I watched a few of them, there is a whole lotta Butthurt going on!!

My question is why does the young kid have tape on his left sunglass lens?

 

[sj kahr k40]

I'm watching Top Shot for the first time!

If they had used this format for the whole show it would have been better, everyone shots for themselves is the way it should be

To me it is in good shape. No obvious wear on the finish and yep, it has a rail.

If that deal falls through with the 229, let's talk about a trade for my .40 P2022 with 5 mags. If you are interested.

One of our employees has one, old Army dog. he is very happy with it and carries it daily when at work.
The hubby looked it over and wasn't impressed, he is a Kimber man though.

To block the vision in that eye with out having to keep it closed!!

 

[rmabrey]

I think a kimber is moving up to number 2 on my to buy list

 

[technobear]

any reliability issues with the springfield armory GI version?

haven't heard of any beyond break in.

The Remington ran right out of the box. For the money it is a decent gun.

 

[rmabrey]

trying again

Do you know a roundabout of what they cost? I'd love to have a Kimber but I could never afford one. I've never even owned a 1911 so I'm looking for a good starting one.

between 579-599 depending on where I can get one. Right now they are not in stock with anyone I deal with.
that's the Remington right? least that's what I looked up.

I have a SA GI. Got it used at the local shop. I have had some FTE after I have put a few magazines through it.

 

[MarkM]

I can't buy from a shop which is depressing. I'm not of age yet. Which I think is the dumbest law ever. I have my LTCH ill always pass my background check. I can own and carry a handgun. I can buy from a private seller. But I can't purchase a new gun.
