I still plan on going tonight if anyone is interested.

Possibly Shore Shot. They're the only ones that I know rent guns, but I'm not sure if they have a 1911.

They are both nice pistols, but totally different. The first thing you have to decide is what type of pistol you want. What caliber? What's it's primary use? What do you already have? Everyone has differnt tastes so that's going to be a personal choice. Once you have the type and use narrowed down, we can then help narrow the field. Between the two you have listed, I would choose 1911 with a 4" barrel. When you say smaller, do you mean caliber or pistol size?

I'm going to say the brushed stainless. Ray - did you really buy both?

I'm going to be heading to the bullet holes Tues. the 7th if anyone wants to join. I'll be bringing a guest with me. LRizzo are you up for it? Chris? Tom?

Yes - the Staples by me was about a dollar.

I bought the large can of this Silica Gel The beads turn pink when they can't absorb anymore moisture. You re-activate it by heating the can in the oven. Get the large container because it fills fast in the warmer months.

Does your garage get humid or moisture in it? You want to keep the moisture out. I keep a 40W light in mine with a can of the desiccant moisture remover. This combination works very well.

Welcome - and the Yankees rule!

Hey brother - if Bayonne wasn't so damn far, I would gladly join you. It's great for you guys that live in Hudson county. I live about 40 min north of BH. Even BH is pressing it with weekday traffic.

Hey Chris - Is the barrel going to fit through with that screw there? Are you sure that sight is made for a P22. It doesn't look right from the pics. I was just cleaning my PPS and it has a recessed hole in the slide that a screw like that would fit in. I'm not saying that your sight is for a PPS, but maybe it's for a P99 or some other walther.

Whenever I buy a rifle from a store it comes in a gun box and they usually put a piece of tape on it. Most pistols come in a fastened case. I think this is good to go although I do put a lock on the case when going to the range just for additional piece of mind.

Welcome aboard. Hey - I'm still going to the Bullet Hole. I think lrizzo and I will be there on Tues. 12/7. I'll post in the thread to get a head count.

What a lovely piece!

If it needs to be new, the Ruger P95 is pretty nice. I bought one and it cost under 400. It was inexpensive, but has been flawless. No jams and shoots nice. Unfortunately, I think it only comes in 9mm.

Yes - Shore Shot is a great place to try out guns. I tried a few there and they only charged me for the ammo since I bought a pistol there. They also have good prices and low sales tax. I have a Sig 226 Equinox that has been flawless with over 2K rounds through it. The Equinox grips are a little larger than standard 226 grips. It may fit you well. I have it in .40 S&W and it shoots smoother than some 9's I have shot. It is an awesome pistol. The night sights on it are the best I have used. I would also like to get an Elite version, but not sure what model yet.

The INOX is sweet, but I also like the Colt Python. OK - who has a nice Python pic?

The calipers will show how close you are. Measure both width and length. Wood sandpaper isn't going to cut it. You can also try a very fine metal file. Take off a little at a time, you want a tight fit.

Dude - you're really hooked if you're hitting the brass barrels. I haven't down that yet for fear of getting thrown off the range. I have been know to pull brass from the trash barrels at cherry ridge. I guess that's just as bad.

KBAR has a good price on 9mm and .40 S&W. I bought from them a couple of years ago.

OK - I see. How much bigger is the sight than the hole? If it's a close fit, fine emery cloth around the sight to get it to fit in the hole. Don't do anything to the slide itself. It's probably a close fit if it's rocking side to side when pushing in. I think there's a P22 forum. I bet someone else has run into the same problem. I just read that you tried sanding it down. Try a little more with emery paper. You're probably close. Do you have a set of calipers? You can measure and see how far off it is.

Do they ship to Jersey? Have you loaded with this yet? I use H335 and this is much cheaper.

Chris - I haven't seen a high viz but the stock sight just snaps in. There are 2 tabs on the bottom of the sight. Does the high viz look like it mounts like the stock? It sounds like there are metal tabs on it. They won't push together and snap in? Are the tabs too big for the hole?

Do you notice an improvement in the double action in the 226? Is it worth it? The double action in my 226 Equinox is on the heavy side.

The government has one agenda in mind. That is to gain as much control and power over the people. They don't think rationaly or give a rats a** about you or me. It's all about power and control. They don't care about how qualified a person is in a particular position as long as they can help them achive their agenda. Just as you stated - these people don't have a clue about what they are doing. It's OK as long as the "big picture" is achieved. The government isn't logical, it has an agenda.
