Take a looksee at an STI Spartan b4 you take the Taurus plunge.

Im really not up on the Rugers but I didnt care for the few I have shot. I would choose the Sig. Just make sure its a new 220. IIRC older 220's in .45 had some frame cracking issues. Despite that I would still go sig between those two. I'm sure you know this already but if its an off duty piece his Dept may only allow specific models. Shane

Heres the thing, a bolt gun is a lot more forgiving of technique than a gas gun for precision shooting. A gas gun requires you to be absolutely on your game with trigger control and follow through.

Steel cases through my children, are you mad???

From what I understand, the Pin Com wont even consider anything until violations are resolved. The club maintains that what the PC is calling violations is previously approved by the PC. They are saying..prove it. It appears to me that as usual a beurocracy will punish you to no end for trying to do the right thing.... Focus is cleaning up lead, there stuck on a trap rock driveway.

The reality of it is knowing your rights. There are differences between detained and under arrest. I know I have the right to not be unduly detained or searched. Here's the problem, because I never have anything to hide, I dont care if they do. BUT now this has the net affect of possibly teaching officers that only people that have something to hide dont allow searches. The person that legitimately excersizes his rights is the few and far between odd man out and will likely be viewed in catagory 2, hiding something. The key question here is am I free to go. If the poster aboves story about 2 hours is accurate, I would say you were under arrest! However, if you never asked the key question, it becomes grey. Now Im all for standing up for your rights, but telling the officer to go fight real crime.. well thats not how I woulda rolled

Dicks has been the cheapest I could find. BUT they have buying limits... The ammo situation has driven me back to reloading. Id rather chase primers than ammo. Dillon inbound this week!

:hand: :snooty:

Tony, how did that scope work out? Was the BDC close?

TPIUWP!

I dont mean to sound like a para basher but... there is a reason that most smiths wont even touch the internals. From the standpoint of a sidarm that your betting your life on, Id reconsider a double stack from anyone. I consider double stack 1911's game guns. Top tier units have tried double stack 1911's from top builders, none have been successful that I know of. They always return to single stack to the point that I dont even know of anyone that tries anymore. I have a Para. But the only thing Para about it at this point is the crappy cast frame and slide. EVERYTHING else has been replaced.

Heres the Gambit I just ran. I went Belt. Wanted a Comp Tac. Backorded to unknown delivery so I started to hunt around for Blade tech. Stumbled across a Safariland. Couldnt find diddly about it for reviews. Took a chance. Bought it. Its fine. If I progress to a level it is not sufficient, it was still worth the 33 bucks to get going. Always good to have a spare .

If you live in that fear.... they win.

IMO Para is junk. STI/SVI is your best bet for double stack. WIth that being said, what are you using it for?

Your making me think! I guess about 5 or 6 years ago...

Well.... I sold my mint Stainless HK USPc .40 for 525 as a point of reference.

Stay tuned guys. I have a lot coming up. I dont want to say to much yet but my products and those of another manufacturer previously only available to Mil and OEM will be available for civy sales soon. I will be representing the civilian market while the other side of the house continues to do Mil/OEM.

axeman_g WHERE WERE YOU BEFORE I SPENT 30K ON THIS!!!!! I fully agree with your statements! Thanks for the input. Thanks for the assist jOn.

I can help in these brands: Jeep Subaru VW The owner of the dealerships is a friend and sponsering my IDPA shooting!!!

So my 1911 build has been fired casually at the range many times. However, the IDPA match last weekend was its first time seeing ACTION . Im happy to report that it performed flawlessly! Despite the fact it had a round count of at least 800 rounds, closer to 1000 im sure, without a cleaning, it only got the most meager of cleanings before the match. Litteraly a brush down the bore, a quick wipedown and lube. It ran like a champ at the match. Zero malfunctions. I wish I could say the same. I had a few malfunctions . Shane

The mount got its first range session last weekend and performed flawlessly. Unfortunately I remembered everything but the camera. Several people shot it and liked it very much. It was an informal shakedown run. More detailed testing to come with some return to zero testing.

For the record, I was really sure of this but without being able to find the statute, I hesitate to say its the law. My understanding of it was just as you carry your FID for long guns, you had to carry your PP for your handguns. I do not carry my originals, I carry a copy. Keep in mind this is NJ and the burdan of proof is always on the citizen to prove legal exception to posession. Much easier to do with the officer if you have permit in hand instead of having it confiscted and having to prove it to the judge later.

Caine, this is where I see a big problem in the law. Its ok to bring to state no reg required so says the state police div of firearms. But how do you transport legally to the range? Thats the question. You know I was rather sure of this and could swear it says it somewhere on the permit but I cant find it anywhere........

jOn, Id find another detective to talk too. He seems to really lack firearms law knowledge. FID card dont mean anything for a pistol. Your supposed to carry your actual purchase permit in transport. I carry a copy of all my purchase permits in my range bag. That way no matter which pistol I grab, I have the purchase permit with me during transport.
