The problem for the CMP isn't "bad guys" selling pistols on the street. It's people who are supposed to be buying these guns for use in CMP or other sanctioned competitions that are actually buying them for resale at a profit. That undermines the entire CMP firearm sale program - which...

Great looking gun!

One showboat and one shooter. Model 67 and a Model 986.

Best of luck relocating! The corporate culture has been going downhill at GE for quite awhile.

I know that we're all laughing, but where in the h__l does someone like this internet jockey come up with the "facts" that he's stating. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who will believe his BS. I'm waiting for AOC to endorse this "history".

But the speaker sounds so sincere! LOL -and then some..

I suspect that you're not in the minority here. People don't buy books or go to the library like they used to. It would be very nice if we could make good books available online for a minimal fee. Amazon does offer this service with a limited amount of coverage on shooting related topics...

Just goes to show that many "1911 Addicts/Fanatics" are also "shooting fanatics". If it involves pulling, pressing, or manipulating a trigger to punch precise groups of holes in paper, score on metallic targets, or bag wild critters, we'll find a way to do it. The more the merrier!

Generally speaking, guns and knives aren't very good "financial investments". There are, of course, exceptions. All too often, an "investment grade" firearm ends up being a safe queen and doesn't appreciate in value anywhere near as much as one might expect. Then, there's always the risk that...

I'll second that on Steve Owens. He's working on a DW Guardian for me now. You can be sure that he'll stay in touch with you to make sure he's doing what you want to have done.

1911U004, Now we're talking about serious target pistols! For Razer, Any decent quality air pistol or rifle, CO2 or "springer", should handle your squirrels. I would suggest a .22 cal. rather than .177. You might be challenging your pistol shooting ability at 20 yards, but even my relatively...

All good stuff! You'll find Jim Cirillo discussed in Massad Ayoob's book in the "gunfighters" chapter.

Here's the link to the Swiss Arms pistol on Pyramyd Air https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Swiss_Arms_SA_1911_TRS_CO2_BB_Pistol_Brown_Grips/4391

The stainless-looking one is a Swiss Arms "Tactical Rail System" 1911 .177 BB gun with a full recoiling slide. It's reasonably accurate at 5 yards with steel BBs - capable of a 3" grouping for about 40 shots. I use it primarily for practicing my draw stroke and firing one or two shots from...

I had a .22 cal Benjamin rifle and gave it to my eldest grandson about 5 years ago. I have an inexpensive 177 Remington rifle and a very good Air Arms .22 cal target rifle with a scope on it. It will take out squirrels and rabbits out to 50 yds+. For outdoor pistol practice, it's hard to beat...

OK. There may be more BB and pellet shooters out there who recognize the value of these "non-firearms" than I thought. Here are two of my "indoor shooters" that I use every week.

Yes. I've posted on this subject both here and on other forums about using CO2 and spring-fired pellet guns for indoor practice. It doesn't appear to be something that members here care much about even though it's very popular in Europe.

I see some good ones there!

Part 2 Personal Defense and Tactical Shooting “Combat Shooting with Massad Ayoob”, Massad Ayoob, 2011 One of the best overall discussions of defensive/tactical shooting publications that I’ve read. “The Modern Day Gunslinger”, Don Mann, 2010 A very good manual on defensive/tactical shooting...

What’s in your library? OK. For those of you out there who may be seeking knowledge with regard to firearms, especially you new folks who haven’t been involved in shooting for very long, here’s a list of books that I have found very interesting and informative over the years. They’re all in my...
