    What is your favorite 1911 and why?

    My favorite right now is my Kimber Stainless Custom Classic. My first 1911 was a Charles Daly. It seemed like a good value when I bought it but I just didn't like it. Accuracy was terrible. I admit that it could have been me; since this was my first 1911. I was browsing a local gun shop when I...

    Is Les Baer Slimmer?

    I was just looking through the Dec, 2000 issue of Combat Handguns which features the Baer Thunder Ranch Special. The photos of this pistol make it appear to be more slender than say a Kimber or a Springfield. The article doesn't give dimentions nor could I find dimentions at the Lesbaer.com...

    For the 1911 lefties.

    Randall made a fully left handed 1911. The barrel even had the appropiate twist. Does anyone make these any more? If not why couldn't a custom company like Baer or Wilson produce a few? Just curious. By the way I am a righty and I just thought it might make an interesting subject.

    What a difference.

    I installed Hogue grips on my sig 228 and, wow, what a difference. I would recommend sig owners to give them a try.

    What is everyone's opinion of Wild Bills holsters?

    I should be recieving a new IWB holster for my P7 from him this month. For those of you who have bought them what is your general perception of your holster's quality, workmanship, durability and price paid. I guess the bottom line is would you buy another? I probably should have asked this...

    Who has Les Baer, Wilson, Rock River, et al, etc.

    I am interested in maybe saving up for a really nice 1911. I already have a Kimber Custom stainless that is a superb firearm. However, I feel that I have fallen prey to the 1911 bug. I think that I would like to own a Rock River Arms Elite Commando or the Les Baer Stinger. Can anyone tell me if...

    SIG228 & LASERMAX

    Does anyone use one of these? Would you recommend it? What is a good price? I saw a NIB recently for $200. Is this just a gadget and would money be better spent on night sights?

    Florida Recount Question?

    All but two of the Florida counties has been recounted. Does anyone know which are the last two yet to be recounted? How did they originally vote and anyone's best guess will Gore magically acquire extra votes here as well?

    Rosie O apologizes and shows change of heart?

    I am looking for confirmation on this. I was talking to a fellow gun rights activist yesterday. His wife regularly watches the Rosie Show. He told me that his wife saw her apologize on the show to Tom Seleck(not present) and to the american people for lambasting Tom last year on her show. She...

    New Kimber Question.

    I just got my new Kimber Custom Stainless last Tuesday. That night I took it apart and put it together about five or six times. This is one very tight gun. I also gave it a thorough cleaning. Here is the problem. When I reassembled it the last time and racked the slide it was very rough. I...

    Kimber Stainless or Not?

    I am going to buy a Kimber Custom. This is the full size all steel 1911-A1. I like the looks of the stainless the best then the blued and last the parkerized one. Is there any difference between these that could help me in my decision? For instance, I've heard that stainless ones aren't fit as...

    Has anyone bought a handgun through an online website?

    I want to buy a Kimber Custom. I am curious if anyone has used sites like Gunbroker.com or Auctionarms.com to buy a handgun. These are the only sites I know of. Are there better ones and have you had good or bad experiences with these and others? Should I wait and go to a gun show instead for my...

    Any reason I shouldn't get a loaded Springfield?

    I own a Colt 1911-A1 U.S. Army issue 1943. I plan on selling this as soon as I can locate a buyer. It should fetch around $800 because of its great condition and has holster. I found a local dealer who is selling NIB loaded stainless Springfield 1911-A1's for $540. Cocobolo grips, Novak sights...

    Browning Buckmark.....Scope?

    I have one of these on layaway and will be picking it up in the next couple of weeks. I am curious if it is possible to mount a scope on this pistol. It looks like there are two holes in the top that would accept a scope mount. Also what scope would be the best one for this particular gun. I...

    Korth?

    I tried a search for anything about these handguns and couldn't find any info. I don't much about them except that it is a German Co and owning one would cost a great deal of money. Has anyone out there seen/fired/owned one of these? Can you share the experience with us? Any information would be...

    Another new Tactical owner

    I picked up my new Tactical earlier this week and went straight to the shooting range with only 100rnds of ammo. It was quite a delight shooting this weapon. I also own a Sig p220 which has been my favorite handgun. The tactical was shooting low and to the left out of the box. I had to adjust it...
