I am zombie-fying this old thread. Any more opinions on a .22LR 1911? I think my second permit will go to this (first one got me a Para 1911 in .45 last week). I'd rather go with a standalone 1911 than a conversion kit. I've heard mixed reviews on the GSG, good for the Colt and Sig, great for the Kimber (outta my price range, though). Has anyone tried the Chiappa? Reviews of it say the trigger sux. And what other options are there? Thanks!

Great to deal with and everything was just as advertised.

Thanks! Just ordered a holster for my 1911.

$300 - here you go. I've heard nothing but good about the LC9. And if you get it, a range report would be great! Good luck. And Happy Thanksgiving! http://www.gunbroker...?Item=318170293

I have one. Not my best purchase. To say there's some "snap" to it is like saying Hurricane Sandy caused a bit of a bother. Honestly, I wouldn't buy one again and would go for a Ruger LC9 (or if I had the budget the Sig P938 or a Kahr). The PF9 feels cheap (though solid). It's accurate enough - at 10 yards, taking careful aim I consistently hit center of mass. In a crisis, though, like you'd be in if you needed to draw your CCW... I found a way to make a small improvement. The original trigger actually pinched with each shot. Then I discovered Northwood Components aluminum replacement trigger. Not cheap, and not an easy replacement, but it made a significant improvement to the gun. It's still not pleasant to shoot, but it's better. Bottom line, look at other alternatives before the PF and try to shoot a few different pocket guns before you buy. Hope that helps, and as always YMMV.

28 days later... Got my P2Ps. Ewing comes through again!

Oaks is a fun show for looking, but like Maks said the prices will be crazy. Seems Obama's reelection is good for some business... Last time I was there one vendor had .50 cal ammo cans for $7 or $8 a piece. Unbeatable price (unless you buy them by the pallet like this guy did).

I stopped by Cheyenne on Wednesday at lunch. I was considering getting an M&P Sport (advertised in their flyer as $624.99). Pretty crowded so I didn't even get to speak to a salesman, but I noticed the light-up board on the counter said "S&W M&P Sport $675". Really? Sounds like bait and switch. Anyone here pick up a Sport during the sale?

Pap's a nice rifle. Just had mine at the range last weekend and it ran beautifully. I thought it was pretty accurate - at least more accurate than me! I'm getting ready to sell mine, though. Trying to consolidate my ammo use and am eliminating 7.62.

Not to send this thread down a rabbit hole, but CDNN has good prices on 10/22 mags, $13.99: http://www.cdnninves...2210blunew.html Oops, sorry I misread it as 10/22.

I'm looking for the same spec. generator. I understand Briggs & Strattons have a good reputation, plus they are made here in the U.S. As for tri-fuel, my research has led me to the U.S. Carb kits, rather than trying to get a gennie that does this out of the box (those seem to be Chinese, of poor quality, over-priced or all three). I'm interested in seeing what other people have to say...

Thanks! Ordering a set for my future Para 1911 today.

Done. That was an easy call. Thanks for finding it and letting us know.

On top of the rifle ammo, I also ordered 500 rounds of .45 ACP. But that's really just for my move to single stack major in USPSA.

Yes, you read that right. Tactical. Walls. Kinda cool. http://tacticalwalls.com Now, I realize someone with even a modicum of home improvement/carpentry skills can do this without this product. But still, nice idea.

Yes

With everything going on right now: the election results (which most, though not all of us are disappointed about), "Superstorm" Sandy, winter storm Athena, the Eagles, etc. I thought folks would appreciate this moment to reflect upon the importance of the Star Wars universe and its future. http://devour.com/video/banthapug/

Ordered a thousand rounds each of 7.62x39 and .223, before 5:30 a.m.

Actually, I think his chances increased due to hurricane Sandy.

No, but it would have been apropos here in Holt-land.

Voted this afternoon and this sign was above the door of the polling place, except instead of "ye" it said "Republicans and Libertarians":

Hit or miss at either place. The sales at both stores give you good prices, but other than that, they aren't worth the drive for me and I'm just in Ewing, not that far. Picked up the M&P 15 Sport when they were on sale, that was a good deal. OTOH, non-sale prices can be beat at numerous online and forum member owned stores. Separately, if you're looking for 5.11, Carhartt, North Face, Patagonia, Woolrich, etc- holy cow! Go to the Flemington Department Store! At least to look and try on, they have a huge selection!

Don't care what party you affiliate with, don't care who you are voting for. Voting is more than a right we have bestowed upon us, it is an obligation, one of the few, of U.S. citizenship. So get off your lazy ass and vote today. I'm AndyB and I approve this message.

Midwest - yeah, like that. We both were stupid, but those riots were one helluva wakeup call.

Haven't heard that from this storm, yet. But my attitude (and my wife's) were changed when we lived through the '92 L.A. riots, seeing buildings down the street from us burning and the absolute animalistic behavior of the people around us.
