Looking for my first 1911. Kimber, Ruger...or?
I just got a pair of VZ Frags in Military Brown... I was going to put them on the SIG TACOPS, but the MSH/Magewell is one unit piece, to there will be a gap.They are waiting to go on the Matte Nickel RIA Tac in Feb. Waiting on OGAM.... damnit. 80s series guns from colt incorporated a new firing pin block safety system, with some internal levers and where a plunger positively blocks the firing pin from moving until the trigger was pressed, thus eliminating the possibility of the gun discharging if dropped onto a hard surface or struck. Some people feel that this was unnecessary and was added only to satisfy lawyers. They are are correct for why it was done, and the jury is out on if it was unnecessary. But the main controversy is whether you are able to give your 80s series 1911 a decent trigger pull, particularly if the your smithgoes for a super-light pull (under four pounds. A defense or carry guns where a heavier pull is required, the added friction of the Series 80 parts adds little or nothing to the pull weight or feel. A competent gunsmith can do an excellent trigger job on a Series 80 and still leave all the safety parts in place, although he will probably charge a little more than if the gun were a Series 70 since there are more parts to work with. But any gunsmith who tells you that you can't get a good trigger on a Series 80 without removing the safety parts is likely either lazy or incompetent.

2 Questions about slingshots.
This thread has just depressed the ever living crud out of me. Harmless... no a slingshot is not harmless, but is it a childs toy basically. I can not believe that a spelling error or some bureaucrats decision to change a letter to encompass more "weapons" has now ruined one of my boys and mine favorite ways to spend time together. You know what this means, that know I have to speed up the firearms training schedule for them both and get them involved shooting and hunting earlier then I planned. If the state is going to impose stupid a** bans like this, I guess the only way to fight back is to out reach their targets. By getting my boys involved earlier, I hope it pisses off some libtard politician. I will get them to tell their friends about how they spent the weekend shooting or hunting safely with their mom and dad and it was the best weekend ever. I hope it makes their friends push their parents to let them go with us one day, I will bring the Dad's along also and make more shooters... It will be my personal goal from this day forward to add 25 new shooters to the community by the end of 2012. I am already two up for the year... so 23 more to go. All because they want to make a criminal of my kids. F' em.

2 Questions about slingshots.
I have retought this....Did you ever see Animal House... the final scene where flounder takes out the ROTC with the ball bearings? Thats exactly how I am planning to defend my house, if someone breaks in I am going to throw a box of ball bearings on the floor so the perps fall on their backs, knocking themselves out. I will then call my local pd, wait for them to arrive, while serving the fallen perps tea so as to keep them calm and not have them damaged in any sense of the word.

2 Questions about slingshots.
ok... my boys and I like to shoot slingshots for fun, archery practice and practical small game hunting practice. I have two, a marksman USA and a Daisy B52. I need to pick up another for my little one as he has graduated to needing his own sling by now. My questions are... a member of my club spotted us shooting and informed me that the Daisy was illegal in NJ as it was a wristrocket type? WTF is a wristrocket type? Do we have an AWB on slingshots in this POS state now? Second, does anyone know where I can get some 1/2 or .45 inch approx steel ball bearings in bulk? I had about 1K when I moved from Ga, but we seem to have shot them all away. I can order from Ebay, but most of the places are in China... not going there.

Looking for my first 1911. Kimber, Ruger...or?
You know... it sounds to me like we need to have a 1911 only meetup. Everyone brings their 1911s, a tone of .45acp, 9mm, .38super or 10mm and we all shoot each others guns. There might be some swapping going on after... not wives you jackwagons.

Any Steyr Scout Rifle sightings?
All, Has anyone seen one lately for sale or trade. I have always liked them and could never afford one... but maybe I can now. If you have seen one at a show or shop recently let me know. I am particularly interested in the larger caliber versions. G

Tin foil hats...really? DHS previous concern.
The object of US wars are not whether they win or lose, because we can never really lose if you think about it. I mean we could win ANY military situation you can think of quickly, we just choose not to fight with the full arsenal. Sometimes intenionally or not US wars are fought to sew confusion and uncertainty in other countries. Example... why were we involved in the Balkan, humanitarian reasons was the excuse, but does anyone really believe that now considering how late we were to party. We got involved there to occupy Russia, keep them thinking about us being in their backyard, keep them out of Georgia and allowing the Ukrainians some time to breathe and see if they could get along with the EU countries, therefore out of the sphere of influence of Russia. Prob did not work as the jury is still out on those situations.

Here is an interesting thought.... SIGS are 100% US made with 100% US parts, by US employees.... Only 3 MIM parts in SIGS although they do have a 80s style FPS, which is not the issue people make it out to be.

1911 are like ice cream... so many flavors it is hard to chose which one to have. USA made, just a range toy.... look SA loaded for 800 or GI model. sti spartan new for 650 is the best choice in my opinion.

Largest Caliber Rifle You've Shot?
.50bmg from a Styer HS50M1... not bad at all. Not much recoil, just a large muzzle blast that got your attention.I would take that shot any day over 3.5 mag slugs from a pump gun.

Tin foil hats...really? DHS previous concern.
"...is an industry" is basically my point all along. The USA is a capitalist country, it exists to make money. Whether that business is farming, real estate or war. Someone, somewhere is making money, making money is key to our survival, key to our neighbors and other countries survival. Why do you think our Navy costs more per year then most countries GDPs? Because TRADE is some important to the US democratic model. Without a strong Navy we will have less or reduced sea going trade. The USA is basically a corporation and corporations make and lose money in cycles. Now ask yourself, would you rather be a capitalist or something else? Stay and make it better by changing the Pols or leave, Delta is ready when you are.

Tin foil hats...really? DHS previous concern.
Maks... MS Bing has a DHS contract to update their aerial and street level photos every two years for the USA! That is an unbelievable effort... and one that is being done for multitude of reasons. For my job is just one example, during Search and Rescue activities, lets say a hurricane wipes out a neighborhood. No street signs or identifying features. Accurate PRE-EVENT aerial photos and street level shots used in conjunction with POST-EVENT immagery and the US National Grid allows USAR teams to accurately cover ground effectively. So we are trading the sense of privacy for security. It is Big Brother, and Orwell was spot on to a point. He underestimated the extent of the US citizens will to push back by about 80 years, hopefully longer. But politicians look at Singapore, Isreal, London and other cities that use Video Monitoring extensively and think it is the way to go for public safety concerns, which supposedly trump privacy concerns.

New Comparison - Handgun "Stopping Power"
interesting.... .38sp = to .45acp until accuracy is taken into account. More proof that I am wrong on using 9mm ball.... need to get some good jhp for the Walther. I think he is spot on, whatever you shoot it must hit in the right spot, placement trumps caliber which trumps capacity. It's the new Rock paper scissors
