1911 vs. HK45C vs. the world
bhunted, I was curious if it was sensitive to not cycling if you limp wristed it or if you meant it was tough in the wrists. I figured that's what you meant. Hows it run hollow points? That's what I meant when I said duty ammo, should have clarified, sorry. Yes the HK is easy, even in 45, to shoot. What impessed me the most about the HK45c was how consistently it recoils and returns to target.

1911 vs. HK45C vs. the world
Although yours may run good, many do not. Also I would be interested in playing a little Devil's advocate with you and would like to know if you have done a high shooting pace training class with it or put a solid amount of duty ammo through it? Also, what do you mean by its not for the wimpy limp wristed? Just to set the tone of my questions, Im NOT picking on your pistol, Im honestly interested in the answers. Shane

1911 vs. HK45C vs. the world
I'm going to skip the caliber debate. Rang gun pick whatever tickles your fancy. But for carry, reliability is a key factor. Picking between an HK45c or the stock Colt, the HK would get my vote. Keep in mind I am a 1911 guy! Not a fan of short 1911's. I can live with a high end build in a 4" but nothing shorter.

Advice on beginner motorcycle
" I will guarantee you that if you are above 33-40 years old you will regret anything remotely resembling a sport riding position including some of the milder models mentioned in this thread." Now keep in mind I am NOT recommending a full scoot sport bike as a first bike but I disagree with the above statement. I have been fortunate enough to be able to own a lot of bikes. Im closing in on 46 years old. I tried 3 different cruisers, a Suzuki M109R, a HD Street Bob, and a HD V-Rod in recent years. I kept 0! I have actually found forward control bikes to be the most uncomfortable of all bikes for me. Truth be told the Ducati was rough on the wrists but other than that, was pretty comfortable. But my current ride works the best for me. All the nice race bits and power but easy on the wrists.

Anyone here into (authentic) Japanese Swords.....???
Thanks for the compliment. Where to start? If your looking for authentic but at a reasonable cost, you would probably be looking at a military officers sword. I believe they can be had for reasonable money.

Brick Armory Closed by NJ Div of Taxation ?
The value of the hanging steel is in that its already hung, Im thinking. My thought is to deconstruct it, then re-hang it elsewhere would likely exceed its value(which is why it is not a worthy pursuit for the tax man either). The question is, who currently owns it? Is rent in default and now the property owner is now the legal possessor? But these are just my speculations but I am sure it will all become clear at some point in time.

I would theorize there are assets that the tax dept simply cannot seize and or it is not cost effective to do so but still have value.

Brick Armory Closed by NJ Div of Taxation ?
Owners of what would be the question. I don't think anyone would buy "Brick Armory". What they may buy are remaining assets from the former company (hardware). For example, if a car dealership closes and was formerly a Pontiac dealership and I buy the lifts, tools, etc etc and make a deal with the landlord, and open a Jeep dealership, it hardly has anything to do with the Pontiac dealership that was there.

In my opinion, this is actually one of the best ways into the industry! Start your own gig.

Career in Firearms
The firearms industry is a tough one! I work in several lines of business and I can tell you that the gun industry is rather unique. Its tough to wrap your head around that the shooting community gravitates toward virtuous ideals, yet behind the walls of the industry it can be quite the opposite. I think a big part of that stems from two things. 1)Egos that can barely fit in the room with people in it. Money, which actually splits into some sub catagories. a)initially successful companies that have no idea how to manage money or the biz b)except for some success stories, unless your a major player, theres not a lot of stable money. I have lost count of the behind the scenes battles, lawsuits, flat out screwing overs and downright intellectual property thefts I have seen. Proliferation is another problem. So many people gravitating toward the business. So many new companies making stuff. Makes my head spin! I think we are at market saturation currently. It will be interesting to see how far prices fall to move the mountains of inventory on shelves. Its not my intention to ring the bell of doom and gloom. But more to illuminate that once your on the other side, it may not look at all like you expected.

A pattern welded 1911 is more what I had in mind including the frame! Here is a rose I did as a class project in Blacksmithing class using a coal forge from the 1800's. The heat a coal forge can create is rather amazing. +3000 degrees. Gave it to the wife for xmas. She loved it.

Brick Armory Closed by NJ Div of Taxation ?
Guys, a bunch of you are pissed and understandably so. BUT be careful not to displace your anger and frustration on the wrong people. Tony, JT, myself and others are not just dealers, we are part of the shooting community and have intervened on behalf of said community to try and help out our brothers. So don't mistake that helping hand as any kind of association with Brick Armory outside of trying to help its former patrons. I don't think there is a single individual here that condones what has taken place. But none of us can change what has happened to you. The only thing we can do is try and offer a helping hand if at all possible.

Keep that ammo separate and I would not shoot it. It may need to be looked at.
