Ugh.. I think I'd have to say the "cowardly way out" really doesn't even nearly cut it here. Deciding to kill himself alone, may (or may not in some cases) have been the cowardly way out. This guy though shot his wife, killed his son, and even killed the family dog (WTF ?). This was a complete...

This thread is WAY off the rails from the topic.

So, the OP here is a little bit all over the map. For transparent clarification, I moved this into help and feedback and set the second part of the title (because the title was pretty clearly non-descriptive of what the person is talking about past the first lines, but if I'd handled that like I...

That said. @kev74 probably isn't totally crazy.. well, not about this anyway.. heh. Kev, I think it's possible you're just incorrect about the reason your trigger reach is different. I have to explain the process here. I took Kev's picture from above and used photoshop to do my best to match up...

I'd have to disagree with you on that one (generally speaking between the frames having notable difference in trigger reach). On my Ks and Ls, with the same grips, my trigger finger can reach almost precisely the same spot. Actually, even one with different grips is the same spot. I've added...

No problem man. I love this kind of stuff. To me, this kind of thing is what the forum is really for. Sharing info on, and larnin' stuff 'bout guns. :)

So, this is not a 100% perfect layout, but I think it still makes for a decent enough demo as both guns have the exact same grips. It's a quick and dirty cell phone pic I just took, and the guns are not aligned perfectly, but.. it's pretty close and, even with the slight imperfection, the quick...

Pffft.. external extractor, :mad: NOT A REAL 1911 !!! ... I'm 100% kidding. Just wanted to try being THAT guy for a second. Nice gun ! The S&W 1911 models have a pretty good reputation for not being especially ammo finicky while maintaining nice accuracy. Also, I've noticed over the years...

Edit: Nevermind. The source I posted was also out of stock.

Well, do you already own any other 1911 ? Every respectable.. eh.. pistoleer should have at least one 1911 in the collection (In HEX's very biased opinion). So, if not, there's your answer. :D

Unless the Delta Elite is specifically really what you want, personally I'd suggest possibly looking into some other options. This may be an unpopular opinion with some, I dunno, but in my opinion when you buy a colt 1911, these days, you are spending a lot on the name and not so much on quality...

I definitely get that. Though it was many years ago now, I had the exact same experience (shooting someone else's 10mm 1911) and got all hyped about getting a 10mm in the same way. At the time, a trainer, one wiser than me, talked me down and out of it; based largely on the argument that I was...

Also, your posts make it sound like you really want a 1911.. so just get a 1911. Also, always remember that sometimes the gun that the store is trying to sell you on is what they're having trouble selling for a reason.

This might be slightly off the topic you're looking for, but do you reload ? I'm not sure I'd really recommend a 10mm to someone who doesn't... unless perhaps money is no issue, but even then ammo availability can be an issue; especially in current times. If you're going to try to use a...

Apparently one charged with sedition is a local(ish) guy to us Hudson Valley folks. Might even be someone here has had a tattoo done by him. (it's possible) https://www.recordonline.com/story/news/local/2022/01/13/newburgh-business-owner-now-faces-sedition-charge-capitol-riot-case/6518790001/...

Yeah.. tell that to friends of mine and other members who've lost people to it, currently have so many they know hurting from it, and those who've survived it after horrific long hospital stays and left with permanent serious issues. I'd like to see you do that with a straight face. I'm so sick...

What a fucking ridiculous comparison. Being Jewish or Black isn't contagious and doesn't put people's health or life in jeopardy. (I'm not aware if purple people eating is contagious however)

I don't mean this to be personal but this trend of reading headlines and not details drives me nuts. Whether you buy the official story or not is a separate issue, and I probably don't condone this under any circumstances personally, but there is a very clear official story presented if you...

Not a problem. I pulled it. Thanks for the heads up @Doc8404 .

Welcome

I'm not certain, but I suspect it's likely a shell for a a saluting/signaling cannon. This page shows some similar shells in 2 or 2/12 gauge, and does mention there are paper hulled ones. That may be a 2.75 gauge based on the marking (perhaps for a very specific cannon, dunno)...

It didn't disappear. You would have gotten some notice on posting I think that it required moderator approval before being publicly viewable. The site thought there was a possible element of spam to it; I'm not exactly certain why. Did you maybe copy/paste the same post over multiple forums ...

I'm not saying he was or wasn't justified, but in any case he's damn lucky it actually worked to so immediately end the escalation.

I was browsing Craigslist just now and came across this.. and I think I threw up in my mouth a bit. At minimum there was a dry heave. Let me me be clear here. You should absolutely NOT go flooding it with 'flagged for inappropriate' (by using the little flagged icon). Definitely don't do that...

Ha.. not what I was expecting. I saw the title of this thread and, before opening it, went over to the bookcase to pull my 12th and 16th editions of Cartridges of the World; which have quite often solved various cartridge mysteries for rifles, handguns, and shotguns .. but I'm pretty sure...

Yes, yes it is. We do have this place to bitch about it though. Hell, even those members that don't especially like other members at least all have this problem in common.

We kind of discourage this in the rules, though specifically what that applies most to is doing something like posting a thread that says "guns for sale email me for info". Here the info is largely provided, but it is still somewhat meant to discourage people from saying contact me outside the...

Seeing something on facebook is generally a good reason not to believe it. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rittenhouses-file-defamation-suit-behar-goldberg/

last day on this beaut . I think the link was also broken. I fixed it.

I happened to see an ad for these in my browsing. I don't know that I really have use for such a thing (no kids, etc and so on), buuuut, it might still be good for some applications. It's a bit pricey, at around $112 when I checked, but I suppose if that actually translates to quality then I'd...

I know a guy who knows this guy. Guy I know posted on facebook about childhood friend being shot multiple times yesterday and it was a simple step to put it together.
