10 shot groups @ 50 yards

I have always said we need to bring back the concept of "Outlaw" in the historical sense. Back in the day particularly troublesome people were declared outlawd meaning that the protection of law no longer extended to such people. Such people could be robbed, raped or killed with impunity as...

That's easy enough, obtain permission. If not forthcoming find a different church

The Atlanta Arms seems like legitimately good stuff. The "select" line is thier bulk budget stuff but has done well for me. The .45 especially, if I'm blowing the center bull out at 15yds how much more accuracy can you use?

Given the recent incidents lately I'd say absolutely yes. And given that one incident "the Boomer with the Big Iron on his hip, the guy that was an firearms instructor and dommed that shotgun welding lunatic with a P229 in 357 Sig. I'd say armed parishioners are quite effective as well.

This exercise was entirely about making the smallest groups for the best price possible. I have my defensive and training ammo locked down but I like to shoot guns just for fun too y'know.

Will an aftermarket trigger like that take the slop out of the Factory Colt's piece?

I have taken to referring to incompetent immigrant drivers as "deadeyes" I see a trucker struggling to back into a spot or looking lost at a shipper/receiver and I go out to render assistance only to be met with a wide eyed, pupil dilated, deer-in-the-headlights stare of utter incomprehension...

The dumbfucks can't read the signs!

I know for a goddamn FACT illegals are out there driving trucks!

I'm talking about max weight for non-permit loads.

80,000lb. Unladen weight alone is something around 28,000lb. Depending on fuel level and the exact type of trailer.

CDL issuance is completely cracked. All kinds of non English speaking retards out there causing havoc on the roads every day

Mandatory death penalty for all felonies

There are no additional security measures for a CDL EXCEPT for HAZMAT endorsements which require background checks and fingerprinting every 5 years.

Apparently as few as 9 pills can be a lethal dose. For anyone participating in this it could prove to be the most useful thing any of them will have done in their lives. I'm hopeful it will be for as many as possible. We should organize Tylenol drives and get as many pills out to the...

Of all the things going on in the world people are wasting brain power on this?! Is this the adult version of dangling keys in front of an infant to distract and soothe?

A revolver don't look right unless it has a full underlug IMO. That's why I like the Stealth Hunter so much, that big, huge, beefy shroud makes the thing look like RoboCop's alternate weapon. Also why I continually put up with my L-Comp's repeated failings, its just such a freakin' COOL looking...

That model seems like it would take most of the kick out of the .44 Mag. Not that I'm recoil sensitive but when I am spending that kind of money pet round I want nothing but heavenly bliss every trigger pull.

I am a very nitpicky man and the color contrast between the talon grip tape and the rosewood grips bothered me so I got these black VZ grips. Undecided yet which I prefer in looks. In terms of grips and feel the VZs are outstanding and the dished out area makes hitting tge safety easier.

Well in an S&W .44 the Stealth Hunter is what I would get. Not sure what the dash range for those are, or even when production of those began. 90s I think? Aside from looking very cool the Stealth Hunter seems like it would tame the tecoil of the .44 Magnum down to an enjoyable level.

For my 1911. Not planning on carrying it but this will be useful for range work

I 2nd the recommendation for OnSight. Ben is a good guy and an excellent trainer. I should train with him again sometime myself.

Well, more specifically I'm wanting the most recent year of production that doesn't suck.

It might be time for a .44 myself. What year do you reckon S&Ws revolver QC went to shit, I.E. how old a 629 do I need to get?

10mm is cool. M&Ps are cool. 10mm M&P is therfore double cool! M&P 10 is definitely on the short list.

This is what their .45 ACP can do. This is excellent ammo, very accurate. I highly recommend it for anyone that wants a little better than basic blaster ammo.

This thing is just an amazing shooting piece. And the Atlanta Arms product is very good as well, I can't expect any better than that. Also I now have 1200 rounds through it and the pistol itself has been very reliable. Occasionally I will fail to ensure tge top round in a mag is not seated...

That actually sounds pretty fair.

Striker fired guns, such as those you lost here, most certainly do have locking lugs. The barrel hood/chamber itself is the locking lug which locks into the ejection port of the slide. I'd also argue the the fixed camming underlug what interfaces with the cam block in the frame has more...

Yeah, I was looking at the Wilson combat stuff, not terribly expensive. I'll look into the spring too, I'll have to learn more about it first. Also I'll be replacing the factory polymer mainspring housing with a blued steel one too.

I am thinking of getting an extended slide release and a wider safety.

The LAR Grizzly Mk I has become something of a grail gun for me. Totally impractical with expensive, hard to find ammo but I still want one.

That particular gun is definitely on the list. I'm thinking I might plump for the Performance Center model, mostly because I think the compensator looks cool. I have read you might need to go to a heavier recoil spring for reliable function in those and if that doesn't work people claim...

Ah, I know Johnson's Country Store well, I was raised in Lockport. As others have said Johnson's will only be able to offer a fraction of what the gun is worth. Gunbroker or such like is her best bet.

I imagine my Colt is post CZ production. None of the issues I have heard of their 1911s having seem to be present on mine. Machining is all good, no voids in the MIM parts, fit and finish seems good, function is very good and reliability so far is fine. Accuracy seems to be outstanding. Now...

Ruger? Really? I thought Rugers were at least spared tge QC woes that have afflicted every other domestic manufacturer. At least I am having great luck with Colt so far.

I took a hands off approach this time. I called it in initially, pointed out this would be the second time it was back, lady on the phone was sympathetic and concerned, saw the service record of it and directed me to coordinate its return with my ever helpful LGS. Then I ignored it it for 3...

Those are cool guns............could we get, like, a pic?

Welp, I hadn't bothered to report on this as frankly I'm over it, this L-Comp drama, but a few months ago my wayward S&W began clicking instead of banging again and it progressing to the point where it was 90% clicks to 10% bangs. Some chambers it seemed refused to fire altogether. A month ago...

I have gotten .45 in the quantity of a muchness. I ordered a 400 round lot of their 9mm and found it to have above average accuracy at only a small premium over regular FMJ blaster ammo. Yes, I have indeed been shooting the snot out of the Colt and I intend to continue doing so.

I have hit 1,000 rounds with the Colt today. I have had 2 malfunctions both failures to feed due to bullets nosdiving on the magazine follower and both times it was with the factory magazine. I consider this level of reliability wholly satisfactory, surprising even.

What better thing to do on this sunny holiday? Been awhile since I shot the Shield, still a hoot to shoot. I'd say the recoil impulse of the Shield shooting +p defensive loads is quite similar to the 1911 with .45s. Meanwhile the Carry Comp feels like easy mode with an aimbot mod on.

Another round of fun with my Colt Shot 200 of 500 rounds. Might shoot later this weekend

Inconsistent today. But the Colr CAN stack em in there if I do my part. Shot @15yds with 230gr Speer Lawman. It is a very fun and satisfying gun to shoot though with 8 rounds on tap I always feel as the fun had stopped just as it got started.

There is a nice linear progression to the .45s, from standard to +p to 45 Super and finally .460 Rowland yiu get about 150 fos more per step. 45 Super therfore is essentially .45 ACP +P+. The brass is somewhat thicker particularly at the web area. Any standard 1911 in 45 ACP can be...
