In addition to a set of sights for my Kimber, I have a 9mm 1911 that I am building. It's at the 'smith getting final fitting done and will have a nice light trigger. I am looking to use it for gun games/range toy. I am thinking that I want some kind of "dot" type sight on it. Small. Mounted low. I've seen the Burris, and I like the price but am looking for input and suggestions. Less money spent is better but will try and pony up for the right piece if I can. Suggestions? Christopher

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... the money shot! Thanks. Much appreciated. C

I don't ever see myself buying a gun that I won't shoot. I'm not that kind of "collector". That's why I didn't buy a Colt King Cobra, blued 4". I wouldn't have shot it and I don't have the $$$ or room for a collection. I would either sell it or shoot it. Good luck. C

Those things are sweet. If I didn't want a .45 1911 so very bad, it would be my next. C

Well, after doing a little more research, it looks like the Trij's are gonna be for me. Unfortunately, I have 3 guns at the 'smith at the moment. My 686 is getting sights, my Taurus is getting sent back and my Fusion custom build is getting the internals fitted so the Trijicon sights will need to wait a little bit. Freejersey, any chance you can post a pic of the sight picture? Thanks all for the advice. C

Interestingly, it looks like I may have found a frame for my gun. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... C

No thoughts on the Taurus as a brand. However, I would suggest getting something a little more toward the full size side of the spectrum. I have shot some compacts and subcompact guns and they are not quite as fun to shoot as their full sized counterparts. For me, the exception is the G19. Great gun. Compact guns feel great in store but have more felt recoil and are harder to control thereby negating the "fun" factor for many. They also, in my limited experience tend to be a little more finiky with ammo. YMMV. Good luck with whatever you choose. C

I am between these and a Wilson Combat sight that I laid eyes on today at OMG Customs. REALLY nice. OY!!! Too many decisions. C

It is craziness like this that frightens me. The site for this shop says, to paraphrase, that they are here to help you exercise your second amendment. Yet, they are crapping all over it with insane rules like those posted. Complete buffoonery, if you ask me. I understand gun shops adhering to the letter of the law, however voluntarily going above what is required is exactly what has gotten us in the position we are currently in. If you are willing to give the progressive agenda an inch, they will most surely take a long assed country mile. IMHO, YMMV. C

Trij does as well. In stock at BH. C

Me? Proprietary Kimber cut. C

Hey Rik. I can't comment on your inquiry. However, and please don't take offense to this, but you may want to turn your "caps lock" off as in internet speak full caps is considered "yelling" by many. Good luck in your search. C

Cool. As long as you don't mind a wimpy little 9 and a plastic .357, I'm in. My Smith is at the shot getting a tire and oil change of sorts! Not sure when it'll be ready. I will PM you my number. C

I love those guns!!! Definitely one for the reloaders. C

I like the railed Sturmgeweher!!! Dtown, when you pick it up, drop me a note if you want to go shoot .357's together! I like my wheel-y!!! C

Real or imagined? I have been thinking long and hard on my next purchase which won't be happening any time soon. What I've concluded is that among other things, I love 1911's. However, the one I want I haven't seen yet and if I do, I most likely won't be able to afford it. What is it, you ask? Stainless steel commander frame with a full dustcover and rail and an officers size grip. Rounded off bobtail style cut, similar to the S&W's. Stainless steel slabside slide, series 70. Titanium firing pin and HD spring. Trijicon night sights. Straight Trigger with a Ti bow. Ed Brown internals. Gunsite thumb safety. Wilson Combat concealed carry hammer and beavertail grip safety. Anyone else got something on their mind? C

I kept waiting for his skinny carbon wheels or the carbon stem on his front end to snap into little bits. When I used to ride a lot, I never would have thought this possible. Guy is awesome! C

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Yeah. She's pricey. And although I love the carbon, not for me. I just like it as... art. But not enough to spring for it. C

I needed a gun fix and took a quick ride to Ramsey Outdoor in Ramsey this morning before work. They had this sitting on the shelf. Too many years in the bicycle industry and being a pseudo-fan of motor sports means that I loves me some carbon fiber and titanium. It makes me want it to do nothing other than geek on it. I mean, I'd shoot it too, but it's just so cool looking. But there is the price tag... http://christensenarms.com/tactical-ca-10-recon C

How long is the drive? C Never mind, it's an hour and a half from me. A bit far, but I'll keep it in mind. C

I live right near Paramus. I am looking for a private club to join. I know about Tenafly, and like it. However I would like to see if there are any other options available to me. What I'm looking for: Clean Well lit Family friendly Really good ventilation Electronic target lines/thingys-you know, you push the button and the target goes out as opposed to walking it out 50 yds if possible 24 hr access would be nice, but not a deal breaker It seems like the bigger outdoor ranges are a bit far for me (Cherry Ridge, Central Jersey, Old Bridge, etc.) but may be worth considering. I don't shoot a lot of rifle, but do have a lever action that I would like to stretch out to 50 yds once in a while. Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Christopher

Me too. C

If you were willing to head to North Jersey, the Boathous in Alpine is amazing. City views. It's a big, raised and covered space but open air. Decorate it nice, get a grill master to cook, have a party. We looked there before we decided to elope. Total cost for the space was around 5-6 hundred dollars. At the end of it, we were looking at about 15k, which is pretty cheap around here. But, we did elope to Vegas with her kids, came back and had a keg party in the back yard for 65 friends and family. It was a good plan for us. C

I'm curious too as I have a nice little Taurus pocket .357 for sale in the marketplace. C
