I got my first .22 rifle and 20 gauge shotgun in 1948. I had my Red Ryder BB gun a few years earlier.

That adds up to 64 years of shooting.

Thanks Bruce, good to meet you too. Enjoyed our chat and watching you change my sights.

PM sent on sights for G30.

Personally, I think the stand your ground law needs to have a duty to retreat in public areas. No it should not. I value my own and family's safety and if I believe it is safer to stay or stand my ground where I am at, then for the safety of doing so, I will. With the duty to retreat I am required ...

Nice gun. I got my love of 1911's in the Navy too. The 1911's we had on our ship were very loose and had a lot of "patina" (rust) but they always went bang when we shot them.

Good info, I don't have a Kahr yet but I have one on order from Thunderjohn. I was planning to get extra mags from the Kahr website.

Sometimes when clearing a tough jam it's easy to end up pointing the gun in an unsafe direction. This report really got me thinking. Over the 60+ years I've been shooting I've had a couple of in...

My son in-law has done several of those. He just boils the skulls outdoors in a big pot. Did a nice job taking all the stuff off the skull.

I don't belong to this forum but I ran across it and saved the link for future reference. It's fairly new and is dedicated to gunsmithing. It might be what you're looking for. http://garagegunsmithing.com/

I was too uncomfortable with the deal so called it off this morning. Thank You all for your opinions A wise choice.

Checkmate builds mags for a lot of gun makers. They make the magazaines for the new Ruger SR1911 as well as many others.

You know you want one of these. The longer I have it, the better I like it. Feeds everything I've tried and it's more accurate in my hands than any of my other 1911's. Probably because it has such a nice trigger.

They are fairly good quality. These are lower end Kershaw knives, made in China to meet a price point.
