At first I thought this was (used to be) Slickguns.com, but that became "gundeals.com" Sheesh. Well, at least we still have some choices.

Wilson and Chip McC in my EDC. Any others I have I keep for training drills so I can practice for FTF. I am not a competitive shooter.

Yes, but Erdogon is no true friend to the West. He is not a Mustafah Kemal Turk, he is an Ottoman Turk.

I have given up my efforts to find a threaded .22 barrel for my Kimber 1911 .22 conversion and am now considering just having my MKIV 22/45 bull barrel threaded. Anyone have experience with maddmacs Barrel Threading or Grumpy's Guns (lol)? Cheers

Welcome from the mostly Free State of Florida.

Very interesting.

I realize this is not the exact thread for this question, but I don't think it warrants a new thread: I have a Kimber 1911 .22 conversion kit and would like to get a threaded barrel for it. (Kimber does not make one) Does anyone know where I can find a threaded barrel for this? Cheers Grant

Not really wanting to get into this wood swinging contest (yet, here I am), I have to agree with Philmo11. I have been shooting and re-loading since 1980 (obligatory experience credentials) I worked for a large gun store and range in Minnesota for a number years as their CSO. They had 4 cases...

I bought one that day for the $399. price. Sitting here next to me. Just need to get it to the range. This is a double for the RIA version, but a $250+ less. It maybe a refurb...but the finish, inside and out appears brand new. My EDC is an Emperor Scorpion .45. Wanted a 10mm. Want a DW...

Hot down here, too. But...until I can't, this in an OWB 1791 will be my EDC. (don't know why it changed pix orientation.)

Thank you. Wanted one since I was a kid. No way was I going to get one with that monster "legal" barrel, so I laid out the extra for the "normal" barrel and a pretty stamp. Took a freakin' year. Fortunately, I worked at the store/range where I bought it, so got to shoot her when ever I wanted...

That's a VERY valid point. Edit: And there you have it! How fast does a 45 ACP bullet travel? The standard issue military .45 ACP round has a 230-grain bullet that travels at approximately 830 feet per second when fired from the government issue M1911A1 pistol and approximately 950 feet per...

Just spent the past two years working for The Modern Sportsman in MN. 75% of business seemed to be to "under 40" crowd. All buying plastic holsters...which, for plastic guns (they seem to prefer) is just fine. I would tell people I use only leather on my nice metal guns, 'cause plastic...

How does that Bul shoot?

Not 1911 related, but .45acp at least. I'm comfortable loading for my 1911's, but would really like to load some for my M1A1 and can't help but think my average handgun loads get slowed down by double the barrel length. Right now I have lots of Shooters World Ultimate Pistol and some Unique...
