    Another 1911 - Rem R1 (pics)...

    That's an inherent design flaw for all 1911's, due to the angle a round must follow before it can enter the chamber. "Inherent design flaw?" Really? I never had those problems with any of my Colts - incl a 1943 A1, Pre-Gold Cup NM, 2 70's Commanders and 2 70's Gov't models. IIRC the angle of...

    Ohio Police Encounter - Notification

    In the 16 pg discussion on the Ohio Concealed forum the video is said to have been seen by the defendant's attorney who has asked for a copy IIRC. . (Quite a lot of reading :) Defendant was subsequently (according to the atty) offered to 'just forget about incident' but appears to be suing the...

    Ohio Police Encounter - Notification

    Exactly. The cops stop hundreds of people carrying illegally and never know it or ask about it. (And in the Ohio case, it seems the cops were using the badge as a mask to rob the person of his rights. I hope they are punished to the max if the soon-to-be-released video proves what the...

    SAF wins Chicago lawsuit

    [/COLOR][/I] When I lived in Chicago, Cabrini Green was just such a place. (Tho they have moved such 'ranges' further south, encoraching upon the suburbs that used to be inviolate. Was one of our more beautiful cities at one time - what a shame.

    ...and if he would have had 2 or 3 more 'clips' in a drawer they would have said "... police say barber had an 'arsenal' or 'ammunition cache' in a drawer next to the hair clippers." :mad:

    Dentures Again!What's Your Favorite Denture Adhesive?

    I had to go the denture experience over a year and a half ago.. Dentist took impression, sent to lab. First, lab tried to make a partial leaving 6 front teeth. The denture fit like an old rubber boot. Went back for 're-fitting' few times and nothing improved. They did a new partial denture and...

    Shooting tips for a novice?

    Excellent - Excellent :D Everyone who has just begun with firearms or even those who have carried as LEO's but been away from it for a while can learn something from a good instructor. Some of the old-timers who run the NRA-sanctioned classes are no-holds-barred about correcting a 'younger' 60...

    Model 27 vs Model 29

    If I wanted to shoot it a lot I would (and have) traded 29's for 27's. To me the 29 was simply a 27 with larger chambers. The lockwork etc. was too much the same despite the larger round and what it produced as far as battering the system. To me, it would never hold up shot for shot like a 27...

    Old GI 1911s - still viable weapons or curiousity pieces?

    My Colt 1943 A1, original never-gunsmithed (meaning 'hacked') feeds everything I ever bought or handloaded - LSWC included. It loved the Speer flying ashtrays with 7.4 gr unique. Any decent mag would work, incl the original. Some of the values are so high now that I can agree with not shooting...

    Best western movie ever?

    Totally agree re: Val Kilmer. One of the best acting jobs ever IMO in any movie. And tho I love nearly every movie mentioned prior here, I just have to go with Shane - overall acting, scenery, photography, character authenticity, human interest, etc... (One of Clint Eastwood's only bombs IMO...

    This city government has gone too far!

    To me the real issue/danger is that such 'laws' would never even be proposed if the 'proposers' didn't think that most of the public was amenable to them.

    Best IWB holsters, for a M&P .45c and 442?

    FWIW I bought a Remora IWB for a Star PD and it is extremely functional. (I opted for the 'stay open' top style and reholstering is extremely easy.)

    K22 cylinder replaced?

    Thanks very much guys :) The difference is not that noticeable to anyone who is not a detail-a-holic like myself. It's just that the cylinder looks less 'royal blue.' Looking the entire gun over with a jeweler's loupe (yes, I am a little 'off' :) I can see all kinds of 'imperfections' that are...

    K22 cylinder replaced?

    Was thinking of selling my 1968 17-2. Bought a year ago from seller who IIRC, said cylinder was either 'timed' or replaced by S&W. I only shot 30-40 rounds thru it and shoots perfectly, but I am wondering if the cylinder should be marked or another area on the gun should be marked re: cylinder...
