Buy crap twice and you just paid for 1 aimpoint.... I can understand it on non go to's or range only's but make sure you have a real one on your goto.

I went with a 1 3/4 riggers belt specially reinforced for holsters. It is fantastic. It fits my jean belt loops exactly so its nice and snug. My Safariland is 1 3/4 so everything stays right where it should. If your interested I can give you the email addy of the guy who made it for me. Shane

....go talk to your Chief and or the person in charge of firearms and see what he has to say.

Scott that is the info I had as well... Shane

I believe he was actually still a CO.

Its all relative to the specific firearm. The round count of most firearms to reach a point that the weapon is unservicable is pretty high! You would spend about 50k in comercial ammo to make a 1911 unservicable..... I know of 1 AIAW308 Rifle that has over 90k documented rounds on it. Its on its 10th barrel I believe.

Your not going to yell at me again are you Ray Ray? P7M8 THAT is a very nice pistol!!! One of the best CCW pistols ever IMO.

Well.... wasnt it Bidon that drafted the AW Ban?

Ha! Finally it payed to be cheap!!!

I might have to recant my position! At the IDPA match last weekend sigs were going down left and right! 3 sigs had malfs and 1 was unrecoverable (broken extractor). Im hearing that current production sigs arent what they used to be...... I still dont like the ruger though :doh:

I wonder how bad the blast will be from my comped 338LM :twisted:

I do not care for comps on my Jersey compliant AR's because it makes replacring or changing the FSB a serious pain in the ass!

How about a modern take on a classic? A DSA SA58 is what I had in mind. Better than the original manufactured on modern equippemt. The reciever is machined from a 19 lb hunk of steel! http://www.dsarms.com/ I have the SA58C. Its a TANK!

Im for the upgrade. Im not for bad planning. If we had the proof the PC approved all the rock, we would be 1/2 way through current issues.... Another dues increase would push me out the door and Ive been a member for around 12 years! To add to that the board isnt exactly being kind to those of us that do the type of shooting we do in the pits by making exceptions for it on the other ranges. Frankly Im pissed about it!

Ray, thats all that matters

Anyone going?

They all look like they have to pee! LOL

Here are some more opinions from others on the topic. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.p ... opic=98126

Ray Ray, pushy? Not at all. Merely pointing out another option with good reviews at a close price point. The only reason I found out about the Spartan line is because I went looking for a hold over 9mm 1911 until I have time to build myself one in that caliber as ALL my 1911's are .45. Now that I ordered the Dillon press, I probably wont persue a 9mm 1911 for IDPA so I can stay in the class Im shooting in. I wouldnt exactly call an STI a fave but the rep for STI is very good quality and workmanship. You have to keep in mind where I come from in my opinions on 1911's. I own zero production 1911's. I also realise not everyone can pop for a custom or build their own. SO having spent countless hours chatting, talking, reading, etc etc with most known smiths on the planet, I have some opinions on what production guns or brands are decent.... Keep in mind that I do not do what most smiths do. I build ground up. Most guns are built on production guns. These are the guys that have the inside scoop on whats good and bad at the production level. My opinions are formed from discussions with them. In the case of the Taurus I have heard some unfavorable things generally speaking and the brand soesnt have the best rep. Also keep in mind that Taurus 1911 sites are porprietary cut and in the case of the railed 1911 very few holsters fit it because its overly large compared to other railed 1911's .In the case of the Para... well I dont want to keep pissing in your cheerios but like I said most smiths dont even want to work on them unless its to gut all the para internals. If you did want work done I do know some smiths that specialise in Para's such as Hunter Customs. Bob does great work! Also I can not attest to the latest factory guns because I simply dont follow production guns anymore. I have said this countless times. A 1911 is a HARD pistol to do cheaply. It wasnt designed to be made inexpesively. Consider that the price of a Taurus complete is damn close to what I pay for all the parts to build a 1911 WITHOUT the frame slide and barrel!!! Consider the round count a 1911 is designed to achieve without significant failure. What do you consider a lot through your pistol to call it good? My Para was done before I did work Myself. Mellenium Custom overhauled it. I trust THAT para because I have idunno +10,000 rounds through it. But like I said, only the frame and slide are Para. EVERYONE that I shot with that competed with a Para did the same thing I did, flush all Para internals. Their soft. Might be ok for 1000 rounds but not the kind of shooting we did. YMMV.

Im not saying impossible, Im saying Im sceptical. I wonder if he had a baffle strike on that shot and it was ricochet? Ive been hit with probably a ton of brass from rifles..meh. Ive been hit with splatter/ricochet 3 times. I bled 3 times!

My concearns center around the violation remediation and all that water flow reseviour crap. One of the violations as I understand it is the acres of rock that make up the roadway and the parking areas. They want it removed :shock:

That Talon is whats stuck in my head. That looks like a great carry rig!

Here they are:

I think in Phil's case the full auto items would be a bigger concern LOL (They are a class 3 dealer). In regards to your other example, I do think there is an exposure there for a non ffl.
