Combat Auto

thanks Alec great info...You and Bob sold me on the 625...Will be looking in a few weeks, the FFLs don't like them sitting around too long (permit timing deal)...And the Governer will be the back-up plan which will still make me happy according to other posts.

Trust Mr Bond, I have many autos all 45s, and James, et al, did me right with a 44 mag S&W revolver rec...It is a load of fun, and with 3 permits to go I will get at least one more revolver - new respect! Now, if you (insist) on getting another auto - man, a Big-Strapping-Guy like you needs to step-up to 45 cal (1911, XD, etc) - you will not regreat it! ;-)

Great Post, Great Facts.

Bob, Alec, I did notice that one too because of the 45 acp...These are the two 625s on S&W sight...It reads as if they are tuned which is great...What is up with the grips though the JM looks nice and "woody" but slipery, on the other one, can't tell but looks slippery (I know I can change them though). http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_765645_-1_757896_757751_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y

That would be a good research project for you - get the last 6 issues and tabulate the SA ads vs the other 3 ;-)....Seriously, the XDs is an ecellent pistol...Two of us here at least coroborated...BTW, I gave up reading sailing magazines cause they never po-poed any of the boats they evaluated :-)...Like I said, I am just a researcher - and not responsible for the conspiracies (in fact, or theories as the case may be ;-)).

Nice!!!!

Good speach - lot's of real emotion...He should develop the themes further..His secreat seervice gives him added credibility/

seems almost every week folks ask for carry recs... If you like the stopping power of a 45 - see the "Aprl/MaY" 2013 ISSUE. Springfield XDs (full didclosure, proud "parent" :-)). Glock G36 Kahr PM45 Taurus PT 745 They ranked as shown above at completion of the "shootout". The XDs won in all catoagories except "ease of reload" (which was taked 1st by the Glock)....There were about 10 or so parameters which they evaluated including accuracy. Good read if you are in the market...I've posted a couple of times how fine a pistol the XDs is - so I am glad the 4 shooters that did the shootout confirmed my gut feeling (I've never shot any other subcompact)... If you personally are not happy with the results, don't blame me - I am just a "researcher" (and shooter) ;-).

Anyone have one, shoot one, or heard anything good or bad about the S&W Governer? It can shoot 45 acp as well as two other types of amo (one being shot of some sort)...(I stock tons of 45 acp for my autos so this is a big plus for me). I just got my last 3 (of 6) permits renewed and it would be ashame to let one go to waste - although I feel accumulating all these pistols in such a short time is like a drug habbit... Two of the permits are locked into semi-autos, but I have a new respect for revolvers after shooting my 629 44 mag last week...So my last permit "must" be anothert revolver - the Governer if I can find one in 6 weeks or so.

Amazon Bravery we can try to aspire to.

For the "record", I checked every screw on the gun today, the only one loose (slightly) was the strain screw - i tightened it but didn't put the purple lock-tight yet...I will be interested to see if it shipped this way or became loose after the first 50 rounds i shot last week...I'll check it after the next time I shoot it...This has become one of my favorate guns...Simplicity coupled with the raw power...I used the Pro-40 you guys recomended so now I can not only stroke it btwn shoots, but look at my puuurrrty face in the awsome reflection ;-). Thanks again to all you revolver Guys!

Just an FYI...This guy is great, i think it was Ray Ray that posted his speak last week.

nice - wish it was longer though.

Bravo for this Company!

I really respect these companies giving up revenue to do the right thing...Hope i have an opertunity to buy from them in near future.

This according to Cabalis who called me today (I asked a month ago to get me one)... Anyone hear anything along these lines as far as Benelli auto availability? (Cheeze, glad I bought that Remi-870-pump-tactical last month)

My Letter tp the Governer sent Sunday I think...Note, I challanged him to a "higher-calling" - esp. last paragraph (I learned this in Copywriting School): Dear Governor Christie, (With a copy to all my state representatives), I urge you (not) to sign into law, any new Gun Control law that may get through the N.J. legislation. N.J. already has some of the strictest gun laws in our nation including registration, background checks, and magazine capacity limits. Any further gun-control regulations will not only continue to reduce the ability of law abiding citizens to defend themselves in their homes, but will also degrade our Second Amendment rights to an intolerable level. Contrary to what Governed Cuomo of N.Y. thinks, the 2ndAmendment is not about “killing a deer”. It is about a free society maintaining those freedoms. This is a right given to us by our Founding Fathers and shall not be taken away. This is a right I’ve defended as a United States Navy Veteran. This is a God-Given right, the right to self-defense. Hitler, Stalin, and other totalitarian governments throughout history have disarmed their law abiding citizens in order to induce total control of society. We must do our part that this shall never happen in our great nation. The misguided efforts of those that would take our 2ndAmendment rights away should be directed toward mental illness management. Governor Christie, you must stand as the last bastion in our state, to veto any such additional gun control. Your duty as an American and Governor, to honor the 2nd Amendment goes well beyond N.J.’s boarders, goes well beyond this time, to the many American generations to follow. Let them not look back at us in their day and time and say we failed to answer the call to protect their rights. Respectfully,

Everything has gone up - but if I recall correctly since I grabed a bunch before the panic, maybee .75 to 1.25 a round depending on standard vs match etc....Worth every penny blowing a $100 on a hundred rounds ot the range - cost you that much to go on a date :-). Dates can be had any time; shooting an M1a/M14 PRICELESS!

Get an M1a or don't get anything ;-)...Seriously, best battle rifle ever made - I was hitting center mass 99% of time at 200 Yards with irons sights (and I only started shooting last June (after a 30 year vacation from the sport))...Going for 300 yards very soon...Funny thing, even though it shoots a kick-ass .308 it is not considered an assault weopon...Must be cause it is so sleek, beautifull, traditional looking, semi...I love my M1a-Scout .

awsome!

Freeeeeekin-AWSOME --- I especially like the part about the Two Classes - SPOT ON!

Leave the Gun, Take the Conollie's - God Frather I, Seriously, best not to keep bullets in mag - cop might bight you... Also, FYI you may put your amo in unlocked bag and guns in unloked bag in your locked trunk when traveling to range as long as no access from passanger compartment.

Study history, totolitarianism, progressivism, collectivism, - they think you exist to serve the "state"...They do not like individualism, or anything that gives you "power" or freedom (like a gun)...They refrain from believe in God (or spitit if you will) because that would imply there is a higher power then the state...I could go on, but you will find your answer at the cross-roads of these "isms".
