I'm thinking about bluing a 1911 45 acp from 1943. I know it was parkerized back then, but by the time I got it. Someone sanded it or grinded it down to bare metal. Would love to try a hot blue like my dads model 17. It's just beautiful. Up in the air if I want to have a gunsmith do it , and if...

Has there been any changes in the laws in 2009 ? That you can carry in pistol free zones if you have a cpl in michigan ?

Here's an update you may enjoy. Anyone who has kept on on this thread will know I'm planning on buying from a private owner, and need to get a permit to do so. Well, after some running around , and making a few phone calls. I was talking with a lady on the phone from the records dept. I told...

Live in Mi. At least the two citys I've tried , you have to go to the records dept. to pick up a purchase permit . The city I live in and work in. Their hours are like 9 to 3 pm. or 2:30 pm. Maybe it's cut backs or a new way of doing things ? It would be buying off a private owner. That's my two...

Buying a 45 acp off my cousin. Use to just go the the local police department to pick up a purchase permit . Now have to go to the records dept, which closes at 4 pm. Oh well... It is what it is, and that's all it is. That's my two cents.

I'm impressed with hk , the feel of the gun and how accurate it was . It's a nice looking gun too. The jamming was a turn off. Considering all things... I can understand the importanance of a clean weapon with good ammo. My 6906 has had about a gazillion rounds put thur it with all types of...

I know this may not be the place to post this, but I just preffer to do so. My cousin and I went to range on a whim . I praticed with my 442 and was eager to try his hk usp compact 40 cal. It's a accurate gun ! Very nice. It was dirty and jammed sevaral times with reloads. But I was impressed...

I agree 100 percent with letting the police do their job and staying out of the way.

First of all . Hopfully this is the time and place to post this. Everybody may have a different opion ? This weekend I had to go to a false alarm call with my cousin. We both have a ccw. And yes the police where there several times before, This was not a wild west movie , with us storming in...

Hello, I carry a model 442. Love it for it's size and weight. A little bit better then carrying the 6906. What if, just asking ... I'm thinking another compact pistol in the distant future. Throwing around the ideal of a 40 or 45 cal. I know their not the lightest weapon around, but...

I'm just throwing this out there ... Has nothing to do with ccw. I have been to gun trade shows in Mi. They are selling bullet proof vests. What's up with that ? I don't think I would ever be in the market for one, but what the heck would you do if you bought one ? Would or should you inform...

I don't remember If I asked this question before ? In Michigan you must have your gun registration on your person when you carry ? What about this new electronic registration ? Meaning you fill out the new slip and it's sent to the state police and your really do not have a green card to carry...

Bought my cousin a Galco ankle hoster for his birthday. We took our cpl class together about two years ago. It set me back about 60 bucks. His loves the holster! It's fits his 642 like a glove and the wide band on it looks very comfortable. I thought to myself. Damit . I need to get one of...

First time with my 38. I was rather impressed. The spent shells did not eject like I wanted to, but we will see what happens with that later on. The recoil was strong , yet not overwhelming. While aiming for the direct center of the target my shots ended up in the heart area automatically. I'm...

Well everone has their own opinion ? I tried some blue magic liquid polish on my 6906. I'm very happy with the results. Almost looks like a nickle finish. Anyway that's my two cents.
