    LaRue Tactical Dillo Dust

    I wanted to add a little more. The experience with LaRue soured me on buying expensive weapons of any kind for 7 years, and then I ordered a custom Dan Wesson Silverback and it was great. I then bought a Les Baer, and it was OK, but what convinced me that you can buy a premium weapon and get a...

    LaRue Tactical Dillo Dust

    As it was delivered, the rifle had a gap between the upper and lower wide enough to slip a credit card through, along with a similar gap between the upper and the part of the lower where the buffer tube is. That was poor build quality that I had never seen in a Bushmaster. The rifle would not...

    Why We're All Here

    Well stated, but as I have considered the thought that the second amendment is second only to the first, I have come to disagree with that view. The rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are only secured by the right to defend them. If we do not possess the right to defend...

    If you were buying your first 1911

    The Springfield Mil Spec has already been mentioned. I have two. That is the perfect starting point, and the pistol lends itself to modification and customization on down the road.

    What are you lusting after?

    APG nailed it, with a couple of small changes. I might like the barrel hood fluted, fiber optic front sight. Who can say? I like every one I see and they become "it" for the next day or so.

    How am I bending ejectors on Colt 9mm 1911s?

    Same. I learn a lot from you guys. I will say that when I sent my 9mm Competition back due to bad ejection, Colt either shortened the ejector or replaced it with a shorter one. Perfect since then.

    Most reliable 1911 9mm under $800?

    I know this is an old thread, but Fusion Firearms would be my choice in a 9mm 1911 below $1000. Well made and accurate.

    1911 in 9mm

    My Colt had to go back right after purchase because it was ejecting rounds behind my glasses and into my right eye with great precision. Five weeks later, it came back perfect. SA could not get my 9mm Range Officers right so I sold them. The slide stop on my Hellcat needed tweaking, so GI...

    Maybe i'm getting old

    I've got the flagship model right here... I'm sorry, guys, I know that I've posted a lot of pics of this pistol, but damn, I do love it.

    Carry ammunition.....45ACP....

    Actually, I throw that in competition. It is a serious good time.

    Carry ammunition.....45ACP....

    Did I miss a good argument? That's OK, I don't worry about 185 gr this or 230 gr that. I carry this in the 12,250 gr size... It's not much on range, but it hits like a brick. A very sharp brick.

    More pics of this one, please. What is the weight difference since it is "overbuilt"? How smoothly does it rack? What is the trigger like? How accurate? Sorry, but I think this pistol is very cool.

    The discussion that happens at least once a week at work

    Since I shot the Guncrafter Hellcat x2, I am convinced that the 2011 style of pistol is the full answer to the Glock regarding any cons about the supposed short comings of the 1911. Throw that variation into the discussion mix.

    Range report

    There are a number of things that everyone should learn how to fix for themselves, but what is the best way to get that knowledge? I've watched how-to videos on Youtube, but you end up going through 15 minutes of drivel before you get to the 10 minute process.
