    Would you rather have a 1911 in 9mm or .45 Pros and Con?

    My 2 cents... I like 45 for self-defense, 9mm for the range. But, that's just me. If I'm carrying 9mm, I'm generally carrying a smaller gun with more rounds. I don't want to get shot by either...and I don't feel underpowered by either. I have no intention of going into battle, but hope...

    Some .22 LR Fun Today

    My dad got me a Model 75 (shorter than a 60) for my birthday....my actual birthday. 2 months after I was born...I guess he was excited to get me! Still have that little guy... Tore through many rifles in my youth but I was always pretty careful with this one. Haven't done a thing to it other...

    Springfield Armory Springfield Range Officer for first 1911?

    Hit your local gun show. Range Officers in my area can easily be had for $800...sometimes less. I have both the 9mm and .45 and find them to be very nice guns. I wouldn't worry about the MIM stuff (keeps cost down). By the time you wear them out...gun will need to be refurbished anyway. Few...

    1911 adjustable sights

    Did you try shooting with your other hand? For me (I'm a righty), I've shot with my left hand and, more often than not, magically my gun was shooting point of aim or sometimes shooting to the right... It was generally of my own doing. Anyhow, I've done that to self-diagnose when someone else...
