Also, anything comparable to the legion on the market right now? Out of the box with all the upgrades for similar cost? Any input...

    Duracoat or Replace?

    Ideas for a Poor man's 1911?

    I would love to have a 1911 and have been looking around for a basic 1911. I don't want anything fancy, nor do I want to pay a bucket load of cash. Problem is everytime I find a 1911 in any LGS around here it's a sig or it cost $1000. I want a 1911 that is ugly not pretty, rugged not prissy...

    Remington M887 NitroMag

    I have the hunting version of the Remington M887 NitroMag, with the long barrel, but I would love to buy basically all the parts of the tactical version for it. Where can I buy them? Can I buy it as a "kit"? But the biggest thing I want is an adjustable stock with a pistol grip... Or just a...

    .45 ACP Junk Reloads Help Disassemble

    Tanfoglio Witness .45

    I have a witness .45 with a 3.5" barrel and full size grips, it is polymer with the rounded slide. My question is, why is there two recoil springs wrapped around the guide rod? Why not just have one? Would a Wolff spring of 18# or 20# be able to replace the two springs that are being used now...
