Was wondering if H&K was going to throw money at the money to get their guns featured again. lol. Will be glad to play with these in about a week.

But James Bond can't kill a man with a pencil!

Ok... what's this... a 1911/2011 of some sort.

Timely. Nick posted in chat the movie trailer. Looked like an HK IIRC.

I hope that is it. lol. Flying out of PHL.

Interesting. I hope they are at Media day and we get to shoot it. From the looks of it should be a quick cycling gun. At the same time, blah, looks a bit too boy racer and that huge billboard.

50 sheesh? About to go take the lawn mower deck off of the lawn tractor and put the snow blower attachment on. A few of us due to fly out to Vegas for Shot on Sunday so that will be interesting.

Heh, interesting. Price point on that? Why are all these new guns so "tacti-cooled" out?

Ended up only being 3 mins of downtime. =) Going to close this one.

Grip tape comes in a few varieties... some more aggressive than others. But if your hands are almost bloody... you really may be death gripping the gun.

Maybe sand them down a bit? Or get rid of your death grip on the gun! For glocks, I use grip tape... same stuff sold in skateboard stores.

My friend over at Zev Tech, the famed Glock tinkerers just sent me their latest... their own gun.

Very cool. That 1886 looks interesting.

In preparation of some updates and upgrades, forum/site will be down for around 15 minutes at midnight. Some updates on the backend.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. For some reason those guns just look weird. And those triangle proof marks... almost made me think I was looking at mosins.

I am sure a Glock in 7.62x25 is right in line after a Glock 1911. =)

List of stuff you want to see that is expected to be at the show this year.

Aren't target 22 folks still shooting Smith Wesson Model 41?

@Ray Ray Great advice on the Ruger 1911. Really solid gun.

I have a meeting with the Ruger executive team for something else but I will make sure to mention it. But... I would not be surprised if they are already reading this topic.

In just under a week the NJGF crew will be heading to Shot Show in Vegas. This year there will be 3 forum members going and will be there for the extent of the show. So... any guns or aspects of the show you want to make sure are covered? On my list right now are the new Glock twins, 43X and 48 and the new Colt King Cobra. What else?

The issue is... Smith and Wesson can produce the Pro series in that price range. Really with Dan Wesson, I believe the big issue is that outside of core gun owners, the typical gun owner, or new gun owner has never heard of Dan Wesson. The other aspect is, while I love the look of the Dan Wessons, the last few I played with at Shot Show... I would not say the fit and finish was up to par with my perception of Dan Wesson.

Some are brainwashed, but I think it is also a stereotype we have as conservatives. BUT... when it comes to guns, there is still a lot of opportunity. I was recently at a Wedding Expo helping out my brother. There, Gun For Hire had a booth.... it was packed... full of happy liberals who were looking forward to shoot guns at a bachelor/bachelorette party.

I/we are all for adoption and many kids out there that need loving homes and parents. Having said that... adopting for the sole purpose of generating more gun owners? I have a struggle with that. Realisticaly, to get more shooters I think we need to get more guns into people's hands. We should be supporting the public ranges who are out there as the first place for newbies... most of all, LIBERAL gun folks. Once we look at gun ownership beyond simply being conservative, we can make more progress on gun rights. Look at gay rights for instance... Republicans are generally not bible thumping anymore. We can do the same thing with guns... get more Democrats to pick up guns and realize they are no more harmful than kitchen knives and we can take the "gun control" agenda away from liberals. Someone may not be for a limited government, states rights or pro life.... but they can just as easily enjoy guns and the protections of the 2A. I think gun owners are making the huge mistake by turning off millions of gun rights advocates by running off anyone interested in guns simply because they are not 100% with the conservative agenda.
