    Newbie to the Forum

    I agree. I too am a 67/70 Army Vet 1st Infantry. Still love my 45's. Have several Glock's. Do quite a bit of customizing and smithing. Once I got rid of the MIM parts and crappy plastic sights they started to become better pistols. Won't get rid of them now because of the extreme amount of...

    polymer vs steel ?

    I have several plastic guns. Glock, Taurus, and Canik. Out of all of them I actually feel they are so much the same that I have never felt a super appreciation for any of them. I realize they may be just fine but personally I have a preference for an all metal pistol. I have a 1911 and I...

    Shooting steel case ammo

    I have used steel case ammo many times but not in my semi auto's of any kind. Lets face it steel is harder than brass and brass is more malleable. The repeated striking of the steel casing on an ejector and other contact areas will in time show more than a brass casing because of the hardness...

Will try to stay away from politics but know that many Eastern States are very gun restrictive due to this. State of Utah is very good. Getting used to the driving difference...

    The state of Illinois is run by Democrats. They want to confiscate all private ownership of firearms and if that doesn't work they want total control for licensing as well as transfer of firearms and purchase as well as ammuntion. Articles will deny this but reality is they want a total...

    President Obama's Call

    I sadly confess I voted for Obama the first time as I thought we needed change. I was sadly mistaken and quickly realized what a terrible huge mistake I had made shortly after this P.O.S. got into office. Huge mistake, please forgive me. The man quickly showed what a racist and hater he is and...

    Assault weapon ban comes to Canada

    Looks like many people have never learned from history what can happen when mental illness or other overtakes a human being. The outcomes are never good in the long run and the only way anything like this could ever work is when mankind learns to get along with one another. Outcome doesn't look...

    Controla virus

    I too believe the distancing to a point and totally respect the way people feel. I do feel the same in that I believe there is something much bigger going on than the virus At any rate I'm glad I have my 45's to take my mind off of all the what I believe to be political boo haa!

    A year late but finally.

    Hi, yes I know it's a year. Came across this forum and since I am new to the 45's I figured I'm never too old to learn. Briefly my Father was a Navy veteran from WWII and many years ago the wife and I bought him a U.S. Historical Society limited edition of the famous Colt 45 auto. It is the...

    GECO 357 Magnum ammo ???

    Everyday price here in Illinois at Rural King is $13.49 for a box of 50 158 gr. Tul ammo. Yes they are steel casings but the price is better. I have shot many of them and they work fine.

    California Custom build purchase

    I don't know how to respond to this without getting into politics and local state government. I will say that California has some of the most illogical and restrictive laws that only continue to get worse. Honestly all these laws do is make it more time consuming, and bottleneck legal law...
