Classy. Is this the level of discourse we're to expect from you on the forums?

Matt, would you say that there is an appreciable, if small, loss of recoil control due to the smaller grip area, compared to a vanilla govt slide 1911?

Any of you gents own bobtailed or alloy frame 1911s? How do you find them? I'm quite familiar with 1911s in general, but have never fired a bobtailed 1911, nor have I had a chance to handle an alloy frame one.

lex - I shoot about twice a month, always at an outdoor range, except in winter. I clean after each trip to the range. I've always used nitrile gloves based on some now forgotten recommendation.

Out of sheer curiosity I did the same thing at my last physical. My levels were fine. The main concern would be shooting regularly at a poorly ventilated indoor range, but I prefer shooting outside anyway. Why the preference for non-latex gloves?

That's one mischievous looking Macaw

CJRPC is 300 and there's a club in PA about 2 hours away from central jersey that has a 500 yard range. I'm sure there are other places in PA, as well.

Yes, I'd like that, if it's not too much trouble.

I'll keep that in mind - if I do decide on USO, I'll talk you first

Shane - thanks again. Which shop were you talking about in the previous post, by the way?

Shane, I'm going for a Mil/Mil FFP. The reticles I've considered are: the s&b p4 fine, premier gen 2 XR, us optics gap and mpr. Magnification is something I am not altogether set on. I know a 3-15x scope is likely more than adequate for my purposes - after all, all of my initial shooting is going to take place at CJRPC, where we're limited to 300 yards. But is there any practical reason not to get something like a 5-25? Does the higher magnification range become a detriment at a certain point? I appreciate your input.

I am currently in the process of selecting a scope for my remington 700. I browsed snipershide, read zak smith's intro to practical long range shooting, and so I have my mind set on quality optics (S&B, Premier, Nightforce). I am, however, overwhelmed by the wide range of available reticles. First of all, I'd like to know what the preferences of the guys who shoot long range on this forum are. Secondly, is there a shop that deals in high-end glass that would actually allow you to look through scopes - let's say within a 2 hour drive from north jersey?

Let's start a war... START A NUCLEAR WAR! :twisted:

Thanks for that. Great reference.

For me personally - yes. Due to the combination of the excellent trigger and nearly perfect ergonomics.

Yes. It's laughable. I am, however, merely pointing out that it is not illegal.

Nothing in N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent any person who is 18 years of age or older and who has not been convicted of a felony, from possession for the purpose of personal self-defense of one pocket-sized device which contains and releases not more than three-quarters of an ounce of chemical substance not ordinarily capable of lethal use or of inflicting serious bodily injury, but rather, is intended to produce temporary physical discomfort or disability through being vaporized or otherwise dispensed in the air. 2C:39-6i

Ahh, a network engineer. That explains it

The variety of facilities makes it worth the money for me. The 24 hour indoor range, particularly.

I wouldn't worry about it - replace the parts as they wear/break down. You may fire tens of thousands rounds out of it without a need to.

I have night sights on my 1911s as a standard option. I'm not an armchair commando and don't want to debate their advantages for target acquisition, but one thing is certain - they make the pistol very easy to locate on the night stand.

I'm not sure if the spring is the issue here, but Wilson normally recommends loading new mags and letting them sit for a while.

Details? (aside from it being a Wilson heh) Great picture btw It's a steel frame CQB Elite in .45ACP with flush-cut barrel and slide stop axle. Naked slide.

Some trappist beer, all Chimays, Duvel, Hoegaarden, assorted wheat beer.

Picked up a new toy today. I think we're going to get along:
