the air). 2. Light weight. If it weighs as much as a Combat Commander it is too heavy for this purpose. 3...

When I went to the Proload web site, http://www.proload.com I was greeted by this: "Ask God 2400 questions..." "This Website is NOT affiliated with any World Religions, Churches, Cults, or Party Politics. 2.5 Million Readers and Leaders have captured this Mind Psychology Education."...

Everyone, I have made some updates to my site, including the addition of 5 reviews of handguns that I own or have owned in the recent past. It also has a new, more eye-friendly background. Your opinions or ideas for improvements are welcome.

Here is your chance to show off the fine firearms you own and encourage other members of the forum to keep spending too much money on guns. :D My Colt Delta Elite, just back from the gunsmith today. If you are looking for a Dallas-area gunsmith look no further than Richard at Big Bear Arms...
