I just heard on the radio that state rep. Willie Logan has introduced a bill to widen Florida CCW restrictions to include health care facilities. I don't have any details (bill number,etc). As a GOA member, I'm writing them to see why no statewide alert has been published.

New to me anyway...I just picked up two used 1911s: AMT Government Stainless SA Commander Stainless I just finished field-stripping & cleaning both and they are in great condition. I passed on a Kimber Target with a 14 round hicap at $800...maybe next month :) I won't be able to burn any...

My daughter is a borderline anti (guns were never part of our lifestyle when she lived at home...shame on me). She was positive that she wouldn't have a gun in the house, dangerous for the children,etc,etc. A home-schooling, republican soccer mom, navy wife. Well, we've flipped her :) My...

My wife and I are just back from a two day tactical pistol course with Chuck Taylor. The class was about 80% LE/Alphabet Agency, 20% civilian. Day one started at 8am ET. I used a Glock 23, day two a Colt M1991A1. Day one, my wife used S/W & Ruger wheelguns, day two the Glock 23. Chuck opened...

Just in on ABC radio. Suspended from school for 90 days.

This is a great topic. As I mentioned, I'll be taking my first professional training next weekend. I'll be sure to keep notes and post back. I just can't imagine that lessons from someone who's 'been there, done that' won't be of any value.

I'm considering having a 1992 Colt M1991A1 refinished. The pistol is a dull grey color. I was quoted a price of 65 bucks last year for a pistol or $85 for a rifle when I had a gunsmith examine my inherited Winchester 94. Could someone fill me in on the basics? I understand that bluing is...

Any Nero Wolfe fans here? A creation of author Rex Stout, consulting detective Nero Wolfe first appeared on the scene in 1934, in the novel 'Fer-de-Lance'. Mr. Stout chronicled the adventures of Nero Wolfe from 1934 until his death in 1975, with the exception of the years of WWII. Nero Wolfe...

Our local newspaper, The Ocala Star-Banner today published an long editorial: 'Ban Handguns Now' - They didn't have the balls to put in on their website http://www.starbanner.com but it was the typical statist trash; but a bit more shrill. Bottom line; they want handguns confiscated and...

"The problem comes when we combine militarized SWAT teams with no-knock raids ("dynamic entry" - which should only be used in hostage situations, AFAIC) and judges who are too loose with issuing no-knock warrants to fight the sacred Holy War on Drugs (TM). Combine all this with misused/abused...

I'm a novice handgun shooter. Three months now of serious practice. I put 100 rounds of 230gr ball through my M1991A1 today. At seven yards I got consistant 3 inch groups for the most part. The trigger on the Colt was unbelievably nice. I know three inch groups at 21 feet ain't exactly Jeff...

Anyone have an online source for 1911/M1991A1 mags? Any brand preferences or dislikes? Thanks!

1911 Newbie: I've read here that the M1911/M1991A1 is designed to be carried cocked & locked. Is it unsafe to carry with one in the pipe and the hammer down? If so, why?

Can someone tell me how to field strip a Colt M1991A1 Compact Model? Thanks!

Well, I gave in :) Today I picked up a Colt M1991A1 Compact Model. The gun looks to be in pretty good condition. It came with Tru Dot nightsights and Pachmayr grips. Could someone give me some history on this model Colt? Additionally, I'd like to find a source for extra magazines and if...
