Stop chasing yield. Sometimes, return of capital is what you should be worried about. =) Cash is just as solid of an option at times. But if you want safe, a credit union I belong to is at 5% on savings. =)

That is just the overpriced stock valuations.... The big thing I am watching is credit default swaps. Put "deutsche bank" on your google alerts. The amount of re-insurance out there right now is astronomical and if one link in the chain breaks... GFC2... bigger, badder. There will certainly be safe places to hang out, muni bonds, commodities, precious metals and even "disconnected emerging markets" which were not debt fueled. Everything else? Eh. And btw... this is also why Trump is likely not to get reelected in 2 years and perhaps why being passed around that he will not stand for reelection.

Humn, just thinking about this more... this branding is a turn off for me... too much plastered on the gun... "TRP", and most of all the "Tactical" and "Operator" on the gun. BLAH... appeals too much to "tacticool" crowd. And here I remember people complaining about the billboard on the Desert Eagle 1911s. =P Here is a nice 1911 I recall playing with at Shot Show that had minimal advertising and was fitted really nicely. https://star15.com/c2gtm-1911-pistol

In reality... it's 2007. Forget the one offs... record consumer debt, record corporate debt, increasing default rates, crawling to a halt housing market, China and others dumping US Treasuries. Just the tip of the last few years. and oh yeah... the Fed hikes finally kicking in. It's 2007 and the debt bubble about to seriously burst.

Not bad for a quality 1911.

What are they going for?

Will have to take a look at it. Played with older Springfield RO models and they were okay, nothing amazing. This looks interesting. Then again, it is a 1911... how bad can it be? =P

$699? WOW. I paid I think it was $950 or $1000 10 years ago or so... and that was with discounts. And yes, really awesome shooter... the most fun I had with it was shooting polymer bullet ammo. Wow, talk about awesome. If anyone wants to shoot it, and in the Western NJ, Eastern PA area, let me know.

Can't find great pics of my smith... so this will do. The one on the right. I swapped the original grips on the smith to the Desert Eagle 1911 and put on VZ G10 grips on the smith.

True... but the external extractor on the smith is what makes it realiable. The old Kimbers had issues with their extractor. Did not recall that Sig made a 1911 in 9mm.. I do like their 1911s. The Dan Wesson's sure look nice but I was honestly not impressed with the lower end Dan Wessons. The higher end ones were terrific however.

They are not crazy... this is the par for the course SOP for any politician, especially those in the minority. Every year Michael Patrick Carroll introduces pro 2A gun bills in NJ... he KNOWS they are not going to pass, but does so anyway to show to voters that he tries. Same for the Dems. The incoming class of Democrats needs to show to their constituents that "they tried." All of those bills were ready to go a long long time ago and get resubmitted every year.

Right around $1k, especially if you are open to used, Smith & Wesson Pro Series 1911 in 9mm. Other good budget type choices are the STI Spartan. Older Kimber 1911's were good, newer ones not impressed with.

I am.... you can pm me. lol.

Spot on... What if you go to the range and forget that your gun IS loaded... i.e. you are taking a gun that you keep loaded for self defense and taking it to the range. Throw it in your range bag. You get to the range, open your bag, and the guy takes out a loaded gun... in the store? With no safe place to point it. Or... you uncase a gun when you are in your port and the gun is safely pointed down range. What is safer? This "inspection rule" while is a feel good measure, merely creates another chain to break in case of an accident. There can be more that goes wrong opening your guns outside of the shooting port than what this rule would potentially prevent. WTF would it prevent anyway? Would you rather discover a loaded gun IN the range or around other people with no safe place for it to discharge if it does.?

So you physically had to open up your bag and show them the guns inside?

Did they make sure that you have them on or did they physically inspect them while going through your bag?

"They check your eyes and ears which EVERY range does" No, they do not. In the 10 years of running the forum and shooting before, I have yet to have 1 range ask to inspect my eyes and ears. "They make sure your guns are unloaded." So does that mean before entering the range, you had to show them your gun bag and they looked at your guns? Did someone have to look at your guns BEFORE you were able to either 1. shoot, or 2. enter the range? "Need to utilize the small bag I have for the butt of the gun." For what purpose? Lying prone? It should be against your shoulder. Shooting bench rest? Glad you had fun though. Seems like you are a new shooter? Once you are in this for a while you will realize how and why everyone else where is pissed off.

Isn't Carter older?

Been following since the morning alert.

I call BS on that last part. There have been numerous accidents and suicides at NJ gun ranges. In none of the cases has there been backlash at guns or the ranges and people know it is individuals. If there was, places like SS, BA/GSSC/GFH/BH and others would have been closed down. When did they only check your ammo? Is this a new policy? Or was this from a while ago?

Let's keep the personal attacks out of it please. =)
