And here is what I got back from Freedom: We apologize for all of the confusion. If you want to reorder through our site I will honor the price for you. Just put the items in your cart and call 208-746-3668 or email me and I will make sure you are taken care of. Thank you Brenda Anderson Customer Service Representative Howell Munitions & Technology, Inc. | Freedom Munitions | X-Treme Bullets 815 D st. Lewiston, Id. 83501 Phone: (208)748-1492 Email: [email protected] I've done that, Brenda honored the price and all is good. Very friendly. The customer service here from Freedom was excellent. Gearhog? Not so great...

Here's what I sent to "Darcy" Darcy, Can you please explain why Freedom Munitions cannot ship to my address? I’ve ordered from them in the past and had no problem. I’ve cc’d Freedom Munitions on this email. If Freedom Munitions refuses to honor the offer it will be the last time I purchase from them or Gearhog.

I got the same request today...

100% on the GSSF recommendatiuon for Blue Label pricing, but be aware that dealers set their own prices. At RTSP I got a blue label at the published price, while at HG it was $15 above published blue label for another model. So, ask about pricing rather than assume all blue labels are the same. My $.02

OK, I'm traveling on business and bored to death. I'm watching the movie "Magnum Force" and one of the bad guys just used a silencer on his S&W revolver. So my question: Does that work? or is it Hollywood hype. I would think the airgap between the cylinder and forcing cone would limit a silencer effectiveness on a revolver... So what do the experts say?

There are $400 S&W revolvers out there, you just have to look. My last purchase was a mdl 19 6" in the original box in excellent condition - for $400 plus tax and NICS. Check all your local gun shops and let them know what you want. It'll turn up sooner or later.

No idea, sorry.

My father is a Master Locksmith (retired) for years. If you're still stuck and local to Morristown, try Cy Drake Locksmiths on Ridgedale Ave. Someone there should be able to get that open without destroying it.

Sorry, dup deal. Didn't see the first one but it's still a good price...

Never used them before, can't vouch for them but price seems good for Freedom Munitions. 500 rounds of new .45acp for $116 shipped to my door (if it ever really shows up). http://www.gearhog.com/?did=68962&rf=739298

Here, what happens is the media gets hold of the story and blames the gun. Calls for more "common sense" background checks and parades by the Newtown families... Our politicians are bought and paid for. Common sense need not apply. Some call me cynical. I say cynicism is expressed experience.

Sorry, but that is the LAST image I want to see when I'm striking the pose...

I don't believe those base pads will fit the CZ 10-round mags. CZ 10-rounders are short mags with an extended plastic base. The +3 base pads are meant for the full-length mags.

Try the Sig P225.

27 - a couple of lucky guesses in there

Welcome!

I have 2 Legion pistols - 229 and 226 SAO. Let's just say I'm a fan of Sigs in general and the Legion series in particular. If I could only have one of them I would keep the 229. It just seems to me to be a great all-around handgun. The trigger on it has about the sweetest reset this side of a custom 1911.

Got mine. Thanks

Well that just took "that sucks" to a whole new level. Sorry to hear/see that. If it helps, SIG has great customer service...

My Mustang is never done. Every once in a while I find some parts for it, and I usually get my garage supplies there - latex gloves, carb & brake cleaner, that kind of stuff. Never know what "treasures" are hidden in someone else's junk pile. I have so much stuff I try and sell every year, ranging from Holley carbs and other car stuff, to tools, to yard equipment and everything in between. It's more a social event now. I've been going with the same guys for a good 25 years - we bring the grill and cooler, a canopy for the sun and just bs all day. Take turns watching the spot so we all get to walk around. I usually take all day friday to walk and sit at the spot Saturday.

Yes, I know the swap meet isn't what it used to be as far as car parts, but I've been going for so long I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't go. Anyone else going? I'll be in spot RI26 (that's R eye 26) all day Saturday. Stop by and introduce yourself. Dean

Heritage Guild Branchburg is a blue label dealer but they don't advertise it...

Karma is a bitch! LOL

To the OP, what is your budget? I currently have GSG, Rock Island, Para, Sig, Colt, Kimber, Smith & Wesson and a Novak Custom model. It's a time-tested platform that you can get into for under $400 or spend $4,000 if you have it. For a first timer to the platform I recommend the full-size version in .45acp. It's what everyone first thinks of when you say 1911. My suggestion is to set your budget and buy one of the major brands in that range. Look at some of the features - internal vs. external extractors, sights, grip shape, rail or not, steel or alloy frame, etc - and buy from one of the major brands. At the lower end my Rock Island is a great shooter (but is a 9mm). At the middle, I have a Sig Tacops .45 that is a brick. Want to spend more? There is no upper limit to what you can spend - lots of custom and high-end builders. My Novak is an $800 gun with $2,200 of work done to it. If your local to Heritage Guild Easton or want to make a trip let me know. Always happy to make it a 1911 day.
