      sr1911 vs sa ro

      I have a RO. It's a great gun, and yes I changed the sights on it. I think the contemporary trend with production 1911's is to set them up with options (like a match grade barrel and bushing) that were previously gun smith jobs you might have done post purchase. There are many differences in the...

      Taurus 840

      We can totally be friends. Just find it hard to believe they would list it in this years line up, and then not sell it. There is a youtube video from the shot show featurning the president/ceo show casing all the new models and talking about them a little bit, one of them being the conversion...

      Taurus 840

      There is a conversion kit available for the 800 series. Instead of going to a forum try going to the manufacturers website. It is listed in the 2011 catalog line-up. Joshua.

      Taurus 840

      On Monday I will be ordering my first Taurus: the PT 840. If anyone, for any reason objects to the union of me and this handgun speak up now, or forever hold your peace. Joshua.

      S&W M&P vs. Springfield XDM

      Both models are reliable and durable. This comparison is common (including the Glock 22). Really you are doing the right thing by going to the range and trying them both out. How the gun fits in your hand, and your ability to manipulate the slide stop, safety, ect will be what you should be...

      new 1911 break in routine?

      I think the first response has said the most with the least: "ya.. shoot it". :)

      Sold PS3 for an XD-9

      I've been struggling with the idea of selling non gun related items to buy more guns. I just know I'd be happier with another gun instead of this fender jaguar I've havent played in months, but I always told myself I wouldnt resort to doing that. Your testimony of selling your ps3 isnt helping...

      Tempted to drink the Glock koolaid!!!!

      There is nothing Kool-aidy about making the choice to purchase a glock. It's a practical gun for practical purposes utilized by practical people. I personally carry a G-19 concealed, but have a profound love for my 1911's, and CZ when range shooting, ect. Not to imply that the Glock doesn't...

      external safety hatred syndrome

      I carry my 1911 cocked and locked. It remains cocked and locked in my night stand. I carry my Glock w/ a round chambered. It remains loaded in my night stand (ect, ect..). I have children as well. This is just how I do things. This may change in the future, and it may not. I entirely respect...

      Close Call At Chuck E. Cheeses Pizza

      The law states that you are responsible for ascertaining any possible clues ie; signs or stickers posted at entrances that do not allow firearms on private property.

      Plastic -DA Guns

      Polymer has its place. I find it very useful in day to day applications. I personally like the look and feel of my glock, but my heart lies with my 1911. :) Polymer is certainly worth utilizing, and its reliable. Joshua

      I was at the atterbury range today. Other than the wind it was fantastic!

      Disgruntled 1911 Owner...

      Its apparent how many different ways you can go Dom: you continue to infer that I havent shot the gun. The thread was created with one single thing in question. A mainspring. Judging from the colorful array of responses the mainspring was the last thing on anyone's mind, though I do appriciate...

      Disgruntled 1911 Owner...

      sheesh. this discussion goes on. sear sear sear.. yes I know. If you read the description on a hammer spring from wilson combat it's clear that a reduced power hammer spring does lighten trigger pull, and from my experience it was dramatic. they wouldnt be sold if they werent meant to be used...

      Disgruntled 1911 Owner...

      absolutely nothing wrong with the gun. I LOVE my 1911. Its a narrow view to implicate that somehow I have lost respect for someone(s) up the line to herpies derp, or whatever you called it that I might do to my gun. I love shooting. I love it so much that when I feel there might be an...
