I have several......3 870's, one Beretta 1301, 12 gauge SKB O/U, FN SLP 12 gauge, one 870 with 14 inch barrel (SBR'd), a Dickson/Falcon 10 gauge double barrel for "large" ducks and geese. Just picked up a Mossberg 590 that was a "LESS LETHAL" 12 gauge that a local police dept. had traded in to...

I have 2 Sun Welding safes made in Comefornia. One for pistols and one for rifles. The shelving in the pistol safe is extremely thick and sturdy. I recommend them highly but did get them really cheap from a friend who had closed down his retail camera business. I have no experience with any...

Blackbeard......Got your message and I don't see anything on the forum to talk about gun safes. I"ll be happy to chime in if I know where to go. Thanks.

I've got several. For big birds, I use my Spanish 10 gauge double barrel that was handed down from my grandfather. Others are a MAC 4 customized, multiple police 870's, FN SLP, Beretta 1301, SKB 12 O/U, but the favorite is my late 70's 870 that I SBR'd with a police 14" barrel. It's got a nice...

As a side note, Tisas has no MIM parts. Upon disassembly of my three, there was not one MIM part. All barstock and therefore no need to put any upgraded Wilson Combat, EGW, Nighthawk or any other parts in the gun. I did polish all mating parts for smoother operation but no need to upgrade. I'm...

I might agree with fatinggoo about the SA Mil-Spec. I bought one years ago, ran it a while, then sent it to John Harrison for a complete makeover. It's now one of my safe queens and shot rarely due to John's incredible work. Best trigger I have on ANY gun. The SA though will run you several...

Randall........Never had a Daly. I've had just about everything else. In this price range, I would recommend the Tisas line as I currently have the Stingray, Tank Commander, and the Raider. Absolutely hard to beat for the price. I put over 1,000 rounds through the Stingray with zero issues and...

Double stack .45's.........FNX 45 and FN 545. I prefer a hammer over a striker. Tried the 545 and did all I could do to get the grit out of the trigger pull. Had SOME success polishing the striker parts, spring, etc. but finally decided to sell it. No regrets. FNX 45 is quite the weapon.

Agee 100% Dennis. BTW, did you get some bad twisters up your way? Looked like Hollister and a few other towns might have been hit bad. ' Also I forgot to add in the above diatribe that I bought some LOC black cerakote 1911 solid brass grips, scribed some bobtail lines, cut that area off and...

Peirre........I've had the best overall success with Tripp magazines for the .45 AND do not discount ACT mags. I use those for my S&W 3" .45 and they are 7 rounders. They have a really nice follower design which I like over any other magazine follower. I've had issues with Tripp 9mm mags, talked...

If we are strictly talking 1911, and not a 2011, I'm with the .45 over 9mm all day long. Given the single mag capacity of both, even if one chooses a longer mag, I'll load 8 .45's over 8, 9 or 10 9mm's. I do have several Tisas models.....the Stingray in 9mm and Tank Commander and the Raider in...

The stock rear site is .265 high and the bottom of the dovetail front to back is .445. I would check with Heinie and see if their site has that similar front to back dimension, or is close. Their rear site is .305 high and coupled with Dawson's site, there might be a slight POI issue, but at...

chili.........Mine still has the stock sights. Never found the need to change them out. I'm pretty sure I checked with Dawson Precision years ago about getting some for it but let that pass. The link below will PROBABLY get you a fiber front and I would call Dawson Monday am to see if they have...
