Thanks Gents! C

I have. I'm looking at building one and need info a little more in depth than those. C

An absolute longshot, but I am wondering if anyone has the videos on building a 1911 that they might be willing to let a complete stranger borrow? I am completely obsessed with finding out how they work from inside out and since I am a visual learner, I think the vids would be great. However, the price for all 3 is a little daunting, quite honestly. I live in Bergen Cty if anyone local is willing. Shoot me a PM. Thanks all. C

An absolutely GORGEOUS little beast!!! Congrats on that. I'm elated for you and jealous for me. Enjoy it and Merry Christmas. C

I want one, too. However my 1911 is a 9. No worky! C

Advantage Arms makes one that locks back. C

I will say that I will be taking a GFH course in the near future. Anthony is a very friendly and generous gent and I am looking forward to actually meeting him and shaking his hand very shortly after taking delivery of my first pistol. As for your grip, I got nothin'. Good luck. C

Fusion Firearms 5" Scout frame with a rail and a Caspian Damascus steel slide. All other parts in stainless (safety, beavertail, yadda-yadda). Grips by Sarge in some kind of exotic burled wood. Frame painted Cerakote Ti blue. Slide left natural. Most likely chambered in 9, although if cost is not a problem as far as ammo, maybe not. Probably do 10mm. I am beginning to investigate building my own. It's a daunting project as I have never done anything like it. However, it's not rocket science either. Probably be a 2 year project, which is fine. If I do it, it'll be a mild steel slide. I'll leave the Damascus slide to the pros. C

Welcome aboard! Guns, motorcycles... what's not to like? C

Yup. 9mm 1911 on the way! C

Met with my buddy today and shot (the first time in a long time). We used his Colt 1911. New gun, 2 tone. .45acp. The gun shot well. I didn't. I need to practice. A lot. It did reinforce that I picked the right platform for me. I loved the feel of that gun. Fit my hand really well. One malfunction, but it was probably me limp wristing it just a tad on that round. We put about 150 thru her today. A really pleasant experience. Shot at the Bullet Hole. I've never been there before. Not nearly as bad as I'd imagined or heard. Guys weren't cranky at all, just abrupt. Too many people to deal with and no time to deal with all of them. I get that. Genevieve behind the counter was pleasant enough as was her partner who's name I didn't catch. Just steadily moving folks in and out. I liked it. All in all a good day and I am looking to repeat that feeling a bunch more times in the future. C

Nope.

Gracias!

I am thinking that I have seen this covered, however it seemed a little inconclusive to me. I won't be changing anything for a little bit, but if I do decide to swap out sights, or something on the "normal" side of smithing, is there anyone local to me? I'm in Bergen Cty and willing to take a ride if need be of up to 45 or so minutes. I know that I "CAN" do sights myself, however, I don't want to. I have enough specialty tools and don't want to get into buying more of them if I can take it to someone and have it done well, quickly, and professionally. Therefore, I am looking for recommendations. I you have any, I would appreciate them. If local is impossible, that's fine. But if I can keep it here, that would be great. C

What about the SW 1911 in 9mm? Might be a great way to go for you. I am getting my first handgun and was hellbent on a 9mm 1911 specifically for the ammo cost. It's a pricey enough hobby and I wanted to mitigate it by getting something that is cheaper to shoot. FWIW, Dicks has Remington 9mm on sale for 12 bux a box. Good luck with your choice. I personally agonized over it for a month. C

Welcome aboard! C

Bernardsville doesn't have "real" crime. Follow the chain of command and get it done. It's the law. Don't forget to ask if the same leeway can be given when you have a ticket to pay, you know, putting it off for "real" bills and all. Good luck. C

Did you ask for/did they show you where in the law it is required? C

Welcome aboard! C

Don't write off Ramsey Outdoor in Ramsey (not the Paramus store) for your purchase. I've had pretty good luck with them. I've dealt with Ron a bit. Joe is great as well. Good luck with your purchase. C

FWIW, I'm not a "diehard" at all. I do try and be conscious of the things that I am buying and if it is feasible, I try and buy U.S. I get that some stuff just isn't gonna hit a price mark that I'm comfortable with as it's made here and the wage here makes it impossible to sell at such a low price. I DO, however, take issue with an organization like the NRA that is a promoter of American values and the first promotional piece that I get from them is made overseas. Honestly, the could've kept the hat. If given an option, I would have refused it. If it was on their site for sale... maybe- If it was U.S. made. Mostly, I am making a comment on marketing vs. reality. Nothing more. It's early and this most likely didn't make much sense. Sorry. Gonna drink more coffee now. C

Just got my NRA care package in the mail today. I thought this was/is sad and funny all at once. A stark indication of where we are headed? Or, never mind... I can't seem to upload any pics from anything on here. Not sure what I am doing wrong. What I got is my NRA care package with the cool hat. Big logo on it, American flag on the side... wait for it... made in china tag.

Several of my colleagues!

Do you know if there will be handguns as well? Any more modern long guns: AR-15's and the like? Thanks. C

I most definitely will do that. C
