    185gr vs 230gr for .45 ACP, What’s Your Pick?

    Buy a box of each, see which one you shoot better and are more comfortable with. What I prefer is my opinion, 200gr., XTP that I hand load. One thing you can be sure of is what ever you shoot is not going to have a good day!

    Wilson Combat vs. Dan Wesson – Which 1911 Should I Buy?

    I have Colts, Ria, and Dan Wesson, I no longer own a Wilson. I have had zero problems with all but the Wilson which was as choosy as I have ever seen with ammo. My personal choice is Dan Wesson over Wilson all day long.

    Charles Daly 1911s

    No C.D. in my safe, I have Colt and RIA. I have heard both good and bad about CD 1911s. I have done polish and trigger jobs on them and do not think they are any worse than any other budget line 1911. I do know Tisas do not need as much polishing as CD but both end up about equal when finished...

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

    I do not have 1911 in 9mm but I do have in 45acp and 10mm. My carry gun most of the time is a RIA BBR310 but hunting I carry a RIA 6" PRO CARRY. I do have a few 9mm for bad times. Although I prefer 45 over 9mm I do not condemn the 9mm lovers. I personally do not want to be shot with either.

    I can not do it right now, when I get time I will see if I have a Springfield rear sight and let you know. I have a big box full of extra parts from different manufacturers. I might be able to help you on some of what you need if you are interested.

    M1 Garand price

    Now you are talking about some almost impossible rifles to find. All four of mind are matching parts and only the Springfield is WW2 (very last of war). A friend of mine spent several years buying extra parts to make these matching parts rifles then his wife took bad sick so he sold everything...

    M1 Garand price

    Hi Blackbeard, I have four M1 Garands, one from each manufacturer. To answer your question on current value, it depends! Condition is everything, if it is a good clean shooter with a good barrel and fair wood, $1200 to $1600. Now if you have a all matching parts, (ie) every part Winchester...

    Suggestions on a 10mm Long Slide

    I have a RIA model 52000 6" 17 rd. all steel. I have not had a single fte or ftf. This is a heavy, easy to shoot, super accurate 10 mm. I know some people do not like RIA ( probably never had one) mine has a great trigger, smooth action, and very accurate. I have a Colt, a Kember, and a Wilson...

    "ANGRYJOE-14" PSA STRIPPED LOWER AR-14

    my grandfather had a s\s rabbit ear in the loft of his house, I found it one day helping him put stuff in loft. He told me not to touch it but he would leave it to me if I s stayed out of trouble. I did but when he died the shotgun was gone. I often wonder the story and what it was.

    "ANGRYJOE-14" PSA STRIPPED LOWER AR-14

    I have had a few I had to sell that I wanted to recover but was unable. I bought a Dan Wesson revolver kit in a case with extra barrels when I was twenty-four, had to sell, was able to locate and buy back two years ago. I really do not why except I wanted it back. Who knows how a Fanatics brain...

    they are real pearl and I do NOT shot with them, I change back to the original wood Colt grips. I am crazy just not that crazy. I keep her in a display case on the mantle unless we leave then she goes in the safe.

    "ANGRYJOE-14" PSA STRIPPED LOWER AR-14

    I am the same way, as funny as some ideas are I will not purchase them. I do have black pearl grips on my nickel Colt 70 series, they really make it look good.

    Waiting period blues

    Here in Louisiana we do not have waiting periods, you go to the store, fill out your papers, and if you have a clean record you walk out with your purchase after a brief call to N.I.C.S. If you have a carry license you do not have to wait on the call.
