    1911 help

    I am looking to get a stainless 1911 in 9mm. Something like the Kimber Pro Raptor II. I want something other than the Kimber. I find others I like but they get REALLY pricey. So what other companies should I look into? Would really like to stay under $1200. Sent from my SM-G950U using...

    Not registration but...

    Was convincing a friend that we don't have a registration (nationally). It did bring up a question though. Can law enforcement look up what you have purchased by your name? For example, can a law enforcement (local Sheriff for this example) pull up what rifles and handguns you have purchased...

    Surplus?

    Now that the new pistol for the Army is going to be the 320 I am guessing that it will be used across all service branches soon. My question is if they will surplus the current M9 stock or will they become scrap? I am hoping not scrap but I doubt it.

    Recent 686 vs GP100

    Need some advice. I know this is probably an overdone topic for those that frequent the forum daily. My Googlefu didn't turn up much recent. Just asking for recent experience of each especially those with hands on of both. Mostly a plinker. I reload. Might take a deer or two with it...

    Semiautos with slug barrels...

    Looking for a semiauto that has slug barrels available for them (readily available). I am usually a bow only kinda whitetail hunter but with me spending more time in the duck boat/goose blind I will probably be doing more gun hunting of whitetails. My current waterfowl shotgun has no slug...

    Talk to me about night sights.

    Looking to install my first set of night sights. Need some guidance on what you like and why. Are the higher cost ones worth it and why? That sort of thing. Have owned many firearms and carried for almost 10 years now. Had an incident where night sights could have been handy. Thanks in...

    Glock...ugh

    Never did like a Glock. They were chunky, had a weird grip, and the tag line of "perfection" rubbed me wrong. The ones I owned were far from "perfection" but a good, reliable gun that I don't/didn't care for. I much preferred the XD's. I ran across one on a Facebook selling wall and he was...

    PCR...which one, what caliber.

    Looks like OH is getting PCR's for a legal weapon during gun season. Good excuse to purchase my first PCR. I am leaning towards 44mag or 45/70. I reload and 44mag is in the lead as I can also buy a revolver (planned to anyway) and load for both. 45/70 is intriguing and like the ballistics and...

    Bitten by a bug...

    I am a shooter and a hunter. I mostly use my bow for most of my hunting but started using my shotgun more and more. I am more of a rifleman/handgunner for sport and use the bow to harvest (except yotes). Well, I had a Remington 870 Express that I used when beating brush was the call. I had...

    1911 parts...

    Looking to buy some parts for a 9mm 1911 I have coming. Since this is a 9mm is there a different sized parts for it compared to the 1911a1? I figure there is for the bushing but maybe not. Anyway here is what I am wanting to purchase all in stainless: Grip screws (hex head preferred) Slide...

    One for each caliber please!

    Lee Loader that is. I am a newer loader and have been using the LCT for rifle and pistol. Talked down the local Cabelas "Bargain Cave" on a 308win Lee Loader from $24.99 to $17.89 so I bought it. This thing is brilliant and freakin great. I am going to get one for each caliber for load...

    Ammo gone because of Fed...Sierra speaks.

    Here is a well thought out explanation from the VP of Sales at Sierra. I still think the .gov effect on ammo availability is there just not as conspiratorial as it has been portrayed. Blurb: Full story below and well worth the read...

    Hens teeth...

    Looking to do a project for my girls (3 of them) and cannot source what I need. I am looking for an old, beat up 10/22 but it appears they are like finding hens teeth. I may as well buy a new one and just use the receiver but that seems awfully wasteful. A new receiver is as much as a new...

    FS - 147grain, 30 Caliber, FMJBT $25 shipped (OH)

    Was digging and found these Winchester FMJBT, 147 grain, 30 caliber bullets. Figured I would pass these along. 168 and higher are what I shoot now so I can let these go. I know how hard 308 components are to come by. 100 bullets, $25 shipped, discrete PayPal preferred. If you are local I...
